Duenkel is out man till at least April.

SJC boosters are beyond delusional.

You don’t come that quickly after that type of surgery and even remotely the same caliber of player.

This is not the NFL

Funny how you think you know when you actually dont. No amount of white pants or prayers to your Purple God will help you in May when playoffs start. WCAC Trophy will stay at Military Road. Get your tissues ready.

Speaks will head to college and Mitchell likely take his spot. He’s got Ince and Ward to put in a word for him.

Bellestri is retiring in next year or two.

Will speaks head to college as a head coach of a lesser program or as an asst at a blue chip? He ain’t ready to be top dog at a true powerhouse.

If he opts to go the college ranks I could see him as an assistant coach of an emerging program (Lehigh, Richmond, Vermont).

The blue chip programs (UVA, UMD) generally hire assistant coaches who have been a coordinator from a program on the rise with D1 college coaching experience.

There is some truth to all of this but it runs a bit deeper.

Speaks was prepared to take the Prep job 1.5 yrs ago. Bullis also got in to the Speaks game and told him that JB’s last year would be the 2024 year and offered him the Bullis program once JB was done if he could hold on at SJC.

Bullis made Speaks an offer he could not refuse and will be the Bullis HC after the 2024 spring.

Here is where things get tricky. JB wanted to leave the program to his assistant. When Bullis basically told JB that they had made their decision and it would in fact be Speaks, the Bullis assistant resigned and is no longer on staff (you all can figure out who that is).

That is also the reason Prep would not schedule SJC. They know that the IAC will run through Bullis and Speaks for years to come and do not want to face his teams before they have too.

Now who goes to SJC to replace Speaks. It will in fact not be DM. Look for it to be their OC that left after the 2022 season for a job in NC. My guess is that Ince (current SJC OC) stays as he has a job in the school and Fyock (the goalie coach) rolls with Speaks as he has no reason to stay at SJC since his son graduated last year and does not work in the school.

Should be an interesting 2024!

Speaks never considered GP bc it was never offered. A group of crazy dads felt him out and he turned them down flat and GP backed urick when they found out.

Jb has at least 2 more years with his 25’s.

GP and Landon won’t schedule sjc bc sjc gives athletic scholarships, recruits from current high school aged iac players and won’t agree to play later in the season.

Speaks is actively seeking a top assistant or 10-20 hc job. He absolutely has the resume for both. Sjc already has multiple people interviewing. He is trying to jump now bc this season is not going to look good , close to .500, and then the lustre wears off post tasty and the lax parents realize the school matters.

I'm not sure who your source is but you are making some pretty bold statements.

Why would Speaks leave SJC for Bullis, I'm not seeing the connection. IMO it would be taking step back not to mention SJC has more resources to offer prospective families.

Lets look at some facts about Bullis:

After the 2025 class, Bullis program will decline drastically. Anyone who knows lacrosse in the area knows this. Bellistri can see it and I suspect given he is getting older, could easily step down into a lesser type of coaching position at Bullis (or even coach JV). Regardless, JB has earned his stripes as a HC to tell the Bulls admin when he is ready to hang it up for good.

No doubt about it, The Bullis 2025 class is extremely talented but its because of one particular current father (former board member who helped establish DC Express) who was able to recruit and push/ recruit several prospective players (who happen to play his son's current club team) to Bullis. Several of the Bullis 2025's came to Bullis under the Jerry Boarman regime when Bullis was blatantly extremely "generous" with their financial aide budget and have locked FA packages until they graduate.

The "well" at Bullis is running dry. Don't believe me, just how quickly their football team has declined since Boarman was pushed out and the amount of $$$$ has been reduced. The days of Bullis bringing in 5+ transfers a year and even senior year transfers for football and lax are long gone.

As for SJC, if Speaks were to leave for the college ranks, SJC admin would be foolish not to offer the position to Ince who works full time at the school (assuming Garret does want to be a HC). He is very well connected, a good coach and has connections with local club programs and relationships with several college coaches.

I don’t know if any of the claims are true but I can pretty much guarantee you that none of the IAC schools want Speaks to coach at Bullis.

[Anonymous]

Speaks has already declined offers from both schools. He isn’t leaving SJC. Throwing rumors out there is a recruiting tactic these coaches use to try to catch up in the recruiting game. Unfortunately for Prep, Landon, Bullis and Gonzaga it hasn’t worked.

There is ALOT of hardworking talent at SJC. Spring 2024 will be another trophy season.

Speaks is not going to Bullis and Speaks has not been offered a position at Bullis. Ask Coach Speaks yourself, and he will confirm.

Coach Speaks is entertaining "thoughts" of returning to the college coaching ranks, but only thoughts at this point.

If he’s telling people that he is ‘entertaining thoughts’ about it, that generally means it’s more than just thoughts. He’s likely is putting feelers out there and having conversations. Doesn’t mean he will leave. But you don’t tell anyone you are thinking about it if your aren't serious about it. Otherwise I think you would keep that thought to yourself.

It does explain why Ince would turn down the PVI job. Maybe he knows what the plan is at this point.

You all read way too much into coaching HS lacrosse. The PVI job pays nothing. Unless you live in Loudoun County VA it would not make sense to take this job.
