Yet you didn't challenge this poster who provided this deep dive  ...

[quote] You may say I took the bait, but I looked at the rankings data for local clubs 8th grade seasons from 25s-28s.

If you take out the rankings anomaly caused by BLC's historically-strong 2027 team (which had a number of players who now play for Baltimore clubs), and historically weak 2028 team, the rest of the DC-area teams are about on par with the '25, '26, '27 teams in average ranking.

Stars (#38) and Pride (#14) are consistent with historical track records. Next Level's actually better (at #67). If we want to count Renegades' successor, 3D Maryland, who has their highest ranked club yet with the 2028s (#36), that further balances the scales.

The big drop-offs are the local Maryland (MOCO) teams, BLC (#201 down from #7 for the 2027s) and MC Elite (#177), which are ranked much lower than historical averages. This thread has talked at length about how top players that may have traditionally played in MOCO are now playing with Baltimore clubs at the 2028 level, and whether any might consider coming back and trying out for Capital.

So the data does not support the conclusion that the local area 2028s are not as strong as prior years. It does appear, however, that MOCO talent may indeed have moved North for club play.

Proof will be mid season 2024-25 when the Capital '28s have built a track record. [quote]

[quote] Respectfully, you may want to check the data again on the top 20 teams. Please let us know if you have a better source for current and historic rankings than usclublax.com. That said, you were right, I was way off. BLC has averaged a ranking of 103.8, not 60s-80, in their 8th grade year over the 5 teams where we have data.

--For the 2025s, you are right, I was too optimistic. BLC 2025 Blue finished their 8th Grade season ('20-'21) ranked 221st. That's 221, not 21. I misread their US Club Lax "rating" (76) as their "ranking", as I didn't expect them to be that far down.

--BLC 2026 Blue finished their 8th Grade season ('21-'22) ranked 77th.

--The very strong 2027 team was acknowledged in the original post (finished 7th in '22-'23). Some great players in that group.

--2028s are currently ranked 201.

--2029s not even in 8th grade yet, but are currently ranked 20th.

Averaging the ratings--2025 (221); 2026 (77); 2027 (7); 2028 (201); and for fairness 2029 (20)--results in an average of 103.8.

**No data is available on the 2024s for their last year in '19-'20. [quote]

You see the double standard, right ...?  A simple "you make a valid point" would have done just fine. [/quote]

Deep diver--from one to another--you are all good. Fist bump.  Ignore the troll who was happy to have the information, but decided to throw in a smart remark at the same time.[/quote]
