Are you implying that Coppermine has no upside because their 27 team is ranked lower than their other teams? Let's be real here.

Coppermine Middle School teams are hard to figure out. The 28 and 29's are really solid. But their 27 team is really, really bad. Maybe one-offs happen in most programs.

I would say the next 2 years will dictate if the new direction of Coppermine takes hold. But I will say along with M7D and Hero's they have the best chance to become relevant at these 2 particular age groups.
