It’s not just coaching skill anymore so say what you will about Speaks but he understands the assignment.

sounds like the guy has zero life

if he’s recruiting so hard, why does he only have 8 freshman playing lacrosse this year? Has he decided to just recruit upperclassman transfers? That’s mostly what episcopal does and top lax boarding schools.

the cat is out of the bag with SJC and Speaks. He over-recruits and has a reputation for recruiting right over kids and making false promises to players / parents. In his defense, he is running SJC and its recruiting efforts borderline like a D3 program.

Catholic families are more inclined to still look at GZ, GP and even GC now.

These teams played top 20 players for 3 quarters?

I agree with this. Speaks over-played the 21 and 22 results and made too many promises to too many families. It's been mentioned before but there will be a number of 27's and then 28's who won't see the field until senior season. Then there's the problem of college. I don't see but a handful of players over the last 4 years who have gone on to a college where they couldn't get into on their own. That's fine, but that's not the promise he makes when he talks to families. He specifically says he can get your son into a school the same as GP or Gonzaga.

He works hard, but no harder than your average lawyer, doctor, or owner of a business. He does what all successful people do and most of them manage to have a life.

Exactly. And I know that Yorktown, McLean, Langley, and the other good publics are hoping that the 2027s and 2028s riding the bench will wise up and go back to their local school. It’s a long way to drive for a mediocre school where you have to pay and don’t get to play.

kids pick their college. Get over yourself.

Many have turned down ivys if that’s what you are referring to. Rather have full rides than 350k in loans.

And yes.
Several have full rides and NIL deals.

sorry lax kids are making very little with NIL deals.

Only dummies keep talking about what they don’t know.

Big Tasty has a full ride but no one else. Other than Spallina, NIL in lacrosse is very, very small and the colleges on SJC's matriculation list aren't exactly big players in the lacrosse NIL world.
The thinking of giving up Ivy or IE to go to somewhere else to avoid loans is just backwards and shows either SJC doesn't have a very good college counseling office or the reality that it's just not a great school. Couple with those with Speaks not really pushing for his guys all that hard.
An Ivy(E) will more than pay back the debt by means of higher earnings over the first 5 -8 years out of school.
