Coppermine is a Low A or High B program. Whether they admit it or not

Are you talking "program" or "team" because BLC doesn't have High School so they are irrelevant to the conversation.

Coppermine as a program is relatively new to the scene, correct? Maybe someone can confirm that. Not sure how you define a High A club vs Low B Club, but at this moment, I think its safe to call Coppermine a Top-5 club in the state of Maryland.

I'd rank them by club (not 2027 team):

1) M&D
2) Hero's
3) Skywalkers
4) MD United
5) Coppermine

This would be based on how the 2023-2032s do as well as their recruiting success in recent history

2030s are now in middle school and will get ranked in November, that will hurt Skywalkers but they still are going to get nice commits from their 2025s and 2026s. That's more important than the middle and elementary school ages.

USLacrosse is ranking the top programs right now 1-50, that will be interesting. Of the 6 grad years ranked (2024-2029), they take the four highest for that program and avg it out to determine ranking. That is going to help SW, MDU and Coppermine as all have outlier low ranked teams.

Coppermine has probably moved into the Top 5 in Maryland, but they still have a long way to go. They have 1 great team and 2 better than average teams at best. The 29 team was weakened. Time will tell how it plays out with the other teams outside the 28 team.
