[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There appear to be similarities between some of the recent anti-Cap posts and discussions on the 2029 forum from previous months. At that time, some M&D DC 2029 parents and supporters expressed concerns about players moving to Capital and raised criticisms of Capital. One argument focused on the Cap Blue 2027 and 2028 teams' rankings in the 20s, suggesting this would negatively impact recruiting and the program’s future. That effort to keep the M&D DC 2029 team together failed miserably, but they became pretty invested in the narrative, which has brought us all the way to this thread and now.

Some recent comments in this thread have revealed an elementary understanding of the recruiting process combined with strange comments about an outsized role in the recruiting process played by the SR head coach, leading me to think the loudest of the anti-Cap parents/supporters in this thread are the same M&D DC 2029 group from the 2029 thread. Anyway, the recently flurry of Capital commitments coming out has taken the wind out of their sails and they are tucking tail.  Stay tuned for the next chapter in the 2028 forum over the next year.

The anti-Capital rhetoric precedes the 2029s. If you need evidence, just scroll through the 900 pages of the 2028 thread. There are people who don't like the club for a range of reasons. There are also people who think the club is good, but find it agitating when Capital crusaders insist on saying girls get recruited BECAUSE of the name. The reality is, the club has connections and a lot of experience with recruiting, so they're one of many good clubs to play for. But Capital or not, a 5 star recruit is going to get recruited to UVA (BTW congratulations) because they are that good. Etc.

The true test of whether Capital works miracles is whether they get the WHOLE team recruited to schools beyond what might be projected based on abilities. The first wave of girls tells you very little. If in a few months you can line the list of recruits up next to past teams who were much higher performing and there's marginal difference in the caliber of schools - then you've proven your point. But in the meantime, can we just celebrate the commitments?[/quote]

It seems the anti Cap 27 recruiting narrative is changing since the first Capital commitments have been announced. Prior to 9/1 people were saying the 27s would have horrible results due to their #21 ranking. Now posters such as yourself are saying that the only measure of the 27’s success is if  their recruiting is on par with prior teams that were ranked top five. I think any ‘30 DMV family considering a move to Capital next year would see the early 27 results as validation that the club puts its players on a very big platform to get recruited. Even with a #21 ranking, Capital has three players at top 25 programs and to two ivies - I’d think that alone would be enough for them to realize the club isn’t on a crash course (a narrative many pushed) and would be eager to try and make the team next year.

We will still go after the 28s, which are ranked even lower than the 27s and will definitely have horrible recruiting results.  [/quote]

I’m really enjoying watching you pull your hair out seeing Capital 27’s recruiting results come in. [/quote]
