Here is what you just said: She sends out texts and emails. And calls and bugs coaches on the phone and in person.
It's pretty whack that you think that trumps what coaches see on the field. Is that how you make purchases or decisions that are basically your livelihood and lifestyle? Of course not. But you want people to believe successful college lacrosse coaches are the only group in the world that does.

Ever see beautiful houses in your neighborhood that sit on the market for months on end because they’re listed on Redfin? The service doesn’t do anything to market the property but saves their clients money by just putting the property online. Homebuyers are online - they see the house just like all the others, right? Redfin is a brand name - buyers will just flock to it, right? Wrong: listing agents promote properties to get them in front of buyers. They send home buyers listings and engage with them to see how each one may / may not fit their needs. They are in frequent communication with buyers to see if their needs change over time. They tell them which homes have contracts and are off the board (and those that will go quickly to heighten demand), which inform
listing agent discussions with home sellers. These homes move fast - they don’t languish. I can’t make the argument any simpler than this. If you think Cap’s RD “bugs” coaches she wouldn’t be as successful as she is.

OMG, now they are houses.

Once again for the people in the back. If players are good, coaches will come watch and they may get offers. If they are not good (or your house is not good for simpleton here) vis a vis the last 2 Capital teams, the opposite is true.

So … Best to bet your daughter’s future on a no action strategy where the assumption that coaches will run to her. Yikes … Don’t take my word for it: Every other team that chose to stay together and forfeited the chance to join a more established club has been a recruiting disaster.

No one said there is no action other than your Capital BFFs. They think it's all about hoodwinking college coaches about their daughters, and that Cap's the best at that.
That's not how any of this works.

Well you’ve never done it, so you don’t know how any of it works. I’ve been thru it, my daughter’s committed, and I’ve seen with my own eyes very good players who thought top teams would find them on their own be very disappointed with their recruiting results.

Who do you think the club’s RC will push harder for? DC players will take a back seat and get table scraps.

Check the history of the Pride Black 2023 team if you believe this. Lots of really good players. Limited recruiting success.

Sounds like superwoman! One person handling all that for 6 teams? Impressive

Recruiting generally works on an annual cycle, so only two of the six teams would demand significant attention from the RD at any point. The RD would be mostly focused on the 2027 class for the next 6 months. Most or all of the hard work for the 2026 class if done, and it is too early now for the 2028 class.
