Capital 28 and 29 Blue Classes: High Schools represented

[Anonymous]

Now that the 26 class has graduated and the 27s have committed, it is interesting to see where Capital is getting their players for 28/29 Blue classes.

28 Blue Class:
4 Potomac
3 NCS
3 SJC
2 Holy Child
2 Visi
2 Battlefield
1 SSSAS
1 STAB
5 Others

29 Blue Class:
5 NCS
3 Holy Child
3 SR
3 SJC
2 SSSAS
2 Visi
1 Potomac
4 others

Some observations:

NCS has 8 Blue team players. I can see why some are saying they are "stacked" as they enter the higher division. They should have a good year next year.

Where are the SSSAS girls? The 26 and 27 Blue teams had a bunch of Saints girls. The lower classes look thin. Or are they all on Orange ready to be pushed up given sudden improvement?

Holy Child and SJC have more girls than usual. Looks like both programs are ticking up. SJC looks to be gaining on GC.

Potomac looks to have a strong 28 class.

Only 3 SR girls as they seem to have a pipeline to other teams.

No GC girls. There used to be at least some representation.

As more DMV players venture to other clubs north, has there been a dilution of the Capital talent pool? The recent club rankings suggest that could be the case, but time will tell.

It will be interesting to see who is selected for the 2030 Blue team.

GC has girls on Hero's, M&D, and Skywalkers - 5 2029s on SW Blue. I think they will be fine. A few BLC girls are coming in next year so I would expect Capital representation.

Good analysis. Lots of work. Some notes:

--For HS, it is meaningful, as you suggested, to include Cap Orange numbers. Several of those players will start/contribute at places like SSSAS, Visi, SJC and elsewhere.

--Hard to assess GC and SR without Hero's or M&D Black players in particular. And, frankly, there are a smattering of other clubs providing talent to these schools. SR has an incoming M&D DC transfer player that is also outstanding. SJC also has some very good 2029s from other clubs like MDU East and 3DVA.

--In terms of 2030s, SR apparently has a massive class of 2030 club players coming in (12). A number of those girls from BLC, in particular, will likely make Capital. Also, may be early to say anyone gaining on GC as they are rumored to have a strong 2030 class incoming, not to mention 2029s who didn't get too much Varsity time given the large 2026 class.

Good note on Sky Walkers. Should have included re GC. They have a good 2028 from there as well.

I think you guys need the 2027s for a decent assessment.

2027 Cap Blue:

5 SSSAS (their demise may have been exaggerated)
3 SR
3 Potomac
2 GC
1 SJC
1 Bullis
1 HC
1 Visi
1 HA
1 PVI
1 AS
1 Maret!
1 St John Paul

And PP's point stands re other clubs. See eg 2027s from M&D Black and/or Hero's Green who will have leading roles at SR (maybe POY), GC, SJC, and Visi. And Cap Orange at SJC, PVI, and Visi.

Counting Cap Blue players and pretending that tells you who’s good is pretty dumb. The gap between the top kids and the bottom kids is huge, and this “analysis” completely ignores that. It also leaves out M&D Black, Hero’s Green, and Skywalkers Blue, so it’s basically worthless.

Visitation has a whopping 5 CB players on it’s varsity team? That does not look good for their prospects next year. I thought that was the big Cap Blue school?

What are the "others" schools? Why did you include singular players from some schools, but not "others"?

Yes, it used to be 5 or more Capital (B&O) each year at Visi. Visi and NCS are switching places.

Was not counting orange. Blue are the impact players. Also, NCS may beat Visi but they are going to have a rude welcome next tear to AA ball.

My guess are public high schools. Deemed not worthy to be listed.

Plenty or orange players that are impact players. thats an ass comment. Give me the top 5 orange players over some of the bottom blue players any day. Many times they are equal if not better players. I have seen it at each year.

Not who you were responding to, but at ‘28 and ‘29, the Orange pickings are quite slim.

No doubt from a mom who will go on to splash social media about her daughter's commitment to sit the bench at Colgate.
