| Brennan is for Brennan. She won’t care about the girls on the team. |

With that thinking she will forever be at DJO since the girls keep coming in and going out always a new group of girls that she’s not going to let down |

| Agree that Brennan does not have any care about girls on team. She has no investment in any of them and just wants to win and DJO will not be the place where that happens. |

| Let’s talk league play. DJO will be 0-4 against the top 4 again this year. They will probably split with Holy Child and St Mary’s Ryken. They should continue to beat up on McNamara but Elizabeth Seton played them closer last year than any other year so they could lose that game. Brennan will lose any chance of getting to SJC or a better gig if she stays another year and they are 3-5 or even 2-6 in league play. |

| DJO doesn’t get anywhere near the top talent. Jenny Levy couldn’t make that squad a winner. At least not in the WCAC. |

| It’s all about who you can draw to your school and it takes a few years at least to establish. Coach Finn needed 1-2 more years but they fired him because one of the parents did not like him and went to the AD. They had no succession plan and now Coach Brennan is there and needs at least 3 more years to make anything work but she will not invest that time when she is not getting support of the AD or school. This program will never be above average until they are willing to stick with someone and give them resources to compete. Guarantee that Coach Brennan will be gone by the end of this Season if not sooner. |

| Was Brennan able to recruit any of the girls from her 2028 top 10 team to come play for her? That would be telling. |

They went to Potomac, Visi, SJC, NCS (12 total to those 4 schools) and other private and public schools, for reasons beyond lacrosse. They all would have been happy to play for her in HS. |

As a backup plan? Zero is not a good number of recruits, whatever the excuse. |

Excuse? Very different types of schools. These families aren't picking high school for lacrosse alone. |

Recruiters, recruit. If you can’t get one single kid on your travel team into your school now, how are you going to compete when you are going against the top recruiters? Recruiting isn’t saying, come here, it’s a good school - we do good.
You have to create more value than your competitors. Otherwise, you’ll just keep coming in 2nd. |

You clearly have a bone to pick. The notion that you are going to convince a high academic kid, who is already grooved for top of ISL or WCAC lacrosse school, to switch to DJO—no matter how great the coach, their relationships with players/families, or the story may be—is beyond far-fetched. Give it a rest. Add in geography, and that’s just way too steep a hill. |

Do I? Or are you super focused on her success? I only have an uncommitted boy left. My girls are fine. But what do you have? |

A clue. |

| DJO looks run down to me. Go visit the rolling hills of Visi or some of the other schools and it’s not even close. I would think it would be very difficult to recruit there. |
