[quote=Anonymous]Okay. Mean-spirited attacks on '27 and '28 teams and Capital as a club, are not worth replying to at length. More interesting things to discuss.

Here are the facts of the situation:

--Capital Blue has been the dominant club in the DC are for ranking, quality of play, and recruiting for years;

--The Capital Blue '25 (top ranking #1; finished at #2) and '26 teams (currently ranked #7) were very successful on the field, and in their recruiting cycles top to bottom, with placements at UNC and other top college programs;

--The '27 and '28 teams are not playing as well and are ranked in the low 20s.

--The question for the '27s is whether the recruiting will remain as, or nearly as, strong this year.  We will know the answer in about 3 months.

--The questions for the '28s are whether: (1) they can gel as a team and continue to improve, and/or (2) augment the current roster through tryouts--in order to improve their ranking and positioning for recruiting.

--The question for the top DC-area '29s and their families, who won't know the answers to the questions above when they make their call, is whether to trust the Capital brand, or to look at other options--staying together at M&D DC, or, for the few who can make it, trying out for Baltimore teams like a number of top '28s did.

We are weeks away from seeing how the '29s answered the question; weeks away for the '28s' key questions; and months away for the '27s.  The next phase of Capital's evolution as a club hangs in the balance, and we will get a good look at the strength of the recruiting machine, reputation, and past performance.

Get your popcorn.  Interesting times.  I'm sure the post mortem will be gentle in any case. [/quote]
