Well the thread is 2026 so I’m sure we are talking about the same year. DCE 2026 will be very different than BLC 2026. |
2026 wouldn’t be wearing DCE helmets. So maybe the poster is talking about 2025 |
| quite a few 25 DCE boys re-classing to 26 |
Weak and sad to hear. |
my bad BLC helments... |
Fake news |
thats good to hear its fake |
| I don’t know if the DCE reclasses are fake news or not, but here is some real news. The team will not be set until after Labor Day, and even then it is not set in stone. Whatever you saw at tryouts this weekend does not necessarily correlate to the actual team. So hold the commentary on what is strong or weak until you know the actual roster. |
They’re not going to make any offers until September? Other teams certainly will. Which means DCE will get the kids with no other option. |

Question based on summer rosters now moving into the Fall:
How many kids left BLC for MadLax? How many kids left Next Level for MadLax? How many kids left Next Level for DCX? How many left VLC for MadLax? How many left VLC for DCX? How many left MadLax for DCX? How many left MadLax for NL? How many left MadLax for VLC? I've heard a lot of rumors but can't confirm any of it and this info would help |
| No, I did not mean that offers will not go out until September. They will go out soon, and many players will accept. But the best players will take their time and compare options. As just one example of options they will compare, look at the title of this thread. Parents of the top players know that the 48 hour time to accept does not apply to them; if a superstar player wanted to wait and accept in September, the team would of course take him then. And the process of shopping around works in both directions - the DCE coach will be recruiting plenty of players, holdbacks or not, who were not at tryouts from now to September. That is what I meant when I said the roster will not be final until after Labor Day. |
Doesn't DCX inherit BLC kids? Why does the HC need to recruit versus developing internally? |
| Get on the DCE train now—just look at the 21 and 22 commits. That should tell you all you need to know. |
Lot's of holes in that argument: For instance, how many of those kids are actually local to DC area or are more than 30mi away? How many are private school kids? How many actually pay to play at DCX? How will the DCX fallout with HQ and NLF affect the future teams? With that logic you could say look at the MadLax 2018 team, or the Next level 2019s, or the VLC 2020 team since each team has over 10+ D1 guys. A better question would be to ask how will there 23 and 24s do?.... |
