[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Megills are awesome guys, but their program was terrible.  Latching onto Bethesda and Express was all about taking advantage of one great team (2021).  Hard to sustain that because the rest of Performance is crude and rest of Bethesda is just a youth rec program.  Once those guys split up to go to different HS, the trinity was doomed to fall apart.[/quote]

I think Megills just assumed boys would return but did not cultivate relationships with existing families.  You can't take people for granted and expect them to fork over thousands of dollars just for a name.  If they want to create a brand, they need to put effort into offering something that will draw people in other than a name.  Maybe they think they can just trade on the more established LI Express.

The 2021 team was a very talented anomaly - a group that had a lot of talent from the beginning. Period.  Their reputation was not enough to build a program and now that the team has split, all bets are off.  Some who bought into the hype of DCE are rumbling behind the scenes and quietly shopping around.  The $3-4 full-year investment that they were forced to pay upfront was a tough pill to swallow but it has had the desired effect -- it has locked kids in place for the year no matter how unhappy the start has been. I'm hearing plenty of buyers remorse stories.[/quote]
