Did the top DMV players even to go AA tryouts? |

AA, in their wisdom, scheduled tryouts on a day packed with NGLL prep tournaments. They likely would have had a much deeper turnout if more girls had been able to attend. A Friday night for AS wasn't ideal either. |

| Saw a ton of top players at AA not so much at AS |

I take it you mean AA Baltimore, not DC. |

This looks about right |

Yeah pass on AA this year because we didn’t want to impact tournament play |

A majority of the team will try out. It’s possible they try out for other teams as well. Also possible they lose enough players to not have a team next year. Will be interesting to see what happens. |

| Start of Capital 2030 is an event that will likely break some teams. Hopeful that these teams survive. |

Who cares about DC. Every college recruiter knows it’s all about M&D Black and Red. I’m local D1 lacrosse staff, and we are always advised to look there first. |

| Red over other blue bloods like SW Blue, Heros Green, and Capital? Troll! |

Capital Blue is essentially a done deal, driven by the announced BLC partnership and the CAP program. At this point, the decision comes down to whether you remain on your current team or transition to Capital Orange. |

I thought it was already established that M&D doesn't have the same recruiting pull that capital does... |

Looking at earlier posts, it seems like the MS Academy is mostly BLC players with a few players from Stars and one or two from other clubs (YJ, etc.), pretty consistent with how the team has historically been put together. The early tryout date is an interesting wrinkle too, as it likely cuts off any real competition from the Baltimore clubs. If players were weighing options like Hero's, SW, Coppermine, MD United, or M&D, that won't be an option unless they are willing to walk away from their deposit and burn a bridge. Which raises a bigger question worth discussing: is Capital Orange compelling enough to pull players away from their current clubs, and more importantly, what happens to the clubs left behind? Stars and Pride don't appear to have much to offer in terms of college recruiting. Do YJ DMV and M&D DC have enough recruiting pull to hold onto their top players? The main clubs for YJ/M&D have that reputation, but it's not clear how much of that carries over to their local DMV programs. Stars has struggled to field teams past 8th grade, and YJ DMV has a smaller roster to begin with. Without their best players it's hard to see how either stays competitive at the higher levels. Would love to hear from anyone with kids in those programs. Are families already making decisions, and is there any sense of how those clubs are planning to respond? |

| Somebody fill us in what happened with the creation of Capital 2029 teams. Did some teams disband? |

| M&D DC 2029s were a top 15 team nationally. Beat M&D Black. And the majority still went to Capital. |
