Meaning Gussie isn't promising that SSSAS girls will make capital?

Uh, if they are not making it, who is? Future does not exactly look bright.

Didn’t this already happen? Meaning how many 28s are KJ girls?

5 sssas girls out of 49 play on either 28 capital team.

Shocking! This level of favoritism is insane. I've heard the same placement preference about the STARs teams.

It's still the best option in the DMV. Where else are you going to go?

This is true for now. Will be interesting to see what happens with the ‘29 class.

What is Battlefield?

Honest question: what is Battlefield? A VA club?

A public high school in Prince William County Known for not being able to win the big one but always talking like they have….

They have already lost a bunch of girls and barely have a bench. Their top middie is reportedly already gone.

Should fit in well with what I hear are a couple reinforcements coming from the south.

Whether they’re winning or not, no one in their right mind would leave a club with established recruiting infrastructure like Capital for one with none, and a declining team to boot.

The fact that you might believe "the established infrastructure" is what gets girls recruited to top schools is hilarious. College coaches have their livelihood on the line. The last thing they're doing is just taking club coaches' word for anything other than an initial look and background. They bring in who they want the most and can get.

I doubt though that you actually believe that, but just want others to.

Well there’s a reason Capital consistently gets coaches 40 deep year after year at their tourney games, including the 27s who are ranked above #20, and why the club has sent a crazy number of players to ivies and other top programs. Coaches obviously like what the club is doing, which is why they keep coming back and continue to recruit Cap players. That fact can’t be ignored. Capital is exceptional at marketing players which plays a huge role in their recruiting success.

That's because they've had some of the very best players, which allowed for some of the beat teams, silly. Girls lacrosse isn't different than every other sport on the planet. The 27s haven't been recruited by anyone yet, that's an odd example. You sound like you're unhinged or joking.

Your bias is showing

By saying successful college programs recruit the best players they can and not the ones that are marketed the best by paid club programs? What bias is that, exactly? The anti-kool aid drinking bias? You can't possibly believe the best college coaches have been successful by mailing in the 7 or 8 players they can bring in every year and just hope and trust that several high school club directors get back to them with some good ideas?

You're not serious, right?

You have all the answers to go ahead and put your kid’s future in the hands of a no-name team with no recruiting history and no recruiting director and no relationships. Good plan. Much has been written about how this hurt the Pride 23s. Just ignore it. By your logic there wouldn’t be any need for multi-billion dollar industries: lobbyists, lawyers, realtors, sports agents, sales forces - just make your case and everyone will see your greatness!!!! Great players will naturally stand out in a sea of thousands of other kids!!! Coaches will “find you”!!! Great strategy. Have fun.

So all the other SSSAS girls are at STARS?

What on the Lord's green earth are you talking about? You started this out saying no one in their right mind would go to Coppermine because "Capital" and "recruiting infrastructure". Coppermine is not a no name team. They are ranked 11 and play top 5 and top 10 teams every weekend. Capital plays 3rd (or 4th?) bracket games against teams in the 20s and as high as 40 because they are ranked much lower, meaning performing much lower. They also must get plenty of play time with their "short bench".

Coaches are seeing plenty of Coppermine every single weekend and against top competition. If you're making plays, it's going to work out. You saying emails from club directors is a better option than that and players would be out of their mind to think otherwise is what's crazytown. Lobbyists. You're a hoot.

I think for the time being that Capital is still the best option in DC but there is a sense that it is on the decline. I don’t think either the ‘27 or ‘28s are ranked in the top 20 and there is real interest in the ‘29 class in M&D DC. Time will tell.

You're putting too much stock in rankings and Coppermine is situated where it is because of their past performance, not current. Doubt Capital is "performing much lower" and I think would think a game between the two would be pretty close. There is so much parity among the top even 20 team, especially at the 2028 year, I honestly don't think Capital is even playing bad. This thread just likes to stir up drama.

Also, coaches are not seeing plenty of anyone every single weekend and the "short bench" means good players look exhausted by game #2 of the day which will not be great once coaches ARE watching.

Does Capital B give equal playing time to every girl? Back in the day they would have the committed girls play but they would wear a band to signify they’re already committed, is that still true?

Thanks Capital cheerleader. The 27 and 28 teams are still not good and play weak competition. You should learn to deal with disappointment
