[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not assume that Capital is "locked down" now, and only available to the BLC pipeline.  For one, there certainly aren't 44 Capital-caliber players for each grade level in the BLC system.

I could see a good but not great player at BLC, who has been in the Academy and spending money, getting a nod over a non-Academy player of equal athleticism and skill who attends tryouts.  That might affect the bottom half of the Blue roster and a portion of the Orange roster.

I would offer that for the top 10-12 Blue players, Capital is going to pick the best talent that shows up at tryouts. That's how they compete with the top clubs, sustain their reputation, recruiting success, etc.  No way they are going to accept and outsource a BLC tryout process at the 6th grade level or earlier as dispositive for a Capital high school team.  Capital leadership's "confidence" in their ability to identify talent is very high, as uneven as it may be in actuality. I'm guessing they will maintain their lucrative middle school clinic series, which also serves as an opportunity to spot talent, in addition to the Academy.

For filling out the rest of the Orange team, they will also need talent from additional clubs.[/quote]

Why would anyone take an orange position after feeling like they deserved a spot on blue? That would be some difficult emotions to work through for a year.[/quote]

Orange is obsolete after roster caps. Don’t do it. [/quote]

Interesting take. Hadn’t thought of that. Roster cap impacts could be real in college.[/quote]

This is not the case so far.  Most schools were already at or near 38.  Transfer portal is bigger issue, but mostly affects Top 15[/quote]
