Where I'd rank the COACHING of the top 5 2028 national teams:

1. Nation's Best
2. Nationals
3. Team 91 Natl
4. BBL National
5 NXT Gold (if you can call it a national team) or TX Nationals

Best roster TALENT of 2028 national teams I've seen play in person.
1. Tie - Nation's Best, 91 National
3. Mad Dog National
4. Red Hots National
5. Hard to judge between Nationals, Madlax Nat, WCS, TX Natls..

You're underrating Red Hots. They beat Nations Best head to head this fall and would likely crush Mad Dog based on the MD performance in Orlando.

And how is Eighteen not on your list?

What tourneys has 91 National or NXT Gold competed in? I don't recall either of them making any noise. I have no doubt if you supplement Venom with the best 91 kids from around the country the team could beat anyone . . . but my understanding is that the Venom kids don't play on 91 National for the most part.

BBL "National" is not a real national team. They only draw from NJ - not deep enough to compete with RH, NB, and Team Eighteen. I'd put Madlax National in the same category.

Hard to include WCS in these discussions as many of their top players play for Red Hots and Eighteen. Not sure how many TX Nationals are on these other teams.

1. Red Hots
2. Nations Best
3. Eighteen
4. Sweetlax
5. JM3
6. Mad Dog

Faux "National" Teams
1. TX Nationals (if they truly are just from the Dallas area)
2. BBL
3. MadLax

Not in the same league with the teams above - 91 National, Nationals, NXT, or any other national team
