[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More fuel for the Bullis "renegade" sports factory angle -- they admitted a lacrosse player as a SENIOR who came from Landon.  The reputable schools in this area don't admit seniors, let alone steal them from other league schools.  [/quote]

1.  Bullis is not a "renegade" sports school.  They don't do nearly the recruiting of athletes or the hard-core focus on athletics that many IAC/WCAC schools have.

2.  The player in question was not "stolen" from Landon.  He is a good player, but left for Bullis because Landon is stacked and Bullis, while a very good lacrosse team this year, offers more opportunity to play/shine.

I have nothing to do with Bullis or Landon, just a parent who knows lax in this area.  You have no idea what you are talking about.[/quote]

Again, the reputable private schools in the IAC do not take senior transfers.  The fact that Bullis would take a Landon transfer for athletic purposes does show why the other IAC schools see it as increasingly slimy.  The new Bullis head brags that Bullis doesn't even require the SSAT from every applicant -- this is all about recruiting and making the Bullis community feel good for a while with transfer-filled sports teams.[/quote]
