Isn’t this entire discussion about who has influence and who does not? Influence is influence which is what everyone is looking for.

Connection to the school doesn't mean much when you don't have the players to back it up. Schools aren't going to do Capital any favors if the players are not up to par.


Fair Point. If your kid is trying to play for a top 10 school, then absolutely they need to be elite athletes and players. Very few Capital players are playing at UNC, BC, Northwestern, etc. However, as you go through the process and get past the top 10, it's not as much about lacrosse skills as one might think. High School, GPA, Club team, nice/intelligent kid, family or club connections, wealth, etc. all play a factor. If the kid can't catch, it's a non starter, but you'd be surprised how many just "OK" kids get courted by some very good universities/lacrosse programs.


Don’t see any Hero’s players on the rosters of UNC, BC or Northwestern. No M&D players at Northwestern (Capital has one). M&D has two at BC (Capital has one) and three at UNC (two without nepotism influence). Capital has one at UNC. MD once dominated the top teams but look at any of the rosters of the power house programs and the fact is that NY and Mass make up the vast majority of the juggernauts today.


M&D places girls at better lacrosse schools than Capital. You could argue Capital places girls at better academic schools. Hero's is hit or miss depending on class.


Heroes is so hit or miss right?

PP stated “very few Capital players are playing at UNC, BC, Northwestern”. Rosters show Capital has three at these schools. M&D has four (not counting nepotism influence). Hero’s has none.

Nobody on that Next Level team is good enough to play for one of those teams mentioned.

Next Level girls doesn’t exist anymore…if you are referring to the 29 M&D DC team you must not have seen the roster.


Isn’t it just NL plus a few former Pride girls?

They’ve got the 2029 solid players. For now.


Are you referring to the ones who just beat the Capital 28 orange group?

Truth. And the star players are not learning how to play with other too players which will hurt them.
