[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]M&D DC lost maybe their best player to significant injury just before the playoffs. They still beat SkyWalkers then lost to HG in semis. Not saying they are super team or that they will all stay but they are really good, no doubt. [/quote]

So when the best player goes to a different team .... what happens to the girls who stayed at M&D DC? [/quote]Is that what happened to Capital the last couple of years?[/quote]

They seem to be doing well based on their record. Maybe they get more reps too?[/quote]Apologies, I guess my question was unclear.  The last 2 years of Capital teams, the '27s and '28s.  Has it been a key injury to their top player, or has that player(s) gone to a different team, causing both teams to drop like a stone in the rankings and now be playing in third tier brackets?  Please keep it anonymous, if you can.  [/quote]

Injuries to top players hurt them, but more so the equal playing time. If they played the top 12 with a few extra middies rotating in, the records would be much better. Capital would rather see the whole team get recruited to decent schools rather than the top third to top schools. Quantity over quality. Great if you're at the bottom, not as much if towards the top.[/quote]

If you’re at the top you’re gonna go high regardless given the exposure of the Capital brand. [/quote]In the years where the team is a top 5, 10 or even 15 team, yes.[/quote]

Cap 27s have a number of injuries that have impacted performance. 28s are an off year across the board (lots of discussion about this) and the talent disparity among top 25 teams isn’t as defining as past classes. Cap’s first year teams don’t have the same chemistry as other teams but always improve in year 2, which will happen this year
for the 28s. They will be in the recruiting pipeline mix for the same schools as past Cap classes. [/quote]That's a whole lot of excuses to use up on one post.  
All teams have injuries plural.  A result of all the play they're doing.
Capital had a 7th ranked Pride team to pick off and supplement with a decent Stars team.  They've managed to get worse with every re-rank in the fall, now dropping into the 20's.  That's... not good?  Top 25 is sure a convenient cutoff here, don't think I've ever heard that one before.  But as you've evaluated 100's of teams and thousands of players the last several years, what will continue to happen is they wkll be relegated to third or worse brackets unless they get going.

There were also up to a dozen? Cap candidates that said nah from the DMV area and landed on top teams in Maryland.  7th ranked feeder team, others and a dozen other girls.  Seems like there were plenty in that class, they're either just not on Capital for reasons or have regressed under Cap if they are.

They (and the 27s) will now have to battle on outer fields, probably need to find an offense, to have even a shot at moving up next year and having the recruiting pipeline even know who they are.  And for the 27's it's probably too late.  Unlike your proclamation that they always improve in year 2, they continue to drop like a stone.  
 
So no.  The 28s won't be in the same pipeline as top 5 and 10+ teams unless things turn around.  And quickly.

Top 25 is how all D1 leagues are ranked, lacrosse and beyond. But we should use the one you dreamed up in that big melon of yours lol[/quote]I've heard top 20, top 10, etc regarding tiering these club teams.  Never 25 before.  And there isn't a poll here.  This is actual stats and results.  Just be prepared to modify it soon.  Melon.  Your childish insults are fumny.  And instructive.[/quote]

Well you’re new to this sport if you’ve never heard of top 25 lax rankings. There’s IWLCA’s weekly top 25 in-season D1 rankings. Inside Lacrosse has it. There’s also a league called NCAA D1 college football which has the AP Top 25, not sure of you’ve heard of it? You’re the only one I’ve ever heard say club lax relevance stops at 20. What brings me more joy is knowing you’ve been checking this thread every 30 minutes since my PP to see if I’ve responded to you while I’ve been outside enjoying this wonderful weather! Loving it!![/quote]Lord, I'm so glad I'm not your neighbor.
On here.  The only place Capital is discussed other than BOC.  
Never nowhere has it been top 25.
The only bringing in a false equivalency is you. D1 football or lacrosse rankings are not similar in any respect, and again in context... it's a new one on this site.
Watched the quarters.  Break, now have 1/3 of the honeydo left.  Try not to ruin anyone's great day out there with your dou***ness.
But great distraction.[/quote]

“Never nowhere” … ooof. If there was a top 25 list of grammar mistakes, you’d make it.

Keep arguing club lax doesn’t follow a ranking system EVERY other sport on the planet follows. It’s workin’ for you.

Can you please go back to writing five-paragraph responses? Easier to ignore you this way. Thanks![/quote]
