That doesn't really make much sense considering his younger brother is still at Prep and plays on the varsity lacrosse team also.

There are no lacrosse players at PVI getting money simply because they are good lacrosse players. That is a FACT (pun intended) and the coach has no pull with people who could impact this.

Financial Aid is need-based at most schools, not merit money.

At most schools. Not the WCAC.

sounds like GP has some very entitled and delusional parents on their hands if they really try to oust the current head coach.

The only issue SJC may encounter is over-recruiting and players/families becoming upset due to lack of playing time.

How could you have any idea of what they give unless you happen to be in admissions and financial aid at SJC as well as all the other schools.

I know of two families at SJC who looked at a few rival schools, including where our son is currently at.

When SJC offers scholarships that are $20K more in aid than what Georgetown Prep or Gonzaga might offer to the same family, it's hard to compete.

This is all anecdotal, maybe SJC just identified those players as higher priority than the other schools. I know of players at Gonzaga, multiple at Georgetown Prep, and Landon that all chose those schools over SJC at least in part because of better financial packages being awarded to them at those schools.

Crazy Prep can’t win with all those boys and a pipeline from Mater Dei. Should have never gotten rid of Giblin. Winner.

Giblin resigned. GP immediately accepted.

It’s not anecdotal.

Gib resigned...yes...and the incident at "Caddies" kind of helped. I was not sure who to root for on this one as he and Phillips both are annoying people.

Phillips was an annoying coach....much like Gib. Loved it when my club team pounded Danny's Next Level team into dust in the Tilden Fall League years ago and he lost his mind screaming at his team they were losing to public school kids and then I beat him with his full SJC team at a tourney in VA with 12 players from our club that did not feel like making the trip to DE for Hotbeds. Shook his hand after the game and told him I was an SJC lacrosse alum...he looked stunned and asked why I was coaching where I was. I said, well, its where I live my friend.

That’s awesome. Hope you’re still coaching. Sounds like you got it.

Whats everyones thoughts on Lake Braddock out of Burke Va? They have 3 D1 commits in the 2023 class.

[Anonymous]

That's great to hear they have some kids who have committed to D1 programs but do they have any depth?

Very good team with talented players.
