But I thought Prep's boarding component was for only international students as the Little Hoya faithful love to beat their chests too.

Prep's best football player is a boarding student from southern VA. Prep's best lacrosse player is a boarding student from CT.

Remind me, what's the excuse for why you won't play SJC again?

No one has ever said GP's boarding component was only international students. For 40+ years it's been a major component. With the new dorm, it will be a larger U.S. component. The school's reputation and facilities will naturally attract students.

It also doesn't hurt GP sends a ton of lax players to really good academic universities. By observation, it's way more than others in the dmv.

Hate to burst your bubble but Landon and Bullis aren’t to shabby either.

Gonzaga also has impressive commit lists.

Please remind us - how did Speaks burn bridges in this regard?

NSS. The post was made with regard to boarders at GP and why really good lacrosse players from out of state choose to go there.

GP has sent more players over the past 5 years and to better academic universities than the others. This is not to say the others don't. For instance, Landon has dropped way off from the Bordley years. Bullis had 6 commits and Gonzaga had 5 while GP had 10 last year. Also, the quality of universities are better by reputation. SJC is good too and sent 5. Probably says more for Speaks' coaching than anything else. Of course, he had the best goalie in the dmv.

Hoping these IAC teams take the opportunity to play the Hill Academy, Taft and Culver while they are in town to play St. John’s. Nah

IAC teams duck the perceived sports academy type schools - culver, hill, IMG

[Anonymous]

IMG and Hill yes but Culver is not a sports academy. It’s a military school.

Interesting to not mention the number one player in the 2024 class who is going to the number one school for lacrosse.

Of course they would play IMG. Look at last years schedule. Full of easy wins.

Was saying that yes, IMG and Hill are sports academies. Culver isn’t.

GP has sent players to excellent schools lately, however, I have to give Bullis the designation as the local school that places lacrosse players in the best schools. Bullis currently has 4 players at UPenn, 2 players at Harvard, 2 players at Brown, and 1 at Princeton. Bullis also has 2 2025's going Ivy. UPenn and Brown. I don't believe GP has that many in the Ivy's.

Landon Lost to IMG by a goal in the final minutes last year in Florida.
Landon played Hill about a decade ago.

Culver is a Military School in Indiana. I do not think Landon has ever played them.

Speaks does a nice job at St. Johns, and he doesn't have admissions standards to contend with.

Landon
2021 Harvard, Yale,
2022 Dartmouth, Dartmouth, Ohio State, Michigan, Navy
2023 Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Denison x2, Ohio Weslyan, Washington and Lee
2024 Bucknell, Bowdoin, Utah, Tufts, Delaware
2025 Princeton, U-Penn,

This list is incomplete I suspect, but kids are attending some pretty good schools.
