Of the 14 kids who are considered the "starters" on Bullis (3 attack, 3 mids, 3 defense, 2 SSDM, 1 goalie, 1 F/O, 1 LSM) there are 2 transfers and 1 freshman. Everyone else was at Bullis last year.

And, just to clarify on transfers ending up at Bullis. They don't recruit transfers as a program goal. Transfers are attracted to Bullis, because they are generally not a deep team. Landon, Prep and Gonzaga have line after line of excellent players, some committed, that stand in the way of any potential transfer. Bullis usually has a starting lineup, a couple of decent reserves, and not a lot of depth. If a good player is looking for an immediate opportunity to play (and girls!), Bullis has the most possibility. For example, Prep, Landon and Gonzaga all have D1 commits that get little to no playing time. Bullis has starters and contributors that don't even play high level club lacrosse. Where would you go if you wanted to transfer and play?

Bullis has 5 transfers. One from St. Stephens, one from Mount Saint Joseph, one from Pallotti, one from a NOVA public school and one from a MOCO public school. If I did my math correct, that equals 5 transfers. Lastly, there are only 10 kids on a lacrosse field at once.... so 50% of Bullis starters are new to the school. No school in the IAC even comes close to taking in transfers at this rate. Your basketball program does the same shit and your football program is even more guilty. Most IAC programs appear to be more committed to developing their players through a JV system.



Your reading and math skills are very poor if that is your retort. Not all the transfers start, and there are more than 10 kids that "start" on a team. It is likely, however, that you whine about 50% of any given day, based on your crybaby post.

Haters Gonna Hate !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be great to see Landon Lose to either G. Prep or Gonzaga. If by chance they dont they will lose to Bullis in the Championship.

Landon should dominate Prep tomorrow.

Gonzaga will be a close game.

It's funny the number of folks that dislike Landon. Why is that?

This forums become a joke. We used to have useful conversations now everyone just says their team is so great. Take your personal ties out of this.

True, except there is expertise out there. So, look to the polls that folks have posted. Landon actually does sit among the top of all three national polls. They can talk. And Bullis is at least ranked in top 20 in at least one. But lets be honest, Prep is no where to be found this year, much less schools that have never been found in the top rankings such as PVI, Robinson, SSSAS (boys) or any of the other schools with pretentions of glory.

Just read that Landon has four kids going to the Naval Academy next year and Bullis has one.

Very impressive for both schools and especially the boys who are willing to serve.

Kudos to all involved.

Any word on whether SJ has any star incoming lax players for next year?

[Anonymous]

I'm seeing a st Stephens upset today! Unless their two best players are still suspended as they have been for the past few weeks
- Not a st Stephens or bullis parent, just a local fan, I think sssas matches up well against bullis.

[Anonymous]

Would love to here your analysis of how SSSA matches up well against Bullis ?

Attack- Nope- Advantage Bullis
Middies -Nope- Advantage Bullis
Goalie-Nope- Advantage Bullis
Faceoff- ? -Equal

Not to mention Games against common opponents- Advantage Bullis

Is there any concern that the new coach at SSSA might be the cause of the dip in wins this year?
