Remember the value of a recruiting directors is offers outside the top 25. Girls with top 25 talent recruit themselves. Let's see how many Cap Orange girls get D1 offers before any judgements are made.

Well, considering the Capital Orange team has 3 compared to Prides 4 so far, I would say pretty good so far

That's great. My point is that is the real value of a recruiting director. the UA150 / All American games girls don't really need that much help, its the next level where recruiting directors make a difference.

This is statement is inaccurate. Yes, more talented players will garner more attention. But this does not explain the extreme difference in the recruiting experience the Pride 2023s had versus Capital Blue. Both teams had very strong players. The Pride 2023 team, like Capital Blue, had multiple players participate in events like UA150 and AS. However, their recruiting experience was dramatically different and longer. Each landed at top schools, but had they been a part of the Capital recruiting process they would have committed much sooner. The difference was the club reputation, club executive director, recruiting director, and coaches. Pride players got little to no support from these individuals.

Precisely why everyone tries out for Capital.

No the Cap 22 class was just a mess from day one and they never fixed it by removing girls from blue team.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Pride and recruiting. The new director has energy but little experience in recruiting. Pride's 25 class will be the first one to truly see if the new director and Pride have figured out the recruiting game. But the Pride 25 Black team is nowhere close to CLC B 25 so based on talent alone the recruiting results next year will probably be lopsided as well.

Well, considering most of the top players from Pride leave to go to CLC, it's easier for CLC to get players recruited since they are the better players.

Agreed. Pride has to re-stock the cabinet so to speak every summer between 8th and 9th grade.

I swear I am not trying to be a jerk with this statement, but the last couple of years people have been saying this about Pride. It’s very odd. But I do hope they find some success

So far 5 Cap O 2024 have D 1 offers. More than 1/2 the Cap O team want high academic D3 by choice. All Cap Blue will go D1, 3 are left to commit and all have offers.

Can we be a little more specific when referring to D1. This label is used so loosely now when the reality is there is a big drop off in talent outside of the top 30-40 teams. What schools are you referring to?

There’s a deeper bench of top talent at the top 40 teams for sure. But there are many exceptional players at D1 schools that are ranked 40+. Just fewer of them on one team. There are also a number of higher academics on the 40+ range that players prioritize over higher-ranked D1 programs. All D1s signify a major time commitment on the part of the player (90 ranked programs are grinding just as hard as the top 20s). D1s should be viewed separately given this commitment and the talent coaches recruit to play at the highest level.

To be fair, most of those girls would be going Ivy or High D1 regardless of where they played club in high school.

That is not true. Have you walked around an Ivymlately? Virtually impossible without being super exceptional or POC

[Anonymous]

Agreed as that is not a true statement that players will go high D1 or Ivy. There’s a difference in reality and fantasy. You can speculate all you want where players will end up playing but until it actually happens. It’s pure speculation. That’s like saying Alabama football will win the national championship this year, but look what happened last night.

Agree. I am not sure the poster is making a general statement or if this is related specifically to the class of 2023. Either way it is not accurate. In general this is like saying you could have your DD play for a club like Virginia One and still go Ivy or high D1. It’s possible but not likely. You would not get the same exposure playing in the top tournaments, in the top brackets, against the best players. You would not have the reputation of a club who’s very foundation was built around being the only elite high school option in VA and you would not have access to a club director, recruiting director or coaches with close ties to college coaches. Think about the advantages of this environment compared to those clubs with little to no history or opportunity to showcase against the best teams. Again, it’s possible all of this is not needed, but the likelihood of going Ivy or high D1 is greatly diminished w/o it.

If you are talking specially about the 2023s you would have to believe half of the Capital 2023 Blue team would have been able to achieve the same outcome w/o being on the Blue team or playing for another club. Remember Pride players generally make up almost half of the Capital Blue teams. The 2023 class is the lone exception where Pride players opted to stay together. Had they tried out for Capital there was a good possibility close to half of the girls who made the Capital Blue 2023 team would have played elsewhere. Do you think they would have had the same outcome w/o being on Capital Blue or leveraging the Capital name, history, reputation or coaches? It’s possible but not likely.
