[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That St. John's wants to coast on Laurels from last year and say they are the best this year because they were the best last year is specious.  Prep is better.

That St. John's hasn't gone after kids from other schools is also a little bit of the ostrich in the sand routine.  SJCHS has an assistant coach who only coaches Lacrosse and Hockey and recruits for both sports.  That is his job Ladies and Gentlemen.  There is a sophomore attackman at SJCHS who was a freshman at Landon last year.   Other schools have experienced this same thing.  When a kid is at your school one year, and at another the next, people can get testy.    Coach Speaks also only coaches and I think the same can be said for Coach Heater at STA..  I think most coaches at other Schools, Belistri, McGettigan, and then all the downstream program coaches actually teach, coach other sports, mentor advisees, etc.

Funny comment. Speaks does teach classes in health/phys Ed. Department as well as being a strength coach for other sports.  And the other coach you speak of teaches PE. They don’t just coach and recruit.

Bullis has a player that was at SJC last year and the Prep kid has been to three different high schools.

Just maybe in all these cases with the players, they weren’t happy with where they are and explored other options initiated on their own.

Just when you think you know, you don’t.[/quote]

Thanks for the information.  Is Speaks teaching Lacrosse?  Is he strength coaching his lacrosse kids and a few random field hockey players?  
How many PE classes does the assistant teach.  By the way, teaching PE is not the same as teaching Math or History or even working in admissions 
Didn't know about the SJCHS kid at Bullis.  Thanks for the info. 
The Headmaster at Bullis has changed, but under The Old Regime, they recruited heavily.  We will see how the changes over there work out over time.

Most of what I said was  scuttle-butt, except, you don't get to say, "We were the best last year so we are the best this year."  My eyeball test says Prep is better.

How much longer with the SJCHS faceoff guy be around?  The Cadets might find life gets a lot harder without  generational talents at faceoff and goalie.

Sjc face off guy is technically a jr as from what I have heard he is repeating his senior year. So he has the rest of this year and next year at sjc.[/quote]

The Prep trick?  Nah Not at St. John’s. [/quote]
