Lacrosse recruiting, regardless of your hometown, occurs primarily over the summer at showcase camps, school camps, and tournaments. Very few coaches are willing to come to TN because they can only look at one or two recruits, when the could go to several cities on the Atlantic coast and see a dozen in one game. I would guess that these guys played well over the summer. They probably sent the coaches some film as well.

Thanks.

Where are the camps and tournaments held?

Do the players just sign up for them or do they have to be invited?

If they have to be invited, how do they get invitations?

 

Sorry for all the questions, but I have a young nephew who is interested in playing in college.

The better showcase camps have typically been the TOP205 and Peak 200 in Baltimore. They're "invitation only" but I believe the website have places where you can submit some kind of resume or a coach/official can nominate them. After that, they do have to be selected which is certainly not a gimmie.

 

You can also get some good exposure if you can get on a travel team going to the tournament in Vail or on a team going to Champ Camp. I believe there are a couple of TN all-star teams but don't know much about them. There is a camp at Limestone College called the Divie Top 150 which usually gets coaches from some of the smaller southern DII and DIII schools. They also take an all-star team from the camp to Champ Camp so that's an option.

 

I hope that helps.

I am pretty sure that the MBA players who were recruits spent almost every weekend this summer at one camp or another. I think they also went to some camps in the fall.

 

It is amazing that Connor and Clay have already committed before they even have played any of their junior years. Our best football players dd not know where they were going to college until February of their senior years. They did not get offers until the last week before signing day.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
