[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fair points made in these comments. Historically Pride has been a primary feeder into Capital. Capital has relied heavily on the talent Pride develops through MS to quickly field competitive HS teams. This has been going on for years, but it seems more recently Pride players are making up a bigger percentage of Capital teams. Pride is clearly developing the talent, Capital is doing a great job of taking this talent and positioning it for college recruiting. Capital has the history, college coach connections, former college players to leverage, and importantly a well-thought out process to get the talent Pride is developing recruited. Both clubs are really helping each other by playing needed roles. What is funny is the Capital parents who come on this board to bash Pride are really biting the hand that feeds Capital. Capital is not developing the talent overnight, this talent is developed over years. Capital is playing the last mile of a long race and does a great job at it. Both clubs need each other, but if Pride ever makes recruiting a priority things may get interesting. Seems like both clubs are happy with the roles they play though.[/quote]

Pride had 1 player on Capital 23 Blue and that team was highly competitive and had great recruiting results.

To say Capital “relies” on Pride players, or their development, is an overstatement.

Capital offers a ton of development for HS players who have come up through the ranks of various DMV programs. Great development led by former D1 coaches, All American players, Team USA players, D1 national championship winners, and Tewaraton finalists.

Would Capital teams be better with Pride players? Maybe. But not dependent.

Capital succeeds for the reasons you note and will always have great / talented players turn out for the program from MoCo, VA and DC. Those players pick Capital over other programs because of the proven recruiting track record.

FTR there were plenty of Pride parents and others on these boards claiming the Pride 23s were going to ruin Capital. That didn’t happen.

To suggest there’s only been Pride bashing by Capital parents here is a selective view of history.
