[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MDU not blowing up, lost 1 player right now, I’d expect 2-3 more gone at end of summer but I expect them to pick up a few too.

I think the one that left already joined a local team.[/quote]

Don't think mdu can replace the players leaving with equivalent talent.  But if they can keep down to just a couple players leaving, they should be alright.[/quote]

There’s nowhere to get anywhere near the equivalent talent for the girls they’re losing. They had a hell of a run keeping those top girls together for so long. [/quote]

I’ve seen this at club level and HS level, sometimes adding or losing talent doesn’t translate to more success or more goals. As example, HG not going to score X more goals per game adding a great goal scorer, the production will just come from less other people.

Others will step up in the absence of others, same with injuries hitting a team [/quote]

Club and high school are different enough that I’ll focus on club, where rosters can stay relatively stable for years. In that setting, the impact of each additional strong player depends on how much talent a club team already has. Adding top players to an already excellent club team usually yields only modest gains because their skills overlap with existing players. Losing those same players, however, can cause a much sharper decline for the team they leave, because each one represented a meaningful share of its overall ability and leaves gaps that are harder to replace. If there is no clear path to replacing that talent, other players often decide to leave as well. Once the collapse begins, it rarely stops, and there are few or no recent examples of a strong MS team losing its best players and still competing at a similar level in HS.[/quote]

I have an older daughter as well and I recall this playing out with Coppermine when she was in MS.  Up through 8th grade they were one of the top teams, and then lost a bunch of top players before high school.  They actually did a decent job backfilling with good players, including a very good player from NJ who will probably be a T100. Anyway, they are now ranked 40.[/quote]

Best player from that 28 Coppermine team went to HG. Sounds like history is repeating itself, rough for the girls further down on the depth chart.[/quote]

Best two players really, and it didn’t help HG.

My DD plays for HG. Agree wholeheartedly. But now our girls have a higher level of anxiety and learning about this new player by way of email left a bitter taste in all of our mouths.

Guess you should be going to other tryouts then. [/quote]

My DD is fine and she/we have no worries. Note that my prior message said “our girls,”not “my daughter.” But thanks though.[/quote]
