M&D, Hero's, and SW have a really strong recruiting pipeline and track record. MDU has a good history as well. As for Coppermine, it is nonexistence and has NO history. College coaches barely know the program. As for the 2028 team even if it they stay together and get stronger and a few girls get recruited to top D1 schools. It will do nothing for the overall program. Coppermine will just be Coppermine at the end of the day. There is no new genesis.
Does this talking point ever get old? The game is growing every year and there's room for a lot more clubs to be at the top of the recruiting scene as more and more talent develops and is spread out across more than 3 clubs.
Agreed- it just depends on when parents and girls decide to not leave their current very good team for the allure of the big three (and their history of recruiting) which is hard to deny if you are a top player.
Crush is the obvious outlier with their 2028 team being their strongest by far and not even having a high school program (until maybe this year?) I think it will be hard to keep those girls together with that type of uncertainty but I hope they all stay.
SW has a top recruiting reputation and even though the younger teams are not as strong, until their recruiting stops being top notch girls are still going to go there for high school.
Coppermine is a definite up and coming club and their 2028's are leading the way. The club just needs to get them in the top tournaments/brackets and convince the girls if they remain intact college coaches will be watching them no matter what field they are playing on.
MDU has been around longer and has a solid recruiting reputation. The 2028 team is the club's strongest and club has to hope that they can hold it together for the next few years.
