2027 GIRLS PLAYER COMMITMENTS 🥍🥍🥍

Why do Goalies need an asterisk? What's the significance over a field player?

Take your 28 BS elsewhere

I am a 28 parent and it's horrible. I think all of this is a few Dads who left STARS in a huff in 7th grade or their daughter didn't make Capital. The other parents I have been with on the sidelines for 7+ years seem to be pretty nice and normal.

That’s a stretch sunshine.

At that time, some M&D DC 2029 parents and supporters expressed concerns about players moving to Capital and raised criticisms of Capital. One argument focused on the Cap Blue 2027 and 2028 teams' rankings in the 20s, suggesting this would negatively impact recruiting and the program’s future. That effort to keep the M&D DC 2029 team together failed miserably, but they became pretty invested in the narrative, which has brought us all the way to this thread and now.

Some recent comments in this thread have revealed an elementary understanding of the recruiting process combined with strange comments about an outsized role in the recruiting process played by the SR head coach, leading me to think the loudest of the anti-Cap parents/supporters in this thread are the same M&D DC 2029 group from the 2029 thread. Anyway, the recently flurry of Capital commitments coming out has taken the wind out of their sails and they are tucking tail. Stay tuned for the next chapter in the 2028 forum over the next year.

The anti-Capital rhetoric precedes the 2029s. If you need evidence, just scroll through the 900 pages of the 2028 thread. There are people who don't like the club for a range of reasons. There are also people who think the club is good, but find it agitating when Capital crusaders insist on saying girls get recruited BECAUSE of the name. The reality is, the club has connections and a lot of experience with recruiting, so they're one of many good clubs to play for. But Capital or not, a 5 star recruit is going to get recruited to UVA (BTW congratulations) because they are that good. Etc.

The true test of whether Capital works miracles is whether they get the WHOLE team recruited to schools beyond what might be projected based on abilities. The first wave of girls tells you very little. If in a few months you can line the list of recruits up next to past teams who were much higher performing and there's marginal difference in the caliber of schools - then you've proven your point. But in the meantime, can we just celebrate the commitments?

It seems the anti Cap 27 recruiting narrative is changing since the first Capital commitments have been announced. Prior to 9/1 people were saying the 27s would have horrible results due to their #21 ranking. Now posters such as yourself are saying that the only measure of the 27’s success is if their recruiting is on par with prior teams that were ranked top five. I think any ‘30 DMV family considering a move to Capital next year would see the early 27 results as validation that the club puts its players on a very big platform to get recruited. Even with a #21 ranking, Capital has three players at top 25 programs and to two ivies - I’d think that alone would be enough for them to realize the club isn’t on a crash course (a narrative many pushed) and would be eager to try and make the team next year.

We will still go after the 28s, which are ranked even lower than the 27s and will definitely have horrible recruiting results.

This wins the lowest IQ post of the month, which says a lot considering what’s been written on this forum.

I believe that was sarcasm.

I can think of at least three strong Blue players that are yet to commit… I’m not sure why there is so much hate for this team, but it truly makes me sad. Not for the girls, but the person who is hating. Let it go, buddy let it go.

I don't think its hate for the team I believe it to be hate for the couple of Cap loudmouths shouting as they look down unless your DD is on cap it will be so much harder for you poor people and your DD's. The hate is because that is the attitude the rest of us non cap parents read on here fix that and i bet the hate goes away...

I don’t suppose you’ve thought about how you sound when you say there are three strong Blue players left? Be sure to post when the strong players are committed so we know what to think of the rest of the team.

Oh please. The instigators are the Cap haters. Arrogant MD clubbers thumbed their nose at Capital on DCUM for years and tried to mislead people to think the only place for real lacrosse is to fight 95 and play for a Balto area team. They hate that Capital has been successful. When Capital supporters finally said enough and dared to defend the club, the Md set kicked their campaign into high gear. Since then, DMV parents whose kids left for MD have joined the effort to spike the football and validate that the decision they made was a correct one. Competing club supporters at Pride and MD&DC have thrown mountains of mud at Capital in an unsuccessful attempt to discredit the organization. As long as people here make statements like “we’re going after the Capital 28s,” people like us who are grateful to Capital for what the club has done for our kids will defend the club at every turn.

I think the we’re after the 28s was a 2030 parent who was pointing out that they literally go “after” the 28s for recruiting purposes

I thought the same. What about the other 12-13 girls? Are they not strong?

Nah. Just about every debate starts on Cap's end. If you could corral those folks (including yourself?), you wouldn't have to be all up in arms. Maybe you should call a meeting.

Sure they are all strong, but many of them won't commit right away and make take a few months
