Are you referring that half will transfer out of SJC?

Once they realize they won’t play until at best their junior year, and not even senior year bc of all the recruited and good players at the school, they will realize what a mistake they made when choosing a lesser academic school on the promise of a top tier college admitting them.

Many players will sit on the bench for a couple of years, but most of the players do get placed in a wide variety of schools.

Syracuse, Navy, Georgetown, Lehigh, Ohio State, Virginia, UMBC, UMD, Bellarmine, Mt St Marys, Drexel, Jacksonville, Towson

26 class at St. John’s looks stacked. Top close defender - Top Goalie and some very good midfielders.

Wonder how well this will age for Bullis - or St John's - come end of the season? How many will actually have any meaningful playing time so that when they actually get to play real minutes they can go, instead of a school like Landon where their 25s will have had to play against bigger, older, faster kids for 2 years and be better prepared when the horn rings for their junior and senior seasons. Seems obvious to me. Can't develop if you're not on the actual playing field.

didn't one of SJC tops defenseman transfer to Bullis this past summer?

Harvard - AF - Add a few girls lax players - Yale - Penn and another Harvard commit.

All good if it makes you feel better paying more for HS. No scholarships so you say and you pay more and lose. Sounds dumb.

Nearly impossible to get into any Ivy from WCAC schools, the academics are not rigorous enough.

Not true. Gonzaga has sent numerous lax boys to Ivy over the last ten years.

What an ignorant statement.

. This is a good list, but few could be considered Elite. Not everyone is looking for an Ivy. Just an observation.

Kids hate playing for the best program in the area. They really hate going to school with girls too. The 22s played right away and so will the top 26s by next year. When is the last time an IAC school beat SJC? 2019?

1. Georgetown Prep - 15
2-4. Gonzaga/Landon/Dematha - 10
5-8. Bullis/SJC/SSSA/PaulVI - 9
9. STA - 6
10. St. Andrews - 5
11. Episcopal - 4
12. Potomac - 3
13-14. Good Counsel/Heights - 2

They don’t.

There is some correlation. How good the program they committed to are may matter as much as overall number. But even with just the total numbers people would be surprised if for example Gonzaga or Landon with 10 lost to Good Counsel or Heights with 2.

I think it is also the quality of the commitment. SJC has players ranked in the top 100 over all some of the others do not. If Dematha has an extra D3 player on the roster it will not mean they can beat the top teams. I think you could break them down in tiers.

Tier One: GTP, Bullis, SJC, Gonzaga
Tier Two: Landon, PVI, Dematha, SSSA, STA
Tier Three: The rest

Does Tier One have the strongest 2025/2026 classes?

Who really cares about 25/26 classes? Rarely does more than one or two players make an impact in those grades. If a team is relying on freshman and sophomore contributions they are not in Tier one by default.

I disagree. I think you can have 25s that are impact players. Maybe not 26s. Some of the 25s are holdbacks anyway so it is completely plausible that they will be impact players this spring.

Ok. Name the school and position that is impacted by a 2025 that is projected to be at least all conference this year? It may happen but this is still pre season. I think the tiers are accurate based on upper class players.

Before Covid hit, those SJC 22s already crushed Prep and beat Landon. Sophomore classes can make a big difference, especially in IAC where kids are 16-17.

That team was led by Haley. He dominated GP and everybody else.

Haley, Alvarez and 8 22s.

Conor Segreti with the highlight of the year.
