[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you consider Stone Ridge a sports factory? Because Katie Ledecky (a far more decorated athlete than Josh Hart) went to Stanford and graduated in under 4 years.

Bullis and Georgetown Prep have players currently in the NFL. There's a player on the Chicago Cubs who went to Georgetown Prep and Duke. The Arizona Diamondbacks have a pitcher who went to STA and Princeton.

Kristian Fletcher went to Landon and was a trialist with Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund before signing with DC United as a 17 year old.

You would have us think that Josh Hart and Saddiq Bey are special snowflakes?[/quote]

None of the schools listed above, except perhaps STA, is Sidwell’s academic peer. You don’t have to worry much about your grades if you’re an athlete at Bullis, Gonzaga, Prep, etc. Sidwell expelled Josh Hart due to poor grades. The Sidwell community protested for months before he was allowed to return, and he was tutored by teachers, parents and other community members until graduation.

US soccer (especially men’s soccer) is not qualified to be a part of this conversation. You can’t even name the Bullis and Prep players. Nameless, faceless players on teams with 60+ players each. While Katie Ledecky is certainly a “decorated” swimmer, I missed the name of her professional sports team…because that’s what this conversation is about.
