[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy lax mom checking in and wow Capital’s dominance for DC is crazy. For boys, the higher level commitments are spread out over 3-4 different teams and it’s very rare for a DC area to play for a Baltimore based team anymore. Are there a lot of DC area girls on the top M&D and Hero’s teams or is that rare? [/quote]Generally about 3-4 per year. Capital knows they're dealing with a large group doing it in the 28 class.  Double digits.  That may set up difficulty going forward as there are looking like alternative options not only there but with a challenger in the local area for the 29s.

Two years in a row of not being the only game in town might be a threat to their model, so I'm sure they know coaching up their 28s will be critical, as well as hoping it's a deep enough class with the ones they now are left with to compete at a high level.[/quote]

More 28s moved to MD clubs out of necessity. Better performing DMV 29s will likely bring numbers to traditional levels where more talent will stay local. Can’t envision 29s wanting to bet on an unknown (same reason 28 talent fled Coppermine for more established Hero’s and M&D). Prediction is that Capital 29 tryouts will be as competitive as ever.

What was the necessity?  Parent of a ‘29 and I can’t see why anyone would not stay and tryout for Capital. [/quote]

28s were a down year for DMV talent. Better players fled to MD clubs at younger ages. That 28 class is an anomaly; DMV clubs are strong from 29 on so those players won’t have to make the same decision. A PP is making a case that 28s are a litmus for Capital but I disagree. 27s are doing well (and will do well in recruiting) and by the time the 28s commit, even if Capital doesn’t perform as well as prior years for that particular class, Capital will have already locked up the best from the 29 class. From the 30s forward on good feeder teams, the small DMV lax circle will know 28 is an off year, so my prediction is that parents and players will lean on Capital’s body of work (rather than the recruiting performance specific to the 28s) to base their hs club decisions.
