Strategy after Capital Tryouts - 2030?

[Anonymous]

If you don’t make Blue and take an Orange spot, you’re looking at a LOW D1 school or D2/D3. Our friends passed when their daughter was offered an Orange spot because she has good grades and will get into a college she actually wants to go to regardless. Just some food for thought.

Cap orange is not a coveted spot. If you get offered blue, you should take it if no other offers. If you get offered orange, shop around!

Exactly, just head on over to Hero's Green and see if they are looking for any players who got cut from Blue 5 seconds ago. Best of luck!

I think the point is if you don’t make Blue, throttle down expectations considerably. Your daughter is not going from Orange to Duke. It’s crazy where you get put coming out of 8th grade has such an impact on where you’ll eventually end up. If you’re a late bloomer and don’t come on until sophomore/ junior/senior year in high school, you’re pretty much screwed.

So orange offer you can buy time? Is that a fact?

The crazy thing is about three weeks after tryouts, she’ll send a personalized note to the parents of those that didn’t made it saying it was tough but she still wants to help their daughter play in college. Just come on down to Healthy Baller! Every year this happens!

I recognize that the PP is trying to take a jab at GJ for her HB revenues. But you have to give her credit for her "assassin" ways on picking teams. Somebody posted on a different stream, that Capital Blue has only taken 3 Saints girls combined for the 28 and 29 classes. GJ is an alum of SSSAS and tight with KJ. You would have thought she would have taken more given the relationship but is apparently following the talent. You have to give her credit for being objective on the talent evaluation. It will be interesting to see what happens with the 2030 Blue team and whether more Saints girls make it, as BL is likely up to be the next coach in the rotation. Or perhaps there will be a 29 Blue Orange player shift?

Late bloomers end up in the transfer portal early.

Someone also previously posted that she picks some players based on perceived upside. Players that are perceived to have peaked may be at a disadvantage.

That drive without a hot lane will be unbearable.

I still wish they would post the rosters somewhere.
