Is it fair to say the Philly market has enough talent to only support two elite programs per grad year? I’m not real familiar with the 23 and 24 groups. 25’ has Triple H and Team Ten. 26’ is a bit different because of Tigers but Freedom and NXT are in the mix. RR was in the conversation at 26’ but seems to be falling apart as a whole in Phila. Now that the 27 RR team has completely fallen apart and it’s players spread out to a number of different clubs will it make other clubs that much better? Basically is the Philly area too watered down with too many clubs?
I think at most ages, the top players consolidate enough that it is not an issue that we have so many clubs in this area. The '26s like you said are the one obvious age where talent is very spread out. After Tigers, there are a handful of teams that are very equal and all beat each other: NXT, RR, Freedom, Mesa. Pretty much a complete toss up when those clubs play each other. Outside of the Top 10 or so in the country, those teams can hang with anyone but maybe if those 4 combined into 2 teams, they would compete with the 5-10 teams nationally.
