Well, does anyone know if any showed up?

Yes

Be happy those players aren’t showing up as they’d all take spots away from your DD. The average Pride and Stars parents are celebrating this morning.

Other way around bro … be happy the best of Pride isn’t competing for Md teams or you’d be sweating thru your HUK shirts.

Maybe you should look a little closer at the Maryland practice fields over the past month

The 1/3 DBG may be on to something about stats but it’s for the top DMV players landing on MD teams. Worst kept secret.

I can’t make sense of this. Are top DMV players showing up at MD practices or not?

Good luck to the poor soul who has to deal with this group for the next 3 years. I also feel sorry for the recruiting director who will be asked over and over in a few years "why isn't my daughter getting recruited by UNC, Northwestern or BC?"

are you saying this from this thread? if so you are delusional...the internet (especially on an anonymous board) is not real life

I’m also confused on this. If Pride, STJ and YJS contribute players to CLC, it should be a good team.

I guess the outstanding question is whether the Pride girls would leave a highly ranked team.

It’s also likely that BLC, YJMA and others contribute at least a player or two.

I’m late to the convo so maybe I missed this if it’s already been discussed.

I’d like to hire the Pride parent who convinced tournament officials that 2-0-2 is a better record than 3-1-0. With those rhetorical skills, we could argue our way to a National Championship!

This is completely untrue but I love your confidence!

Great example of a post disconnected from reality, probably influenced by other similar posts. I can only speak for one of the local teams, and "entitled, unrealistic and overbearing" is so far from being true it is laughable.

Agree. More nonsense above. Doesn't resemble our team at all. Parents and kids get along.

As for "unrealistic", I have never heard a single comment from a parent on our team with an expectation of playing at a top 10 program. Not even for making Capital. Not one, in 4 years. A few have talked about their DD's hope to "play in college"--which is entirely realistic--but that's about it.

For those of us who just got off a 4 tournament, multi-camp/clinic June schedule, in an extended heat wave, "entitled" doesn't hit the mark either. This is hard work, and even more so for the players.

And agree that Capital's policies and approach prevent the nonsense that apparently people are seeing at other clubs.

MD teams are still playing tournaments. Along with multiple showcases. Just sayin’.

Are you saying the MD teams have continuity as they all will field the same core group in HS, so they have a July schedule, unlike the DC area teams where top players transition to Capital? Or are you saying MD players have a tougher July schedule? The first point is noted, but obvious. The second is not true for folks I know, with the exception of participation in the US Club Lax tournament for the top 16.

MDU, Coppermine, Hero’s are all playing this weekend at the G8 in NJ.

I am as open to broad lacrosse content as anyone who checks into this thread, but not sure of the relevance of this note.
