[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DM will be an assistant coach at Bulls next season.  From what I hear, he doesn't want to be the head coach, just an assistant with access to the fields for NL to use.  Why commit to HS lax when you focus on $$$ with club team![/quote]

DM is hands-down the best recruiter for the area boys. His NL teams have done great with their recruiting and its ALL up to DM being proactive. Kicked ML, DCE and Hawks butts. Works the coaches on the sidelines and has more of his 24 and 25s landed than any of the other metro area squads. So if all Bullis got was his recruiting expertise that is a huge win for them.[/quote]

Agree and disagree here--DM is def a great recruiter, but only at the club level.  Did not have the same success convincing players to schlep out to Hyattsville, which may be more a factor of Dematha's location that anything to do with DM.  As far as X's and O's go, he's nothing special and he has a pretty thin track record of developing players.  But if you want a guy who can poach/steal other team's players, yeah he's the one.  Big used car salesman energy and will promise anything to anyone.

This part--"Kicked ML, DCE and Hawks butts"--isn't really accurate.  Hawks and DCE are both better than NL at 2025.  DCE is better than NL at 2026 and Hawks are about equal.  2027 NL is stronger than all the other clubs.  2028 Hawks are better and DCE and NL are even.

ML is another story, I'll let other people beat that dead horse.  [/quote]

We are talking apples and oranges here.  He may be good at recruiting kids to NL that is one thing but the OP states that he is good at "getting kids recruited by working coaches on the sidelines"  this would suggest that he is at tournaments approaching coaches during games trying to convince them to consider his players.  First, that would be a bad idea and would turn coaches away.  Second, once they get to the event the club coach does not "convince" a college coach to take a kid.  That is not how it works.  I remember when they used to day the black wolf guy was worth all the baggage because he could get a kid recruited.  It worked when good kids showed up for his teams.  Look what happened once the talent stopped showing up.  In my opinion the greatest recruiting to get kids into the NL program is CM he should get the job.[/quote]

Is Black Wolf still around?[/quote]
