Good for these girls! Just another example of how girls know that when you get to high school you move to a team with a recruiting history!

Girls left because the 3 middies never came off the field and all plays were run through them never utilizing their attackers (so under utilized attackers went to M&D and Skywalkers). 3 defenders left and went to M&D because for 2 of them they used to be middies and were pushed to defense (and will play middie at M&D). Once all the departures happened and no reinforcements showed up at tryouts one of the middies jumped shipped to Heros so she could be on the #1 team in the country (when she had previously declined the offer) after she had previously jumped ship to be on Coppermine when they were #1

I don't know why those girls left but I doubt it was because of "recruiting history".

You don't think girls went to M&D or Hero's to get recruited?

I would say things are going pretty well with those commitments. No way a mediocre skilled player with poor grades is getting into any of the schools these players are committed to on Cap Blue so far...

The roster caps are definitely an issue for some.

The reality is, if you're not on Capital Blue, offers will be few and far between. You can get offers to some schools that don't have the name recognition, but nothing close to a Duke or Michigan. Even the back half of the Capital Blue roster will not go to top tier lax schools. They will get funneled to higher academic schools. It's highly competitive out there so set expectations.

This will largely be the case for the '26s. But for '28s, '29s and beyond, it's looking like it'll stack up quite differently.

Good luck to all the girls.

I think Capital will still be getting the too academic schools at least at ‘28 and ‘29 if that is what you want for your daughter.

What colleges have roster cap issues that will affect?

Hero’s has probably the best lacrosse program in the country in terms of on field success at the moment. The recruiting history tells another tale though in terms of attracting the top academic schools consistently. M&D has a better history but will be interesting to see how ‘27- ‘29 play out. I agree with the PP that Capital is the place to get recruited for top academics.

The girls getting recruited into schools with top academics are not because they are on Capital. They would get recruited there even if they played for M&D or Heros.

Most of these girls committing to Ivy League schools are above average lacrosse players, achieve top grades at private schools, and most likely come from families with high net worths. It's a nice combination to have.

Hearing the Cap '27s and '28s don't have the same academic profile. It'll be interesting to see whether W lax can get Cap the spots at top academics without it.

How could you possibly know the academic profiles of the Capital players? Did you assess this also while watching practice from the slanted roof?

I hope the M&D DC ‘29s are paying attention to the Capital recruits at ‘26.

And this is the typical Capital player profile.

Yes, the typical Capital player that never sees the field in college.

I can tell you they paid attention to the '25s, and what that high ranked team wasn't able to do. So maybe. Aren't there still like 15-17 uncommitted Cap Blue and how is Cap Orange doing?

You didn't mention feeder Pride Red? Oh, that's right, all their top players just came over to M&D DC. In 8th grade.

That’s more of a commentary on the state of Pride and its change in ownership. Believe me, M&D DC is not and likely never will be M&D MD (read M&D Black).
