Coppermine bought Elite. Elite's 2023 top team was like the Crush 2028 team- an outlier. Coppermine needs to work on recruiting and promoting its HS teams if recruiting is going to improve. Their 2025 Black team was top 10 in US Club Lax in middle school- not so much anymore. Most of those kids went to NEMS, Skywalkers and M&D over the last few years. Even on their social media, there is very little promotion of their HS age teams.
Hiring J Brown will help. Shocked M&D didn’t try harder to keep him to take over for SR in a couple years. Very short-sighted.
