[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this still be argued?

Most of the top middle school players on Cavs will leave and go to either VLC or Blackwolf. End of story. It's been happening for years, and unless things drastically change that trend will continue.

The level of tournaments and exposure Cavs HS teams get vs. the competition are on different levels. Winning trophies at Shore Wars is not the same as winning at Crabfeast or Big4. You're talking B level teams vs. the best teams in the country. College coaches flock to the tournaments that have the talent. If your son wants to play at that level, [b]obviously you need to be on those teams that compete at those events. [/b][u]Cavs neither participates and/or gets invited to play.

Cavs run a good program and are fantastic for the sport and growth of the game in LoCo. Don't confuse that with elite level lacrosse.

A few 8th graders (only two impact players) left Cav one for VLC one for BW.  Not a huge loss.  Cav still a top two option in NOVA travel lacrosse for 2023.  You are living in the past about tournaments.  Later recruiting cycle changes everything.  If a player is good enough he can attend prospect day, showcases, UA team and he will get looks.  There are only a few top D1 players in NOVA each year.  Most could have played in any club and still get noticed if they are good enough.  Most will go to private lower D1, D2, and D3 from BW, VLC, and Cav.  Landscape is always changing and players should play where they are most comfortable.  BWHS is a power house and coaches know the team and program.[/quote]

The two kids who left Cavalier were huge losses.  Also, do not compare Cavalier recruiting with the Big 3.  If you look at the Cavalier website, 75% of the kids they list as commits committed after they left Cavalier.

You are dead wrong about the quality of tournaments having an impact.  Kids need to do a variety of things to get looks and that includes being seen with the club team.  Cavalier gets invited to a much lower caliber of tournament than the top clubs and it has a huge effect.  You are kidding yourself.  If that wasn't the case, Cavalier wouldn't keep losing their best players all the time.[/quote]
