[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a direct correlation between the economy, the number of kids going from Mater Dei to Gonzaga, and the rise of Gonzaga lacrosse.  If this trend continues (and there is no reason to assume otherwise), Prep will continue to lose some athletes/lax players to Gonzaga and perhaps elsewhere.  Prep will always be a top lax program, but they will not have as strong an automatic lacrosse feeder program from Mater Dei as they've had over the past decade+.[/quote

With your ability to forecast the direction of the economy, we could have used you a few years ago.

I disagree with your thesis that GP lacrosse will go down and Gonzaga lacrosse will rise as the proportion of Mater Dei grads changes. You are giving the Mater Dei program too much credit. Mater Dei has produced a lot of "supplemental" players through the years. Many of the stars have come from elsewhere starting with guys like Scott Doyle (St. E's)

What Giblin must to is get the best GP athletes to play lacrosse and attract athletes from the area Catholic schools.

With 1000 boys it's wonder Gonzaga hasn't been any better than its been before the last few years.

DeMatha has zero Mater Dei kids and they have been pretty good.
