Did M&D DC or Stars pickup any players?

M&D DC picked up players from BLC Blue, Stars, and Pride. They also beat Pride last season in the NGLL- don’t think it’s out of reach that they are better than Pride at least

Yep. Things are changing and a certain high school club program knows it, too.

That’s not true. Best players will end up at CLC. CLC will be best club team for this age group in DC.

You don't predict the future. They don't even have a team. From what I can gather, CLC should just worry about their '28s right now. Having to go with athletes because the top talent went north to the next beltway means they need to be coached up. And quickly, fall is around the corner.

Re: the 2028s, are you talking about players who left their MoCo teams summer 2023 or earlier?

Clearly a lot of 2030’s already headed north. Did the 2029’s have the same thing occur?

I’m aware of 3. Not aware of any more.

CLC will be the best 2030 team in high school. I’ll be happy to reup this post in 2-3 years.

If you mean better than YJMA and MND DC in high school then I think that’s prob correct but they won’t be near the northern teams.

I think I agree all teams will be too thin competing with each other for talent and with some of best girls on those top teams already.

It will likely work the same as every other class. Capital will consolidate the remaining local talent and it will take some time for the new team to gel. But eventually they will be “near” the top teams of M&D Black, Hero’s, and Skywalkers. High school is all about recruiting and the good players will set their sights on these teams with the strongest recruiting history because there will be little appetite for risk taking considering the stakes. This has been the formula for success, but I suppose trying some experimental alternative could potentiality work?

With M&D and YJ building a presence at this age it might not work the same for CLC on the 2030s, particularly if they don’t pull the top players from those teams together.

MnD DC is building a strong 2029 team. We will get to see next summer if CLC can still pull the top talent in the DMV.

A lot of 2030 eyes and ears will be monitoring what happens with the MnD DC 29's. If they can keep their top girls then why not repeat the cycle for the 2030's. Will the SR coach try to pull any of her 2030's spread across YJ DMV and BLC? Was she involved with adding Prides 29's top girls this summer?

Assuming the 2029s do indeed sign up for guinea pig duty, which is unlikely, the 2030s would still need to see how recruiting for the 2029s goes. At that point they will be sophomores in high school just about to enter the most important year of their lacrosse lives! What do they do if the 2029s crash and burn? Just to get picked up by Capital fall of sophomore year? This is all crazy talk. Nobody seems to have thought it through.

Lol, you guys are really non-stop. Love the guinea pig references, by the way. Both teams are not done yet, but in just 3 months well on their way. With big chunks of Pride, and then BLC, Stars and Pride for the 30s. The 30s obviously have more work to do, and improvement this fall will be crucial to have this be more than a one year blip of outperforming CLC, setting up for more 30's transfers next summer.

The '29s will improve with their adds. BLC's top '29s are good players and adding just a
couple next year might be the difference between top 5 and top 10 for the recruiting years.

No idea what CLC's going to do with the '29s with what's available from Pride and Stars. Maybe just try to keep as many BLC as possible?

It's crazy to think the top M&D team will be in DC in a few years. I'm so excited!

No one's saying that. There's not enough talent in DC for that. Ironically, that's why Capital's model has worked in the past to poach from all over. Given the board desperation, one can surmise the '28 defections to bolster Baltimore has got them on edge to prevent a longer term slide.

This is probably accurate. The future is likely CLC and MnD competing for top DC area HS talent.

Yep. Things are changing and a certain high school club program knows it, too.

That’s not true. Best players will end up at CLC. CLC will be best club team for this age group in DC.

You don't predict the future. They don't even have a team. From what I can gather, CLC should just worry about their '28s right now. Having to go with athletes because the top talent went north to the next beltway means they need to be coached up. And quickly, fall is around the corner.

Re: the 2028s, are you talking about players who left their MoCo teams summer 2023 or earlier?

Clearly a lot of 2030’s already headed north. Did the 2029’s have the same thing occur?

I’m aware of 3. Not aware of any more.

CLC will be the best 2030 team in high school. I’ll be happy to reup this post in 2-3 years.

I don't think there is enough talent in the DMV to pull that off.

M&D DC picked up players from BLC Blue, Stars, and Pride. They also beat Pride last season in the NGLL- don’t think it’s out of reach that they are better than Pride at least

If you mean better than YJMA and MND DC in high school then I think that’s prob correct but they won’t be near the northern teams.

I think I agree all teams will be too thin competing with each other for talent and with some of best girls on those top teams already.

It will likely work the same as every other class. Capital will consolidate the remaining local talent and it will take some time for the new team to gel. But eventually they will be “near” the top teams of M&D Black, Hero’s, and Skywalkers. High school is all about recruiting and the good players will set their sights on these teams with the strongest recruiting history because there will be little appetite for risk taking considering the stakes. This has been the formula for success, but I suppose trying some experimental alternative could potentiality work?

With M&D and YJ building a presence at this age it might not work the same for CLC on the 2030s, particularly if they don’t pull the top players from those teams together.

But why would the top players choose upstart M&D DC or YJMA over recruiting juggernaut Capital? What’s the cost/benefit analysis here? I only see downside risk.

Sure, Capital may have the strongest recruiting within 100 miles, but there’s a 5% chance M&D DC or YJMA will be as good or better. That’s a no brainer.

Agreed. It is a massive leap of faith to stay on M&D DC over going to the most established program in the area for recruiting. I know if my daughter were on of the top 7 on the ‘29 team we’d be going to Capital for sure.

You guys are going to get pretty tired if you're starting this up this early. Half+ the Pride starters just went over. That group doesn't do that with one year left for no reason. They have arguably the top recruiter in the area heading it up now. Do you want me to say after Cap so you don't get snippy?

Capital's more urgent worry is hoping the '28s with all the Baltimore defections can still keep themselves competitive so this doesn't turn into a 2 year disaster before the talented '30s show up.

There have been no recent defections to Baltimore - the only defections at ‘28 happened about 4 years ago. Capital will be very strong at ‘28 as it consolidated the top talent from Pride, Stars and NL. Pride finished ranked 7th so with the additional strong players added there is no reason to believe this team will not go even higher. The ‘29s at MnD DC will be the first test case. I know it will be a tough decision for the stronger players on that team. Capital’s recruiting success is undeniable - I know what I’d be doing.

False. Many 28s left just two years ago or before last season. I don’t think all the talented players made cap blue for 28. That cap blue team will have a good amount of growing pains. And most likely changes to the roster within the next year

I had a daughter on the ‘28 team and is not at all true that “many” left two years ago or before last season (to Baltimore clubs). One left after this season to MDU because she moved and one left the year before to Hero’s. The rest of those quality players, wisely, went to Capital.

What '28 team are you referring too here? Sounds like you may not know much. Whether you like it or not, a lot of top 28s in the area are all playing on Baltimore teams now

The top 28s in the area ALL live in an around Baltimore, so this makes sense.

MnD DC is building a strong 2029 team. We will get to see next summer if CLC can still pull the top talent in the DMV.

A lot of 2030 eyes and ears will be monitoring what happens with the MnD DC 29's. If they can keep their top girls then why not repeat the cycle for the 2030's. Will the SR coach try to pull any of her 2030's spread across YJ DMV and BLC? Was she involved with adding Prides 29's top girls this summer?
