[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a good luck when 3 Bullis seniors have to do a PG year to get into college.

Great job Boarman!

I get most of the critiques of Bullis but this one seems a stretch -- PG years are increasingly about either trying to "trade up" to get Division I or a stronger Division I school, or a college coach wants the player to essentially redshirt either to manage the size of his recruiting class or  to have the kid get one year bigger and stronger.  On the latter point,  by comparison it is now very common to have 20 and 21-year-old freshmen in Division I ice hockey. (Not a good thing, in my view, but that is the landscape.) [/quote]

Circling back, saw that one of the Bullis kids doing a PG year, who was formerly committed to Bucknell (maybe top 30-ish program), has now committed to Duke (generally seen as a top 5 program).  Seems to support the idea that at least some of the Bullis players who are doing a PG year are doing it to trade up -- Duke is certainly a big deal lacrosse program (not to mention a great academic school).

If you beg enough, go to enough $500+ a weekend events, run through enough repeat years and prep schools & offer to come for nothing but a roster spot in fall ball...they will take you. Even Duke. I wouldn't confuse that with being recruited outright. It's also rather sad and pathetic that some valedictorian w/ a sleeve of AP courses and 5s on those tests would be declined admission to make room for more lacrosse garbage. Every year that passes Dino looks worse. E parks 3-4 halfway house candidates at boarding schools every year now. [/quote]
