Those are great programs but can't even compare to what IMG offers from a facilities/training/nutrition standpoint. No HS can. Plus, IMG plays a national schedule & usually one of the 2 most difficult schedules annually along with Hill Academy.Nice accolades though leaving a great school n lax program in Delbarton for img is bit of a head scratcher especially if club is Patriot. Delby n Summit depth, level of play, comp n coaching is top notch. Villy n some other pa seem to be tracking these two programs
With all due respect , my op differs. Their facilities are certainly impressive n Naticoke was the real deal but think they are overhyped n their schedule is not as strong as believed. They came up to Summit a couple of years ago n lost. They played a eight loss NJ prep in Lawrenceville last year n squeezed out a victory by one, by comparison a G3 Moorestown lost handily to Delby but squashed Lawrenceville by nine. They get past Salisbury by one , a team that got crushed by several Conn preps. In 16 they lost to Hill by ten and losing to a 6L Georgetown Prep was not a fluke. With all due respect , a Delby , Darien or Landon imo would beat them handily n Summit n other top local publics in Conn, NJ n LI could play with them despite not having all the advantages mentioned.Those are great programs but can't even compare to what IMG offers from a facilities/training/nutrition standpoint.

Absolutely no disrespect taken, I was aware they lost some games in NJ & was really basing the difficulty of their schedule on the big games I've seen covered by IL & watched on TV. I probably shouldn't have made the schedule comment with such minimal knowledge. I appreciate your insight into NJ HS Lax. Still tough to fault a kid for going to IMG with their outrageous facilities & nutrition/training program but I can certainly see where you're coming from as far as competition.With all due respect , my op differs.
