This 110%. Very thin skinned; God forbid you dare to even politely disagree with her.

27 Capital will be different than year's past mainly because BLC has 11-13 girls who would likely make it if they tryout. Very different dynamic than in year's past.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

You have been posting about this supposedly great BLC team for ages. Well the ‘26 Stars and ‘26 Pride teams are incredibly good and ranked nationally. Those girls are far more likely to make Capital than someone from BLC. Any girl that good should have switched programs last year. Capital is not going to take half their blue treat from BLC.

No dog in the fight but I concur that BLC 27 team has more players who could make capital than other years. 2026 has no relation to 2027 and the 27 BLC team is an anomaly compared to older years (don’t know enough about younger years to comment).

The BLC 27 as you say is an anomaly. The rest of their teams are not good and far from competitive.

As for 27 Capital, I'd lock in odds right now that probably no more than 5 girls from the current Stars 27 team make Capital Blue. Not sure where they will all come from but the Stars dynamic is drastically changing.

This. Two big X factors for Capital 27 will be

1) Will the top BLC players try out for Capital? 2 of their top players have sisters at Skywalkers
2) Will any CavLax players tryout? If you include greater virginia, CavLax is the clear #3 team and have 5-7 players who would easily make the team. If parents are willing to drive for Sunday practices, this will make the team even more competitive

Can you clarify who CavLax is? Is that the Cavalier club in Leesburg that just got bought by Pride? Cavalier 27 is winless in NGLL and has lost to both pride and stars, so if that is the same team, I doubt there are 5-7 girls good enough to make capital.

Katie just hired a full time recruiting director I am assuming to try to stem the tidal wave of girls jumping to Capital. Not certain if it will help. That being said she I assume she will have 3 26 teams next year so from a monetary point of view things are good.
