[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I thought this was re: Stars 27 since it was a YJ 27. Stars 28 different situation totally [/quote]

Don’t worry about Stars ‘27 too much. Likely that several Pride ‘27 will switch next year making Stars ‘27 a top team too. Pride has proven to be such a poor Avenue to playing in college.

I thought most Pride kids head to Capital? Pride 27 is a legitimate top-10 national team. [/quote]

They will eventually head to Capital. This year 3 of the top 26 Pride players jumped to Stars and thus that team has now become a top 5 team. The question is will some of the 27 Pride girls jump to Stars a year early in anticipation of joining Capital?[/quote]

Short answer -- no.   I can't see more than 2 stars 27 players making Capital.   A goalie and a low attacker.

Remember the 27 Capital tryouts will be the most competitive ever since [b]you will have a dozen BLC girls who will likely made the team.[/b]   This leave 10 spots for Pride, Stars and girls from any other club.

The biggest question for the 27 class is, "where do the top NoVa girls who are still D1 prospects but don't make Capital Blue go?"

You are dreaming if you believe this will happen for BLC to the eventual ‘27 Capital Blue team. No way half the Blue team comes from BLC. Just not going to happen.  Pride or Stars earning that many roster spots?  Sure, possible, if they continue to develop over next 2 years and prove themselves.

But don’t forget, these are 7th graders. A lot can happen between now and 9th grade. Lots of good elementary aged players get overtaken in summer before 9th by new athletic players or just their peers who grow bigger stronger and faster.  Physical development is a huge factor for girls in 8th and 9th.  So is commitment and lots of 8th and 9th grade girls start to put other things before lacrosse.  Predicting a dozen BLC 7th graders will make Capital in 2 years is laughable.
