He has done a great job with SJC, but his name and the SJC brand has become a lightning rod for controversy. His next position won’t be in the DMV unless it’s a mega low tier program.

You think Duenkel’s parents needed the money? You don’t know Duenkel’s parents then.
What’s funny is these IAC folks have no idea how many parents have money at St.John’s and said no thanks to any financial help. The difference is not money it’s Coach Speaks and the support they provide for the student athlete. Coach Speaks goes to watch these kids play during the summer and builds a relationship with their families. All say it again. Your coach is being out worked when it comes to recruiting. If you don’t know - you don’t know.

Anonymous wrote:It never ends with the SJC bashing by the IAC people on here. In my day at SJC, the only IAC team that mattered was Landon. They were the best in the area. I dont recall any team in what was then the Metro conference (WCAC) playing Landon. We would however (as would GZ and GC and DeMatha) regularly beat Prep/Episcopal and St. Albans and I dont recall Bullis even having a team, same with SSSA. Bullis was known for soccer and tennis and I will just leave it at that. In 2004 somebody told my Bullis was good I had to ask them if it was the Bullis school in Potomac. So for Bullis to trash SJC for rising in the lacrosse ranks makes me laugh. Same thing with Prep. You all were terrible years ago. You got better. SJC got better. You will have to live with it.
