[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pride’s college committ list for ‘24s is pathetic. Leaving your DD on Pride for HD is about the dumbest move you can make. [/quote]

Yeah, I’m not going to lie, I know many of the girls in that team, and they should Jane already committed by now. I don’t understand why because my daughter is not with that program, but they should definitely have more girls than this committed already [/quote]

They definitely should. The reason why really started with the 2023 Pride class. That class was strong and ranked as high as 8th at one time. I say this only to demonstrate the level of talent on that team. That group lost its Recruiting Director at the start of their freshman year. She was great and IMO had she stayed the recruiting experience and outcome for that class of players would have been much different.

What happened was Pride hired a replacement Recruiting Director that looked good on paper but never engaged with the players or parents. It set a bad tone and the end result was many players who should have committed early in September found themselves with no direction or interest at the time. It wasn’t unusual for college coaches to say they were not even familiar with the club. This class should have been Prides springboard, instead it was ignored and not provided any direction to get through the recruiting process. Add to this Pride had no recruiting history to fall back on or former players to lean on for guidance. And the teams coach had little to no interest in helping and didn’t know how to best showcase the players.

So, an absent Recruiting Director, a director who didn’t act quick enough to move on from the replacement RD, few college connections, no recruiting history, no former committed players to lean on, and a coach that just didn’t seem to care put these players in a bad spot. Thankfully many on their own were able to land at solid college programs. To your point, their journey was way too long though.

Things have changed a little for the more recent Pride classes. Whereas the 2023 class was able to keep most of their players together it sounds like many in the last few classes have left for Capital. This will certainly impact the recruiting numbers for Pride.[/quote]
