2026 and September 1st..

[Anonymous]

A handful of local players are in the ILboys first rollout of 3 stars for 2026 prior to 9/1. Four and five stars to be released soon. I think there were over 200 3 stars all together.

First - IL 5 stars and other 4 stars / top showcase players to rack up that top 50-100, second - do they really look for specialized positions like fogo and goalies (IS 4 and 3 stars)? then third - rest of the 4 stars / 3 stars and showcase studs?

For girls, the order is generally: (1) Blue Chips; (2) goalies / top 2-way middies / draw specialists; (3) defense/offense only players. Which pretty well lines up with what you are positing above.

I think this would be for Girls not boys.

Down year for 2025? Which club or clubs are you referring to for the 25 class?

2025 was the worse overall class in the country for almost a decade and the dmv 25s weren’t much help with a couple of exceptions. Even some of the four star 2025s wouldn’t of been three stars in the 2024 class it was so bad

With that talent, NL 26 coaching must suck.
