Tucker can connect top schools with the top talent. Coppermine and MDU don’t have that yet and watch as some of the 28 and 29 jump instead of sticking with their current team.
Are you saying top players will leave Coppermine and MDU for other clubs? That isn't the case from what occurred this past summer.
It will happen before high school. you wont see it until your top sneak away for elite clubs.
Keeping thinking its circa 2015. No one is leaving the up and coming clubs and they are becoming the Elite clubs.
They aren't leaving FOR "elite" clubs when they are BECOMING an elite club themselves. There is no reason for them to leave. They will have just as good of a chance at being recruited as those on M&D, Heros, and Skywalkers. Hopefully this post stays around long enough to prove you wrong. The game is expanding outside of Maryland as well. Coaches are finding Athletes all over the country. So your status quo way of getting on M&D as a 2nd grader with the hopes that you will be garunteed a college scholarship is less realistic than those saying coppermine, MDU, or similar club can break into the top.
Coppermine is the one I can see making the biggest strides. They have the facilities, Tucker and coaches seem to be doing a great job developing the players. M&D is going to be in for a rude awakening when they don't get kids to jump after being developed elsewhere. Their philosophy has never been about developing players it was a "build it and they will come" philosophy. If anything the 29 M&D team could be the one with players looking to jump once they realize the other clubs give a similar opportunity with better facilities and coaching.[/quote]
This person who keeps saying M&D doesn’t develop players is hilarious. Their teams are good across all ages… they must be doing a terrible job.
Anyway, the teams that are committed to developing players are not necessarily the teams who are winning every game at the 6th grade level because they do things like distribute playing time and challenge the girls to learn new skills and build IQ, which isn’t always smooth sailing. The teams who only care about the win in 6th grade ought to be far more concerning.
