They only new additions are 3 True players, a kid who was cut from NL and a kid from the DC Ex B team. They lost 9 pretty key players. They also have 2-3 national kids listed who will only play with them sporadically. Needs to do some more recruiting.

MadLax is in a great place. Fully loaded Capital and DMV rosters with 23 players each. They have the new student goalie, the double holdback, a new pipeline from True, and the fly-ins are starting to come, and only going to increase into HS. The competition in the 2028 class is not much. DCE is unproven, Next Level is underperforming, VLC has folded, True Chesapeake has folded too. MadLax is gonna win so much the kids are gonna get tired of winning!

I am guessing your kid plays on Madlax or your from Madlax...

you guess wrong, I would never put my kid anywhere near MadLax. I have two sons who are both is on good (but not great) teams with coaches who are great role models and kids who get along and have played together for years. But I was making the point that everyone is saying MadLax is toast and they overlook the fact that Cabell has been doing this for many years and will always gets plenty of kids, especially in 8th grade and above when the pool to draw from is national. it is a crappy program in so many ways but very successful ($$) in others.
Your take is actually dead wrong. Madlax teams peak in 3-4th grade. As the kids approach puberty, they quickly grow tired of the incessant nonsense from CM. They go to NL, DCE, etc. Madlax literally does not have a top 25 team above 6th grade at the moment. And they were all top 5 when they were younger.
