Dont know of any that are at all impressive. The Next Level commits for 2019 are pathetic. Schools that either you have never heard of or that you would only attend as a last choice option.

How are the 2019 VLC players doing with commitments?

Horrible. They had a good defenseman, but he left for VLC and committed shortly afterwards to Bucknell. Outside a very good 2021 team, the program is not very good.

We know Ray McGill and Bobby Horsey are probably telling you in your ear your son is probably the best player they have ever coached and will be a top ACC player someday when they really just want your $$$$

Expect quite a few boys from DC Express 2021 will make varsity freshmen year at their various high schools, private and public.

This is good trolling. I actually expect that most of them will be starting in the ACC this year. Several will be Tewaaraton finalists.

Yes. To go to any college (family doesn't care), come back, get a job in commercial real estate, have dad set you up with a junior membership at Congressional or Columbia Country Club, have kids, scream like a maniac at CYO basketball games and club lacrosse games, then burst with pride when your son goes to Gonzaga so that you can put that bumper stick on the car.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Do they listen to someone like Bordley? Yes. A handful of HS have coaches and staffs that command a lot of attention.

The recruiting proccesss up until this year was a complete joke.

Fast forward to today, college coaches can’t commit kids prior to them entering their junior year of HS. As a result of this change, colleges will take their time to evualate prospecticd playeee and will solicit input from HS coaches. Under the previous rules they couldn’t rely on HS coaches input because half the times college were making offers to kids who weren’t even on the varsisty rosters yet alone the varsisty coaches had never even coached the kid.

Let me ask you this.... who do you think a college coach would listen to in this situation . A club coach who is hyping his own player up because he happens to be on the roster of that stellar 2020 Club team or the HS coach who happens to watch the kid 6x a week in practice and happens to have visibility of the kids work ethic in the classroom.

I don't agree. My kid exclusively got recruited through his high school. Not even sure they talked to his club coach. And he didn't go to an IAC school or Gonz
Do they listen to someone like Bordley? Yes. A handful of HS have coaches and staffs that command a lot of attention. But these recruiters don't have any interest in 99% of the schools, especially the public ones. They make assessments at summer/fall recruiting team/individual events, and then follow up with club coaches.

The new rules are great, but they are not supporting your bizarre agenda.
