Capital Players in College

[Anonymous]

This board spends so much time dissecting everything about their recruiting, but no one steps up and compliments them when their players contribute at the college level. Say what you will about the club, but it works!

Should people criticize them if players don’t contribute?

We know a Cap player who hardly got to play in college.

We all know Cap players who were failures in college

Failures? I’d look at it as they used the sport they love as leverage to get into the best school they could )and I’m referencing academics over team rank). I don’t think Cao girls are looking as lacrosse as their future profession. Which is cool for those who are awesome enough to do it, just say cap girl’s trajectory is more often than not different

Stop with this leverage crap. Girls want to play in college, nobody wants to sit the bench.

I am sure that I am missing some - Capital freshmen are currently getting good minutes at Marquette, Denver, Duke and Florida. Many others seeing the field, too.

As a former Capital Blue parent, I will tell you the vast majority of the girls and the Capital staff cared only about playing lax in college and we routinely got push back for insisting that our DD was picking a college for academics and if lax worked out, great, but otherwise no thanks.

nobody wants to sit the bench, but people also want into a good college and have a good career and good connections --so I wouldn’t call that a failure. If you’re on a team that is stacked with all kinds of good players only 3-5% of all lax players even get a D1 roster spot! that is hardly a failure

Much better to go to the best academic school you’re able and play club. Plenty of girls leave D1 for club, including transferring for better academics, had much more playing time and fun on club, had a much more balanced college life, able to actually take classes that they wanted, study abroad and develop other interests besides lax.
