DMV are Great kids but there is zero chance they would be able to compete with most of the AAA teams in 2028 aside from Cannons and maybe Sidewinders. And the parents from the elite "Madlax Cap" squad would become apoplectic if someone suggested that their little Brayden should lower his recruiting potential by playing for a whole season with the DMV squad. And ML Cap would eat alive any of the AAA teams including 91 and Team MD. A talent differential does exist "on the whole."

There is the rare occasion where Cabel will ask ML Cap kids to come bolster the DMV roster for a specific tournament (which happens with Hawks, FCA and others as well). But it is not a regular practice.

And yes probably kids on the Cap roster who SHOULD be on the DMV roster and vice versa, for reasons of actual development, playing time, etc. But it's youth lax and it is what it is.

Hawks and FCA virtually never have b team players play up. I can think of one time and it was due to multiple injuries.

Agreed....usually it's in the oppositive direction. I have personally seen:
Hawks bringing in multiple kids from Richmond Hawks (which is basically a AAA team)
ML DMV 2027 bringing "down" kids from ML Cap 2027 (for sure) and "allegedly" (no proof) 2028 Cap
FCA 2028 bringing "down" kids from FCA Blue to FCA White to make sure FCA White didn't tank their AAA tournament

Not insinuating that any of this is bad, illegal, whatever. And none of these roster subs are even 50% as hilarious/illegal as your average True team in a playoff game or tournament.

Agree with the last comment, plus the West Coast Starz B team looks a whole lot like the West Coast Starz A team when they're at the same tourney but not playing at the same time.
