Curious to see what Dynasty looks like next year. Will Pierce or Cisneros enroll early? Do Mullen & Messer play 17's again if they do? Yes they are enrolling early. Not sure what Mullen and Messer will do.

Pierce, Cisneros, and McAleer are all graduating at semester and heading to college in January. Mullen and Messer will most likely play 17U again next season. (That team will be good.đ) So GJNC next week is the end of the line for this group. Theyâve been damn fun to watch and root for over the last few years. đ˘

So many of these kids have been fun to watch. Club has been a great ride. Couldnât wait for the schedule to get out and now itâs hit that this is our last club tourney. 8 years and weâve hit the end of the line. Crazy. At least weâve got hs season before I need to hop on a plane to see my kid play. Lol

Theyâve been damn fun to watch and root for over the last few years. đ˘ I have only watched the Dynasty 16U team play a couple times. Seems like their best player is (Ella Florez) S/RS that is playing up (2026 class). She would be the absolute worse player to team with Messer/Mullen. I mean - Messer/Mullen will automatically make next year's team very good. But what is Dynasty going to do with Florez if Messer/Mullen stay with the 17's?

How is NKYVC not the number 1 seed for 17Open? They have clearly been the best team the entire season.

NKYVC is one of the top teams. No question. It wouldnât be a shocker if they won. But it also wouldnât be a shocker if a half dozen other teams won. There are several others right there with NKYVC. Dynasty is one of them and makes sense as the #1 seed. Not sure that they can pull off a championship without Cisneros but I expect them to have a great run. So many different teams could win this thing. Thereâs no front runner. But if I was going to throw out a prediction it would be TAV. Anyanwu and Livings have been absolutely unstoppable. But several other teams could be hoisting that trophy at the end. Looking forward to watching it all unfold.

Cisneros is unfortunately out with an injury for the rest of the season.

Cisneros is unfortunately out with an injury for the rest of the season. Such a bummer. Carlie is a special player and has been particularly brilliant at the last two GJNCs. Sheâll be greatly missed, but I expect them to be competitive with Mullen and Pierce taking more swings. They also added Heidi Devers (stud DS/L, Kansas commit) to the back row from their 18s team. That will definitely help offset Carlie, who is so good back there. As for predictions, I agree that TAV is loaded for bear and will be super dangerous. And Iâm a big fan of NKYVC and how well they control the ball. I also like 1st Alliance and could definitely see them going deep. And you can never count out A5 - theyâve made the podium three straight GJNCs. But my darkhorse pick is Colorado Juniors. Seeding them 13th is ludicrous. They were brilliant in winning MEQ going 10-0 against a loaded field, and Iâm a big believer in Izzy Starck. (Sheâs gonna be a star.) Anyway, it should be a super competitive tournament.Â

Anyway, it should be a super competitive tournament. Izzy Starck is the real deal! CO Juniors are definitely ranked too low. And I agree that Triangle could make a run as well. Such a physical presence at the net. They will do well. Excited to see how it all plays out. I wouldâve never predicted Madfrog as champs last year so it really is anyoneâs trophy for the taking.

Madfrog was seeded 28 out of 36 at GJNC last year. So that gives some of the Lone Star region teams hope with H Skyline at 28, HJV at 29 and AJV at 34 out of 36.
