Confused, the Bullis Princeton commit is listed by Princeton as a class of 2023 commit. Why would he NOT be coming back to Bullis

I think he is too old to play in the IAC next year.

Regardless if he is eligible or not, I do think Bullis will be the top program in the DC area next spring as Bellistri is the best coach in the area by a mile.

The school has to appeal to the IAC and that aint an easy thing to do. Kid sits out league matches but plays all others.

When will the NHSLS schedules be announced and are the rosters ever made public?

Prep loses their face-off guy, which will have a huge impact on their success. If they can't win 75% of their faceoffs, they will have to improve a lot everywhere else. Are they improving every where else enough to mitigate a 15-25% reduction in possessions?

Landon will be pretty good at the backend. Their goalie and face-off play will be a big question. Who will score goals for them in the midfield? They graduated the big middie and attackman to Dartmouth which opens opportunities. Their little two attackmen scored a lot. What other pieces does Landon have?

Ive heard through the lax rumor mill that Wade is coming back to Bullis as 2023 if Kabari at Prep is coming back and is eligible.

Prep losing their FOGO will hurt them more than most are expecting for next Spring. Their fogo dominated opposing teams for the past 2 seasons, giving Prep the ball nearly 80% of the time.

Landon, offensively should be very solid, 3 kids in their 2024 class were their leading point producers. Defensively, I assume they could really struggle. Losing their goalie and the Ohio State d-man to graduation will open up very big holes.

I mean, if Christmas is going to McDonogh to play with his future Duke teammate, then maybe Wade should go to Prep to play with two of his future Princeton teammates.

If the big rangy LSM from Prep named after a prominent Christian Holiday goes to Mc-D, that will be a very tough loss for them to make up.

^ Is that actually happening? Why transfer senior year?

No, fake news and drama. Wishful thinking by IAC opponents.

I actually don’t think that’s true. While I can’t imagine why he would leave his senior year with his brother and friends at Prep and a good chance to win the IAC next year. If he does, Prep has loads of depth. If you watched the IAC championship, you would have noticed that he didn’t play. Prep was ahead for most of the game and almost beat Bullis. They have several LSM backups, including a five star rising Junior who started and played very well. Would it be a loss? Sure, but not as devastating for them as you suggest.

Most miaa schools don’t take senior transfers. Than again MM may try and make it happen. Win at all cost.

nothing to see here folks... just another delusional post from a Prep homer.

I watched the IAC championship game in person. Lil Hoyas raced out to a 3-0 lead midway through the first. After the first quarter, it was all Bullis.

I noticed a tall / rangy LSM for Prep. 5 star might be a extreme wishful thinking on your part unless maybe your his Dad.

Not a “Prep Homer”. Thought he was a five star, but he just attended. My guess, he will be four or five soon. Disagree that Bullis dominated that game, either team could have won.

Bullis will not be strongest at fogo. STA has a top fogo (UPenn commit) who is far superior to Bullis' rising sophomore.

except STA can't score.

They will maybe come in 5th place next Spring.

hearing several players are transferring out of SJC as a result of the transfers being recruited in... sounds like a messy situation

The IAC?

There is no such independent organization. It’s just a council of ADs for the routine stuff and the school presidents for the important things like membership.
