This.

The recruited athletes are regionally or nationally competitive on their sport’s travel or club or state team. Individual or team. Mainstream or not (squash, fencing, table tennis, speed walking, etc.)

Wash DC isn’t some place with AAAAA big time sports public schools like long beach poly PHS or westlake PHS or highland park PHS. Or privates like Harvard westlake sports programs. They just don’t have total students, athletic budget or top coaching staff to supplant a travel team program’s expertise.

SJC comes closest. Sidwell started recruiting basketball team members around the coaches’ kids. But schools and parents here are academic focused. The athletic minded parents let AAU, ECNL or Team Maryland handle it. And then you might need a more understanding private or public school due to missing Fridays.

LOL!! Stone Ridge? What sport? I don’t think they’re actual recruits. I think a lot of them are likely walk-on’s. You can claim that you are doing a sport but that does not mean recruited. Big difference.

Yeah, walk ons at Boston college and Notre dame and then all the swimmers too. That’s exactly how it works, yeah.

According to the Fall and Spring signing days, Bullis had 13 athletes that signed for college. 10 in Fall and 3 in spring. Not 25% of the class.

Not sure if he was recruited, but Bullis has one of the top 8th grade basketball players in the country, and he’s leaving for PVI next year.

I’ve always thought of Stone Ridge being very strong in lacrosse (nationally ranked), field hockey and swimming. From their website - Princeton, Dartmouth Notre Dame and BC from last year, with a load going to SLACs (W&L, Hamilton, Swarthmore, Colby), year before Notre Dame, Georgetown (2), Dartmouth and, again, load of SLACs (Williams, Tufts, Hamilton, Middlebury). Other recent years - Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Northwestern, Dartmouth). Sports represented, lacrosse, swimming, field hockey, rowing, soccer, basketball, volleyball, sailing, track and field - quite a wide range of sports vs other schools. Pretty decent in my book.

In lax alone, Stone Ridge had 4 2023 commits and 6 2024 commits.

Among the local privates (not the WCAC schools), Bullis probably has the most D1 athletes, then Landon and Prep and I'm sure the number varies from year to year from anything like 3-4 to 10 D1 and then a handful of D3. While schools like Sidwell, St. Albans, NCS, Potomac, and Holton, may have 5 or 6 D3 and 1 to 4 D1. GDS, Maret, Field, Burke, very few college athletes.

Maret is more like the second category you describe, not in same category as Burke LOL. They def send anywhere from 8-12 to college each year out of classes around 80.

Although I suspect this may be moot, I thought OP was talking about recruited 9th graders.

This number seems inflated. Does it include walk ons? Signing with DI schools or getting tipped by D3 schools is very different from wanting to play a sport and playing that sport college.

Are you asking how many are "recruited" into the High School? Or how many are recruited for college?

For some of the "recruited" for college - their primary exposure for college is club. (swimming / lacrosse / soccer)

I looked this up once and it's about a dozen for Sidwell and Potomac, a little less for GDS. STA, Prep, Landon seem to have slightly more usually.

13 at GDS last year

Football and basketball are the sports colleges are most likely to be offering sports because they generate the most revenue.

women's soccer is the most popular for women.
