Speaks doesn't necessarily run these off season workouts but he is well aware of which players are attending/are committed to the program.

Gonzaga also operates like this but it's not as emphasized.

IAC schools given they are smaller in size (except for GP), most kids generally play a 2nd sport because their athletic programs need the bodies (especially at the smaller co-ed schools)

Do SJC (or other school) kids transfer out if they don’t make Varsity as a sophomore? Or if they make Varsity but are looking at minimum playing time until senior year?

I don’t recall any players transferring out of SJC since Speaks became the coach. A few have been dismissed from the school for disciplinary reasons. Speaks has also allowed players to play football without interfering if they choose to do so.

Unless there is one this year, the only SJC varsity football player playing lax in the 2 years prior was Duenkel and he was the kicker. A kid can play 2 sports at JV at SJC and is highly discouraged at the varsity level at every single sport. The school literally tells applying families to look elsewhere if that's what they want.

My son played FB at St. Johns and was never told to look elsewhere when he was applying. The made up stories are hysterical.
Swope(LB) and Alverez(K) also played football all 4 years. Tasty also played.

You aren't helping, only solidifying the argument. You named 1 deep bench player, a kicker (that was the Duenkel joke) and a jv player. If you weren't told the unspoken truth while applying then your kid wasn't a recruited player of any standing.

I second that - when we toured with Speaks he was very clear that there are no varsity lacrosse players who play another sport at the school. I appreciate that he did that though - he was honest.

BS

Not really. My kid goes to SJC but doesn't play lacrosse or football. I've done a number of Men's club events and I've talked with other dads. There is not out and out statement that you can't play both sports but when I ask other Dads (whose son's are freshman) who have sons on the lacrosse team and I knew played football. All of them have stated "Timmy is concentrating on lacrosse this year and well see what happens moving forward." that answer to me reads like code for Speaks has told them no football.

There is a freshman lacrosse player that is also playing football.

whoa...one kid. Wow.

The point is that Speaks doesn't stop kids from playing football. It's up to the kid and his parents.

oh, one kid proves. gotcha. So one freshman lacrosse player proves...I'm not sure you understand proof.

Do us all a favor and go watch a SCJ Football game and let us know if you think your Lax Bro son that goes to whatever other school would have the ability to play football at SJC and get back to me.

Better yet don't. I already know the answer.

You can do the same with the lax bros at SJC and their team picture compared to the SJC football team. When you literally recruit for only football, lower the admission standards and then provide free tuition and, in some cases, housing then you get a different kind of athlete student.

The racist showed up. Are you saying because the FB players recruited are black it means they have to lower standards?

There you are dcum. Make sure you inject race into everything. Your own rascist pre-conceptions on football show us who you really are. https://www.sjcfootball.org/team-awards

This forum is back to only talking about St. John’s.

Change of topic. Why isn't GP playing in NHSLS? I didn't see them on the list of teams participating.

SJC does all that for lacrosse too - right down to housing.

St Paul's and Gilman aren't exactly world beaters. Neither is most of their WCAC schedule. So I think that drops it down to loses to several big boyz.

It’s another level. Some just don’t understand. You can see the difference in the team pictures.

Any reason they're not all getting signed to play at good football schools?

Many go to good fb schools. How many go to good fb schools from the IAC? Lmao

The PP said no one on the lacrosse team would ever see the field. I expected to see 10-15 guys per class. See 3 to 5, some good football schools, some eh. So where are the rest of them headed?

Sounds like you’re the racist! I don’t see anything in that previous post saying one word about the color or race of any of the players. YOU’RE the one inserting and starting the racist topic…like most of you liberals usually do lol!

For the 1000th time….St John’s has brunt ever local bridge possible which is why they have to play all the out of town schools. Their reputation is absolutely trash in the dmv to everyone except themselves lol. Where did St John’s end up in the national rankings last year? I’ll wait….

[Anonymous]

Burnt….

St John’s peeps, we’re all still waiting….haha! Guess we all know the answer anyway. But in case you St John’s homers forgot, it’s not 2022 any longer!

Hmmm. I'll let me daughter know. She's probably willing to give it a go but she's probably too tough for those boys. As I said, my kid doesn't play football or lax at SJC.

And I've seen both teams. There absolutely kids from both teams that could play and start for both teams. Sorry if that offends your sense of athleticism. Lax guys aren't laying OL but if you are special athlete you can pretty much do whatever you want.

ok Mr. Intelligent Code Reader who isn't affiliated with the SJC lacrosse or football program but has his ear to the ground. You are saying that Speaks told all but 1 freshman kid that they cannot play football at SJC? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense...PFFFT
