[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ultimately 2028 Blue will be what it will be - a mid-top 10/15 team with mediocre coaches that will keep them in the range that they belong but not push the top tier. It will be fine to get them all recruited, but it is not the ultra-talented 2025 class. It is what it is DC parents. Just accept it and enjoy the ride. [/quote]

Capital 2025 ended #4 (not #1) so there were better teams out there. Pride is currently #8 - with the majority of Cap Blue 28 likely to be Pride, and select additions from Stars LB, no reason to think Capital 28 Blue won’t be in the ballpark. [/quote]

Everyone is assuming all of Pride just moves on to Capital. What if some of those players stay at Pride or look to other clubs?

The Capital 25 class is much more talented than the 28 class, parents need to see that.[/quote]

With all respect, how do you know?  What objective, fixed barometer of talent are you using, with perfect recall, to compare the 2025s as rising 9th graders to the 2028s.

I have seen about 3/4ths of the 2025 class play--not as a unit--but through their high school teams and they really are an outstanding group.  No question.  The recruiting results and play as team support that.  And high school juniors/rising seniors certainly look and play differently than 8th graders/rising 9th.

That said, if you aren't using a comparative ranking, assuming that overall, comparing against other good clubs nationally is a sensible approach, how are you confidently stating that one class is "much more talented".  Eye test?  Remembering roughly what the 2025s looked like a few years ago, assuming you have been around the DC-area clubs for this time (older daughter?)?  If so, those approaches are pretty subjective.

In my view, while the 2028s might not have a big group of 5'8"+ girls who all look the part (see eg Eagle Stix or Hero's), from what I've seen, they have some awesome athletes, stick skills, toughness on D, and creativity and finishing capability around the goal.  Who knows how they will develop?

As for your "parents need to see that" instruction, honestly, I don't, and I'm not sure how anyone could yet.  Let's check back around this time in 2027 and we will know.[/quote]
