[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ryan McClernan is diabolical. He once threatened to kick a kid out of the program when a mom commented it would be helpful to put directions to tournaments or full address of the venue on the notices on the VLC website. At Crabs comments or parent feedback or parent questions aren't welcomed. Shut up and pay up to play or get lost. Just so noone is misled, the VLC apologist is wrong. McClernan is an awful person. I'll grant you not as awful as Cabell or Trig, but that isn't too ringing an endorsement.[/quote]

My views are based upon 10+ years with kids in the local lacrosse scene. I have heard good things about VLC, but it seems that MadLax and Blackwolf are still the standard bearers with respect to the better players coming out of their programs.

Don't know McClernan, so he gets a pass. As for Trig and Maddux, I know them and would not put them in the same box. Maddux is all about the benjamins and seems to have sociopathic issues as it pertains to his communications and threats to his players and their families. It is a sad commentary on the mentality of the lacrosse community that he can still field teams and get kids recruited. Trig is tough and can be abrasive, but he is loyal to his players and makes sincere efforts to get his kids recruited. Some players (and their families) are not suited to the Blackwolf approach, but it is not the same "system" as MadLax. I trust Trig, but I can't say the same for Cabell. In the college recruiting world, I believe there is a lot more faith put in an endorsement from Trig.
