[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis will remain relevant as long as Jebb Bellistri is the HC, despite commentary from the PP, Bellistri is a very good coach and does a great job of developing his players.

While Bullis will remain strong and can play the dark horse in the IAC, these Bullis teams are a fraction compared to what they had during the Boarman Headmaster era. The previous headmaster as it has been well documented, was sports-obsessed and put a huge emphasis on Bullis' boy's lax and football teams. Lax team had more resources, a larger FA budget and could get applicants through admissions quickly. Bullis a few years ago was bringing in 5+ plus junior/senior transfers every offseason providing them with plenty of depth.

Having watched Bullis play this spring a few times, their starters can run with anyone in the area however unlike previous teams from 3 - 5 years ago, the Bulldogs have little to no depth. Bullis still recruits but not nearly as aggressively as they once did during the Boarman era.

The Spring of 2025 will be interesting for the Bulldogs as they have likely the best 25 class in the DMV... Rumors have been circulating Coach Bellistri might also retire after next season.

Time will tell...

to summarize, when he has talent, he's a good coach. Sort of like most coaches. Got it. I've watch Jeff for the last 10 years in the IAC, and while he has been a good coach for years and a program builder, I would say the last thing he is known for is developing players. This season only proves my point. Nobody evolved this season at all, including some of these highly regarded 25's (who are quite the selfish type of player\, based on what I witnessed). I saw this team play early in the season and as recently as last week, and if anything, many players regressed and had far too much on their plate.

If he is going to go out after next season, I hope he gets his coaching staff fixed, including someone with an offensive mind with a new way of thinking, someone who can run the box (and not let the kids decide who plays) and let Jeff do what he does best, manage the game/program from above.

The conference is better with Bullis battling Landon and Prep, I hope Jeff realizes that.[/quote]
