Pride A plays tough, close games with Capital B and are in the same brackets. Players are about even there. So looks like Pride A is full of B level players by your description.
This totally depends on the year. Some years, sure - but will that happen for the 27s? Will they keep their best players who didn’t go to Capital?
24s, 25s, and 26s are the current sample size. 24s at Pride were closer to Capital Blue over Orange at first, but Orange (59) is currently ranked higher than Pride Black (65) while Capital Blue is top 20 at 17. 25s and 26s have clearly showed that they are just about equal. You are guessing what will happen with the 27s which is not as valid as using actual stats from the most recent teams.

After what KM and the Head Coach did re: recruiting to the 2023 class, which was Pride’s most talented team, parents from each following year have been spooked and the best players have left for Capital.

That team is not staying together (and no effort was made to keep it together).
With the exception of maybe 6-7 players, the players from Pride 27 Red team are all leaving for other clubs (and most of those 6-7 players staying are not original Pride Nova Red players - they were added to the team this spring by Katie when the Pride Loudoun Red team disbanded in the aftermath of Katie’s falling out with the former owner of Cavs).
I am sure the club will put together a strong 2027 HS team but it will be an almost entirely new roster.
This is what I have heard as well…..

That’s so not true. Capital B has better connections and better recruiting staff.

To go where???? Pride? Please look at 26…. Take Orange!!!
Pride is a good option after Capital Blue. New recruiting director is engaged and involved. I suspect that there will be less turnover at Pride for the 27s than the 26s given high number of BLC kids who made Blue. Pride will be a the second best 27 squad in DMV if they keep them together. But either way the Orange team will be fine...you sound desperate. Desperation is unbecoming.
Not desperate…. Just trying to be helpful. Orange will fill with quality players either way.

Blue = 11 BLC and 5 Pride and 5 Stars and 1 VA Metro and 1 Next Level - that is a big roster if true?!
Orange = 4 Pride and 5 or 6 Stars and 3 Next Level and some BLC who may or may not be coming?
24 is pretty standard roster size for Capital
