Some strange decisions for sure

Also received a blue offer. Real head scratcher is an understatement. Know most of these players and something seems off.

Everyone has focused on club affiliation to make predictions on Blue make-up. However, HS affiliation may be playing a key role and leading to some of the head scratcher decisions. Look at who is coaching the Blue team, and you could easily see a big number of Saints girls selected. JB also seems to be throwing her weight around a bit with an increasing number of NCS girls selected. Would not be surprised to see some upcoming 29 Blue changes based on High School affiliation as well.

Unless it is Heros, M&D or Skywalkers ....you should take the Orange spot. Additionally, I read somewhere that people would lean to M&D Red over Capital Orange. Our 2026 Orange team beat M&D Red and had a better recruiting outcome so not sure it is worth the drive. Just something to consider.

I thought game results didn't matter, I'm confused. Additionally, could you post the recruiting outcomes, because I read somewhere that M&D Red's were stronger. Thanks.

I agree game results do not matter but an earlier post eluded to M&D Red being a no brainer over Capital Orange so I wanted to point out that Capital Orange is right there with M&D Red and has indeed beat them. Like I said earlier....just something to consider when deciding to make the drive. Oh and here are the recruiting results. Again easily found all over the website.
