[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Prep continues to be down. The drain from Mater Dei to Gonzaga has been huge. Bullis lost a ton of 2016 seniors and still destroyed Prep this year. Also, VA public school lax is MUCH better than Montgomery County public school lax. Not even close.[/quote]

The Mater Dei pipeline has swung back in Prep's favor, I do think GP is on the up-swing. Gonzaga will remain a very strong program. Its cheaper than Prep, has a much larger enrollment and to be honest, the school can sometimes admit students with lesser academic credentials than at a school like GP. (not trying to open up a can of worms here)

Bullis has the best offensive player in the country this year. I suspect they will drop next year a little bit after he graduates. Also, and based from several sources, Bullis seems to be committed to building their program from recruiting kids from other programs. I have no idea how many starters on their team are transfers but based on this thread, it sounds like maybe half of the starters were not even enrolled in Bullis last year at this time. Prep would never go down that route, they have a little bit more integrity. [/quote]

Correct on the best offensive player in the country (or close to it); incorrect on transfers.  Of the 14 kids who are considered the "starters" on Bullis (3 attack, 3 mids, 3 defense, 2 SSDM, 1 goalie, 1 F/O, 1 LSM) there are 2 transfers and 1 freshman.  Everyone else was at Bullis last year.

And, just to clarify on transfers ending up at Bullis.  They don't recruit transfers as a program goal.  Transfers are attracted to Bullis, because they are generally not a deep team.  Landon, Prep and Gonzaga have line after line of excellent players, some committed, that stand in the way of any potential transfer.  Bullis usually has a starting lineup, a couple of decent reserves, and not a lot of depth.  If a good player is looking for an immediate opportunity to play (and girls!), Bullis has the most possibility.  For example, Prep, Landon and Gonzaga all have D1 commits that get little to no playing time.  Bullis has starters and contributors that don't even play high level club lacrosse.  Where would you go if you wanted to transfer and play?[/quote]
