Not PP but I think it just comes down to the fact that in the 2028 year talent is more spread out. There has been a lot of parity between top 5 teams. Each team has a few really stand out players and then a lot of very good players. With that many competitive teams, there's a lot more room for players who range from good to very good on low A and B teams to keep shifting up.

In the 2027 year, many of the best players have converged in 2 (maybe 3) teams, so you have these super teams that are hard to consistently beat, and then there's everyone else. Even NEMS which PP said is unusually strong at 2027 just lost top 3 players to M&D. That hasn't happened at this year so far.[/quote]




And, Ideally that doesn't happen. 6 top teams in high school competing against each other will draw the same college coach recruiting crowd as 3 super teams and It will grow the game and keep the competition level high. Some of those Lower A players that had room to move up this year will develop with the access to playing against and with better competition. There hopefully won't be the need for people to jump ship if their team and club continue to improve. That is how the game grows.
