[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the M&D DC team has a strong NGLL and summer season, they would be smart to stick together and ride the M&D name. Jumping to capital will guarantee that the team gets dismantled as some girls from stars and pride make it with the SSSA connections and the team gets weaker as result. M&D DC has something that the pride and stars girls never had going in to high school that would be worth the risk of staying. The recruiting track record is much less of a selling point when you are talking about staying with M&D vis the girls fishing staying with Pride or Stars.

I hear you, but would the M&D organization even want a satellite team that rivals its flagship M&D Black?  They have spent years building that brand and it sits on the Mount Rushmore of club lacrosse.  M&D Black losing to M&D DC is not a good look for the flagship, so if I were running M&D I might consider moving just enough players from DC to Black to make sure it does not happen consistently.  That could be done this spring if the matter is urgent, or kept as an option should it become a pervasive issue next couple of years.  Paradoxically, great success is the probably the worst thing that could happen to M&D DC because it would all but guarantee their destruction.[/quote]

They want all of their teams to be successful. In their ideal world the top bracket at a tournament has M&D black, M&D Orlando and M&D DC. In high school wins and losses don’t matter. More teams of their brand in the top brackets is good business for them. An M&D vs M&D championship in a tournament is a win win situation regardless of the final score[/quote]
