LOL!!!!! ask any SR lax parent. There is zero chance that KM will spend her summer weekends coaching in NJ, Maryland and Delaware with a bunch of players who could not make Capital. She is a mom of many young kids. Can't see her making the commitment to this. And justifiably so. Only SR parents with no brains would send their kids to MDDC on that promise. I know the trend on these pages is to trash Capital, but if people are seeing this as a great alternative, they are smoking the crack pipe.

This makes sense. There’s no way she has the bandwidth to coach that team. She has enough on her plate.

The last 5-10 pages of the 2028 thread are very interesting (if you skim over the odd back and forth pointless comments of a couple posters. Much insight into how things have worked for high school, and much of what hasn’t. comments from MD parents that they feel capital girls are undersized and soft was interesting as well. I had never heard that, but it makes sense.

You lost all credibility pointing folks to anything 2028.

Some random anonymous “MD Parent” states that college coaches think Capital girls are undersized and soft.

While actual college coaches at Duke, UNC, Johns Hopkins, Navy, Notre Dame, Stanford and a bunch of Ivy League schools will be welcoming Capital players to their rosters this fall.

Wasn’t looking for credibility, just thought the 28 thread was interesting and discussed things I hadn’t heard before that’s all.

Why in the 28 thread not credible? Genuinely curious so if you can refrain from belittling me, it would be appreciated.

The 2028 class for whatever reason has a track record of being completely nuts. Several shutdown threads and just look at the similar 2028 Thread to this one, its over 427 pages of nonsense.

Sorry to have been rude, but its a learned response to anything 2028.

If your daughter is good enough to make the A team and you are willing to drive to Heros, M&D, Skywalkers or MD United, then all this convo is pointless. Outside of that it's Capital all day every day. Capital Orange has a commit list history on par with that of MD United's A team.

Capital's ranking can take a hit due to the equal playing time practice, if the team is not insanely stacked like the 2025 and 2026 teams the teams will take a hit. You're kid will get looks though and playing time, other teams will be higher ranked, but you could be driving to Delaware to watch your kid hand out gatorade on the bench.

Thank you! Very helpful.

One follow up to the point about Heros, M&D, Skywalkers or MD United. If your daughter wanted to play for one of those teams she should have switched a year or more ago.

Look at the 29's being all helpful and stuff.... True, but they will make space for game changers all the way up to the summer before recruiting.

For 99.9999% of the kids this is correct.

Capital orange 27s and 28s do not have the same caliber of player. It is all a trickle down effect. You can’t use past recruiting success with a different level of player. Players can’t rely on a club’s name alone to get them recruited.


1st year HS summer (summer after freshman year) rankings
2025 Blue ranked 10th
2026 blue ranked 11th
2027 Blue ranked 15th
2028 Blue Ranked 21st

2nd year HS summer (summer after sophomore year) rankings
2025 Blue 4th
2026 Blue 7th
2027 Blue 21st

Teams ranked 4th and 7th in their recruiting summer are going to get much different looks than a team ranked 21st. And subsequently the girls will get different offers. Hence the argument for the downward trend of capital, but you can keep arguing based on the past.

So if we are aiming for high-academic D1 would you believe MDDC is the better play purely for being seen by coaches? I’m just concerned about what’s going to happen with the team and if it will blow up because of girls going to capital. No one is saying anything.

I think the 2029 Blue team will end being more like the 25/26 classes than the 27/28 classes. With similar caliber of players and the same recruiting machine they will have much success!

I don't think M&D DC could possibly be better for high academics. Even M&D Black is not putting many players at high academics. For 2026, I see a Yale as the only Ivy. No Dukes. No Northwesterns. I suppose each of us has a different definition of high academic, but that does not seem to be their thing. So I don't see how M&D DC is going to figure that out on their own on the fly.

Is that why tryouts are only one day?

Will the roster be like AS/AA ( no particular region) where injured girls make the team?

Question to all: is this poster for real? Do you believe Cap knows who they want before tryouts and it’s just a money maker for them?

Wish someone had insight into MDDC; at least they appear objective.

What are you basing that on? Are you a college lacrosse recruit analyst, or part of a rating service?
