Post-fall guesses

1. SJC. Way too many commits to think lower
2. Prep. They have a complete team
3. Landon. Gonna miss 70% at fogo
4. Bullis. Thin but talent remains
5. PVI. one last try for the 26’s before collapse
6. GC. Super selfish seniors
7. Gonzaga. Historical respect but a new direction needed
8. STA. good goalie and poles and fo and zero offense.
9. Heights. Such a weak schedule
10. Dematha. The 25’s are gone.
HM Langley has some offense, Yorktown has a 5 star, Urbana has a program. Maybe a public breaks in this year.

So you're saying that everyone besides the top 2 has short term and/or long term weaknesses. Sounds about right.

SJC is in a league of their own this Spring with the number of commits on its roster.

Same team of commits lost to ryken last year. Any team can beat any team. Commits don’t mean nothing.

Wouldn't be the offseason without SJC backers copying and pasting this for the 3rd year in a row.

Sorry but this is a weak take. Basketball was in the finals last year, soccer won finals this year, football was in finals last night. Plenty of families still want to commute to I St. Lax may never be as good as the Oneill years but they are a young team this year and have to replace a strong fogo and goalie

SJC should win it all but otherwise it's a crapshoot for who plays them in the finals. Talent in the DMV is down in general across the board.

Severna Park is better than the Heights and STA

You're gonna try to equate a minority, all scholarship hoops and football team with an all suburb roster like lacrosse? Soccer, really? Gonzaga has a nice team but the WCAC is not a soccer conference evidenced by the Heights being near the top. Then you say they'll never be as good as under O'Neill. Yeah, that's the point. They've dropped because good club players from the suburbs don't want to play for a coach who can't show up to practice until he's done with his day job and then have to commute home from crime ridden dc in the dark. Gonzaga making it to the finals this year will be the equivalent of SMR doing it last year.

Almost certainly, but the Heights attack has some firepower. Don't know if they have a fogo.

Your GZ grammar skills are embarrassing. This is the typical DCUM response to fall to insult when you have no argument.

Historically MIAA schools have been excluded from any rankings on this board.

You are criticizing grammar skills when you can’t proof read? You must have been embarrassed after posting.

These rankings look good. I know DeMatha graduated a ton from last year's squad. Are they really expected to drop off that much in one year? Is Gonzaga expected to have a sub-par season?
