I think trajectories of the three bottom elite teams are all different. KP probably will have the toughest time staying in elite given that other elite teams are fairly close to their market and they don’t have a history of retaining high school talent. They have a couple of very good players at some key positions but are pretty thin overall. Kudos to them for playing and competing at elite. BLC probably has an upwards trajectory. They have some good athletes and as they transition to DC Express in a couple of years the coaching will likely pick up and help them recruit players. I’ve seen them play a couple of different times and they are actually pretty good except they hemorrhage points in transition and probably will need either internal improvement or upgrades with the specialists. I think this team will stay in elite and be competitive in the 8th grade year. True Annapolis is in between. They have some very good talent and the coaching seems solid, but they are very thin. I think it could break either way for them in the future.
