Good points but question on new GP coach luring talent away from other local programs.... there is a thought he's going to be pulling players from all over the country b/c of the boarding aspect - so maybe that means more local talent ends up at SJC, Landon, Gonzaga as DMV area players get squeezed out of Prep... possible? |
Hilgartner was well known for getting upper school transfers and did so when GP's lsm got into trouble a couple of years ago and he transferred out of GP. The parents at McD never liked the practice but enjoyed the wins. If you think your kid is going to age his way into playing time at GP, his chances are now decreased. |
100 percent agree. While at McDonogh, it was well know he would hit the transfer portal to bring in upper class transfers to fill in holes. Landon and SJC are already benefiting with Hilgy’s arrival. |

McDonogh had more $$$ to throw around at any prospective family in the MIAA.
Hilgy should have dominated in the MIAA but he didn't. It will be interesting to see how Prep adapts its admission policies with the arrival of the new lax coach. Prep admissions has been turning a blind eye to several marquee recruits across various sports in recent years. |
You mean the football commit who can't read or write or the other football commit who stole a credit card from another student and used it or the basketball players who come and go because they can't read or write. Not sure why you think that's a problem. |
This is the funniest thing I have read all day! |
It’s an accurate description of what is taking place at GP these days |

Here is how the 2026 season plays out.
1. SJC - clear frontrunner with sheer number of committs and talent on all ends of the field. 2. Landon - best coaching staff in the DC area. The 2026 class is weak compared to 25 and 24 classes. 3. GP - I'd rank the Hoyas above the Bears, but given it's a brand new coaching staff, its going to take them a year or two to figure it out. 4. Good Counsel - the Falcons will finally get over the hump with their 2026 class. Their starting 6 on the offensive side of the field is legit. Defense is suspect. 5. Bullis - the Bulldogs have the horses in the midfield and still have some good pieces on the defensive side of the ball to make every contest competitive. HM: Paul VI (the Panthers bring back a good portion of last years's squad and should make some noise in the WCAC |
| Why is this still active? Can private school parents not read or comprehend? This thread was for 2026 commitments, we are way past 26 D1 2 or 3. They are now past the top D1s of 2027s and into lower D1 and D2/3. |
