Sorry, hidden-motive “28 parent”: It’s only September 15 and Cap has 4 commits to T25 schools — two to UVA, coveted by many VA-based players — while others weigh options. Two ivies to boot. Even if recruiting stopped right now (it won’t) DMVers will want to be part of that pipeline. |
Agree. Some kids do prefer D3 and they are choosing the school. Not just the lax team. the point about recruiting being slow. It is much slower than last year. yes the immediate commits are to Ivies. Those are always going to be first. If you have a kid who is not ivy league bound it will be very important to watch when the commits happen and where they go. |
Yeah, hence the “few exceptions” part, but most kids want to go D1. Do you not agree? Sure, some are legacy kids who are going to Tufts regardless, but that is an exception. |
A lot of them start out wanting to go D1 but when they don't get the school they want if they truly want to plan in college they reevaluate and start looking D3. |
Agree; plenty more commits coming for the Capital 2027s. Offers under consideration. Visits being taken. Etc. Doubt that was a 2028 Cap parent too. |
D3 is attractive if you want to go pre-med, engineering, lawyer etc. Most D1 players can’t pursue those majors due to time constraints. A lot of business and communication majors. |
Exactly what I said: “they end up there after Yale passes.” |
Shhhhhhh just, just be quiet….. You have any data to back this up or you just going in feels? If you aren’t sharing a commitment or congratulating a commitment. Please keep this super insightful commentary to yourself. |
And some of them don't want the "full-time job" commitment of D1. It is definitely a grind. I think as they get older and start to understand more about college they hear about study abroad or other opportunities that they can't pursue if they are D1. |
Is this a 2027 commitment announcement? |
Middlebury can honestly beat well over 25% - maybe more of D1 schools |
Ha! Not on my part but I think that's where this is headed. |
Capital Blue to Duke (Potomac).
Congrats! Nice work!! |
Wow! That's awesome. Potomac has a pipeline to Durham. Congrats! |
That's 3 years straight with a Duke commit for Cap Blue AND Potomac. Impressive. |
