Looks like NXT's last grade based team is 2026

What is the outlook for NXT 2023? Also how will teams like Freedom and HHH fare at this level?

NXT 2023 B/A-
HHH is A
Freedom is AA

If you're looking for someone to say something nice about NXT's 23s, you came to the wrong place.

LOL
no one ever says anything nice on here...

Do they still have a black and silver team? Which team was at Blue Hen?

Yes

Silver was at Blue Hen. I see they went 1 - 2.
Black was at Nightfall. I see they went 2-2.

Both appear to be playing at Harvest Classic

HHH will be the best 2023 next summer.

2022s reclassifying?

Not even sure what to make of the NXT Spring League this year. AA and A with lots of crossover games....

2024 teams playing up in 2023 A divisions.

Where can I see the divisions?

Yeah, a bunch of AA teams getting 2 - 3 games against A teams. One team only has 1 game against an A team with the rest against AA.

As for the 2024 teams, I'm betting the NXT 2024 team can beat a few of those 23 A teams.

Please fine where BL said they had no summer birthdays? Every team has a few...not many have re-classed kids though.

How good is HHH at the '23 level?

Legitimately mediocre. A few really good players, a lot of average players and some lower level players in my estimation.

Your estimator is off, the 2023 HHH team is very good and will have a great summer season playing real teams in the NLF.

Yes, the "real" holdback teams....granted, NLF is great competition, but please put it into perspective

Are they better than BL or Freedom?

Without a doubt, better than both.

BL 23 is definitely not as dominant as it used to be..and Freedom, you never know what team is going to show up, but I heard that the big stud from up north has moved on

Stop. They lost to Mesa last year. Mesa is better than HHH too.

Sure thing, if you call a pre -season scrimmage a real game then yes, Mesa did beat HHH without half of the triple HHH team there. In a real season game, Mesa has no chance. Good luck to Mesa this year, I am hearing all good things about the club.

Beat HHH at young Guns last year too, but Ok we have no chance.

HHH isnt top 3 team..

BL/Freedom/Mesa all are better. Should be interesting this summer rumor is Mesa has several 22's from Haverford that are now 23's.

Mesa, Freedom and BL are your AA's. Hard to rank them as Mesa has changed a bit (reclasses and kids from other programs), Freedom seems to always have a kid or 2 just show up and BL has the historical advantage but I think they no longer have the athletic edge they once had. I don't include BL Academy and Dukes Nationals in this list because they are essentially most of the kids on these AA teams.

HHH, Team 11, Dukes Young Guns are your A's and are all pretty even

Then its all B+ and below.

Put NXT and Sons maybe at the top of this list?

Mesa and HHH are both having spring play days on the same day?

NXT beat Team 11 in spring league today. Spring break fluke or has NXT turned the corner?

I don't think any of these Spring League games can be interpreted as anything. I am sure both teams were missing players and I am sure NXT filled in their missing players with "guests".

Legitimately, after seeing both teams play previously in this year's NXT League, think it was some kind of aberration.

Agree both teams were missing players but I know there were no "guest" players on NXT. They've been having good practices and hopefully they are getting better which is the goal.

It is spring league, there will be upsets and guest players will fill in (especially on the Dukes team), however, the better, deeper teams will still win on most occasions. Team 11 has a few good offensive players that were picked up from RS and if they weren't there that would explain the loss.

Yeah guess Big 5 backfired for Sons....lost the few legit players they had to there partner clubs.

Not one elite player left on RS.... When TS is involved expect to get burned

NXT has not turned the corner

Not based on the game I saw yesterday, no.

The question is how many guest players did Freedom have?

None. Same team that has been playing all year minus a few that couldn't make it yesterday.

Please...Freedom roster was different every game last year

Isn’t it kind of early to start with the lies?

Please, know what you're talking about before spouting off. No guest players this weekend. Same team as they had in the fall.

Ooooooh!! Ooooohhhh! I know this one!! The answer is ZERO.

Hate all you want, but that team had zero guest players and was actually missing multiple players.
