[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]ahhhh, not so fast. The Episcopal kid brought in by Prep was de-committed from Maryland and thrown out of Episcopal due to drug problems. Bullis is not alone with their win at all cost mentality....[/quote]

Please don't even think you can put Prep in the same sentence as Bullis when it comes to athletic recruiting or a win at all cost mentality!

Bullis has been aggressively recruiting for football for the past several years. Admitting kids who were asked to leave other IAC schools for academic or disciplinary reasons has become the reputation of Bullis.  Your football is notorious for bringing kids in the fall for football season who happen to leave after Christmas break, believe me, I have heard this first hand from several current Bullis families who are not happy.

This year alone, Bullis admitted a kid from another IAC school who left on very "rocky" terms and poached St. Andrews starting goalie. Not to mention somehow convinced the #1 recruit in the country to transfer in from over 2 hours away.

Exactly!

It's a question of scale.

One or two cases are one thing. But wholesale recruiting of kids across a number of sports is yet another.

I admire the creativity and chutzpah of the Bullis strategy. They are trying to make a traditionally unattractive school more attractive.

But the other schools see how this is done and react accordingly. No one is going to elevate Bullis to being a "Rival" no matter how many games they win.

Bullis is selling these people a bill of goods suggesting that it's just like the other IAC schools. It isn't and never has been.

The Bullis strategy may work and attract more and maybe even better applicants. But the already low opinion of the school among the other schools is going to suffer.

This disapproval in and of itself isn't enough to dissuade Bullis from pursuing a strategy that has worked a lot of other places. Build a winning sports program, get exposure and favorable press, improve campus enthusiasm and then increase academic standards. It's the modern day version of the Notre Dame strategy that elevated a small Catholic college in the wilds of Indiana into something better.[/quote]

Bullis is rising, Prep and Landon are not. This is true academically and athletically.  Does any other IAC school have anything close to the STEM resources and other facilities at Bullis?  [/quote]

What a joke.  As they all say "Bulis is still Bullis" and it doesn't have the STUDENTS to be a top school.  Bullis gets the dumb athletes and rejects from the rest of the IAC.[/quote]

Hmmm..current commits to Penn, Dartmouth and Navy
