O'Connell is in the WCAC

Yup!

Kevin Giblin built Prep from nothing to a national power. His secret is his relentless nature. He will work at it and eventually find the key at O'Connell. He understands things about building a high school program that it will take new coaches years to find out, if they ever do.

I don't know how long it will take him to get O'Connell to the top of the IAC, but it will be half the time of an inexperienced high school coach.

What happened to Coach Trig? I thought he was at St Johns.

I do remember a lax player that left Landon and went to Bullis as a senior. The player complained about the Landon coaching staff and decided to leave. Is that OK? Or was that wrong?
I remember another Landon lax player that left Landon to go to Gonzaga. Is that OK?
Last year Bullis had a mid-year transfer that played lax. If you know the kid or the family situation you would realize there was much more to the transfer.

Bullis brings in about 150 new students each year.

Bullis has about 15 transfers a year pal.

Its the only school that brings in mid year transfers and senior transfers on a regular bases.

Landon's goalie came from the Heights as a junior. Poaching?
St Alban's face-off guy comes from Sidwell Poaching?
Prep brings kids from Florida. Poaching?
EHS boarding school Football players from Canada Poaching?
Bullis brings in a transfer mid year. Poaching?
SSSA 3 new players...Poaching?

Players contact the school, the schools are not actively looking for transfers. Each case is different.
Get over it

I had heard Bullis poached a few kids from Saint Stephens this off-season.

I prefer not to disclose his school...as it would clearly identify the student/player.

Pathetic if this is true. A ringer shows up just in time for lacrosse season.

It seems that more players may want to attend Bullis due to an opportunity to play earlier in a players high school career. Also Bullis has a new STEM building that is almost complete and 2 turf fields with lights. AND a JUMBOTRON in their stadium.

Yes they are poaching, I know specifically of a player brought in just for spring semester to play lacrosse. This was shortly after he committed to a college. Began this year at a public school, and was just brought back again for free to play lacrosse. This practice is ridiculous.

New head coaches at Prep, St Albans, SSSA, SJ. Any others? Any early impressions?

Add to the list Giblin at DJO

Any word how Goblin is doing at O'Connell?

Agree that kids transfer for many reasons. But come on, we all know the kids were recruited. My view is that it's becoming more and more of an easy sell - winning teams, great and growing facilities. There is a method to this madness. No complaints on my end.
