[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capital’s day of reckoning is coming soon.  [/quote]

In a way, Capital is like the Kamala Harris of 2028 lacrosse teams.  November is going to be rough.  Have a great day everyone![/quote] They said the same thing about the 2026/2025 teams! Haha! [/quote]. September was not very rough for the 2026 or 2025 Capital and I would say November will be a breeze....... I imagine the same traejctory for 2027/2028 once recruiting is in full swing.[/quote]

Let me put my glasses on for this.  Are you implying the 2028 teams are as good as the 2025 teams? I need a new prescription.[/quote]

Not the PP but this topic has run its course on this page (like many others).  Here is the recap:

A lot of people think the 2028 Capital team is terrible despite being comprised of a large majority of Pride players who ended last season ranked #7 which is higher than any Pride team ever ranked prior to the mass exodus to Capital that occurs in 9th grade.

People that have been following Capital for a while (and follow the 2025, 2026, etc) say this happens every year when girls merge to a new team to start high school and each year the Capital teams get better which culminates in excellent recruiting success (which is hard to argue).

Time will tell if this 2028 group follows the same trajectory but I guess there will be 200 more pages of the same argument until recruiting time comes[/quote]

Good summary.  Covered ad nauseam for 20 plus pages earlier in the thread.  From that argument, I believe the weight of the data and historical track record favor those who think this 2028 Capital class will be just fine.

One factual note: former Pride Red players make up half the Capital Blue roster, versus a "large majority", but that half of the roster represents a majority of the former Pride roster (they finished their run with 18 or 19 players).

Some additional layers to the argument, which I, too, hope we don't have to replay for pages and pages, are worth acknowledging.  Some of the 2028 naysayers suggest that: (1) the fact that BLC and NL 2028s weren't competitive through middle school (even though they had some good players) means that the overall pool in the DC area wasn't as strong as past years, despite the relative success of Pride, and the decent ranking for Stars; and (2) too many top players (former NL, Pride, and Stars) left for Baltimore teams, also impacting the chances for the Capital 2028s.

As PP noted, we shall see.  Would make rational sense to give them through the summer season before drawing a conclusion.  But I'm sure the loud, negative voices will continue to post snark, sometimes in all caps.  Best of luck to all the teams.[/quote]
