SJC has a rising senior goalie on the roster. DCE Black. Don't know who is better.

I don't think he ever went to Landon. The Landon transfer is at Episcopal.


I thought SJC had a rising senior goalie.


Rising junior goalie who transferred from Bullis after freshman year

Ummm, money?!


Seriously so you people ever leave the beltway? We traveled to a game there and it was as laden with G-wagons and Rivians as any parking lot you’d pull into in Bethesda. They’re dripping with PE and hedge fund money in a town drenched in it. Guess again.


Is there a single hedge fund in the DC area that operates at any sort of scale? Or are you just talking about of your ass?

All 3 Attack return
2 Fogos return
3 starting Mids return
3 starting SSDMs are back
D loses a 5-star but replaces him with a 4-star

1 pole to replace
Goalie is biggest unknown


This is almost entirely wrong.
2 of the 3 attacks were moved to 2nd line mid and the third was a senior. A senior mid and a sophomore took their place. 1 returns and they'll need to find 2 more effective attack.
1 mid was a senior. 2 are returning and they aren't exactly sharing the ball a lot.
They lost their best ssdm and the other 3 probably averaged 2 penalties a game collectively.
Fogo is a strength. True.
Poles should be good too, but losing a 5 star will hurt.
Goalie is complete question mark.
4-5 28's transferred out.

If Nic Bell does come to Bullis, then I would certainly add the Bulldogs to this list as it will mean Bullis is not backing down. Nic Bell won't leave STAB if Bullis doesn't give him at least 1 -2 admissions slots a year.



+1 Agree no other names being thrown around here for the Bullis position will have the impact that Nic Bell will. Unlike the other names in the mix, Nic Bell has name recognition far beyond the immediate DMV. He has a proven track record for building successful programs and will attract new talent to Bullis. I think their program will stay strong even if they bring in local talent (simply maintaining the house that Bellistri has built), but I see it going to the next level under Bell.


I’m not seeing why a guy who has access to dorm rooms, national profile, and a lower cost of living would take the Bullis job. But hey, it’s off season and people need something to do.

At STAB:
1) You have to travel 1-2 hours for every away game
2) Thin local talent
3) Need to recruit to central VA and competing against Brunswick, Deerfield, Culver, etc.


Yes, daily beltway traffic is a delight compared to a spring season of arduous rural travel. Dude, you’re really reaching. If it were one of the MIAA-A schools I could see the logic of a jump clearly. Not so much for Bullis.


You’re discounting the fact that Ohio is so charming, and those Massachusetts preps are like being in Time Square! Agree re MIAA-A - they’ve got both local talent and dorms. Bullis? Really??

With Hilgy now at Prep and his club connections nationwide, and GP's desire to fill the dorms, I do believe GP will be able to sustain a very high level of nationwide success. Prep graduated a ton of seniors this spring, but they will bring in some players via the transfer portal and stash them in the dorms.

I suspect you will see Landon and SJC field some very competitive teams every three seasons and then enter a "two-year" rebuilding phase of taking their lumps.

If Nic Bell does come to Bullis, then I would certainly add the Bulldogs to this list as it will mean Bullis is not backing down. Nic Bell won't leave STAB if Bullis doesn't give him at least 1 -2 admissions slots a year.

The GZ program is beginning to fall off. If the Eagles have a subpar season in 2027, you will see a reboot of its existing coaching staff.



um...not too hard to get into Bullis.

1. Not every game - but fair point
2. Fair (but recruiting local day students is a different animal than what he doing now)
3. He's not chasing the same guys. Bell is going after 3* types from non-hotbed areas mainly, and convinces him he can make them 4*'s (he does for a few of them).
