Specifically what do you mean? Covid cost all grad years, and it basically lasted from March to June anyways.
There’s a lot of talent on 2027s, I guess we will have to see that play out at HS level to truly judge.
I've been saying this for a while now as well. Well there are some exceptional players who will be stars, the depth of this class just isn't there. In past years, you could name some pure superstars at the 8th grade level, this year while there are very really good players, there really aren't any who you can say will be game changers as a freshman or even a sophomore in high school.
There are some girls on the bench for M&D and Heros who would have been lucky to make the Red and White teams in past years. SW, Pride, Stars, NEMS, TLC and many others well down against their clubs 25 and 26 teams. Coppermine and BLC are probably the only two clubs who were markedly better than previous years.
How do you measure this when they are playing only in their grad year universe?
Hero's Green 2025 is #11. Hero's Green 2027 is #1.
Aces 2025 is #13 Aces 2027 is #2
Florida Select 2025 is #20 Florida Select 2027 is #6
Jesters 2025 is #22 Jesters 2027 is #8
MD United 2025 is #25 MD United 2027 is #10
Pride 2025 is not even in the top 50.
FLG 2025 is not in top 100
Maybe 2027 as a whole grad year lacks elite talent and depth overall, I would just like to hear some facts/evidence to support it, because the above facts do not support that. Again, as I mentioned, HHH Philly 2025 being ranked #8 and HHH Philly 2027 being ranked #12 doesn't mean 2025 is better either.
Kids who used to play on TLC or NEMS are now on Coppermine, some clubs, that just changes grad year to grad year, doesn't indicate strength or weakness as a whole. Crush 28 is a top 10 team. There isn't a Crush in 2027 at all, that doesn't mean the 2028 class is superior. IT just means those 2027 kids are on different clubs.
