[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are Pride A teams better than Capital Orange? [/quote]

This really depends on the year. Generally, yes. As others have posted on this forum the one exception where Pride was equal in talent on the field to Capital Blue was their 2023 team. That Pride team chose to stay together. But this was unusual.

Both Capital Blue and Pride Black played in the top brackets of tournaments that year and both had extremely high strength of schedules - top 5. The difference in those two teams was Pride had no clue how the recruiting scene worked and their players paid a steep price as a result.

Go to whatever team your DD can make that will play in the top brackets, plays a tough SoS, and the club has had proven recruiting success. If playing at a high level in college is the end goal.[/quote]

Pride 23 routinely lost to Cap 23 so not quite accurate to say they were equal in talent. [/quote]

These two teams only met once as Capital vs Pride that I’m aware of. It was a close game. The players who went on to make up these teams played a few times prior as Pride and Stars. Pride won those games. When 3 of the Pride 2023 players earn Player of the Year Awards this year and many were recognized as All Met I’d say they were a talented group.[/quote]

Cap Blue 23 beat Pride 23 Black twice during their club careers. Cap beat them by three in ‘21 and by five in ‘22. Cap has even rotations. Pride played never took their starters off the field. [/quote]

So Pride didn't make one substitution the whole game? Not even one?  Thats bananas.  They really must have wanted to beat Capital.[/quote]

Not unusual for Pride and many other DMV programs to keep their starters on the field. Those programs generally have a talent curve and weight playing time toward the starters to give them a better chance of staying in games and getting their starters recruited. Capital attracts better overall talent and therefore has 
more depth and can use even rotations to be competitive and commit more players to D1 programs. This is proven by the fact Cap Blue has more All Mets and more All Americans than Pride. [/quote]
