If you are a virgina kid looking to be recruited you are at ML, NL or DCE and you go to St. John’s, Gonzaga or PVI. For everybody else True is a great option. It’s better run than Top Caliber and it has better coaches than VLC.


I thought VLC and PVI always had a ton of top level recruits. Am I missing something?

It's pretty sarcastic that the True 2029 Green team was the best team and outperformed the True 2029 Black team.

1-2 was the theme this weekend at a weak tournament.

Not a good showing for Team VA as well. Other than the 2024 team. I think as far as N.va teams I would go Blackwolf, VLC, Top Caliber, True, Team VA. Madlax is more of a DMV team as they do get a lot of MOCO kids.

Is Blackwolf doing anything for 2027 or 2028? I have not heard about that team for awhile.

True's performance and number of teams are pretty consistent. Usually AA for the Black team and A for the Green team. Most 2025-2030 all have 2 teams.
TC and Team VA/Hammers are having trouble fielding teams at the younger age groups, maybe 1 team every 2 years now. It has to do with True and new teams like STJ.
VLC's 2025-2027 HS teams are OK. 2028 doesn't have a team and the younger ones are to be seen.
Madlax is a DMV team. The owner's kids go to Landon and don't even live in NOVA.

I am also curious with Blackwolf. The old days some goods kids would skip good VLC and TC teams to go to Blackwolf in HS.

I think a couple kids from PVI that graduated last year went through Blackwolf and put some of their kids into some good college programs.

I'm confused. Collectively, the teams went 11-7 and exclude the 25 team went 10-3 losing games in the semis to good teams (or the winning B bracket). Team Carolina is ranked 53, Charleston Elite is 83, True NC 704 was a regional team so no ranking but a mix of kids from True Premier/LKN that are ranked 40 and 57, respectfully - so a good team. Team 91 Charlotte Blue (no ranking) could be considered bad.

I guess but I'm assuming this poster is a VLC backer...what exactly did they do this weekend. 29 team won the B division playing no one. Not sure what any other VLC team did because I don't have the inclination to look them up.

Could have been better but could certainly been worse.
