Prep will be very competitive this year given the parity in the IAC.

Urick is not fine. Prep has been irrelevant for four years and Urick's teams have done nothing. He is on a very hot seat.

MD kids still picking Gonzaga over Prep.

Wow, no need to attack people.
IN fact, there are posts saying that Bullis players are leaving, which is absurd.
DCE can promise all they want, but Bullis and Prep are very different schools and most kids don't seriously consider both.

The Mater Dei imbalance toward Gonzaga was a function of the economy a few years back but is becoming more even. Urick will be fine.

Nobody is transferring this late. Time to move on.

DCE is being kicked out of Bullis so they are begging to go to Prep. And yes, they are promising thst their players will come.

DCE will sell its players anywhere in order to make money.

Does this accurately summarize this thread - anything missing?

DCE/Asst Bullis coaches and DCE/Bullis parent/boardmember were purportedly got the longtime HC who was playing non-DCE upper class recruits over DCE Bullis players fired, but were unsuccessful in the attempt based on alumni intervention, DCE coaches left/asked to leave and DCE might be looking for alternative practice fields, now or when contract ends. Having bounced between several privates and Churchill over recent years, the departing DCE coaches are purportedly going to Georgetown Prep and their value to GP is draw rising freshmen from DCE teams to GP, or maybe even recruiting Bullis players follow them there. Posters are upset that Bullis HC wasn't supported, DCE coaches not to be trusted and are greedy for power/$, community and respect being dropped in pursuit of winning, hoping this doesn't reoccur at GP.

Apparently they haven't. Why would you take on Coaches that tried to orchestrate a removal of a Head Coach in concert with a parent/board member? Not sure as a parent I would be happy in the school hiring coaches who have shown themselves to have no morals or integrity. What does that show their kids?

I also can't understand why parents would keep moving their kids from school to school following a particular coach. Kids need to develop relationships within a school of friends and teachers. You can do that with constant moving. What does this tell a potential college coach about how your kid will be on the team if they kept moving to different HS because of coaching issues?

should be "can't"

I never would have thought GP would be this desperate to win. Sad state of affairs over there if this is true.

They might as well bring back Giblin if they are going to the scoop to the level of allowing DCE to practice there.

Promises of getting DCE's best players must have been too tempting. Prep is going to regret that.

Anonymous wrote:Shut up. Not a Bullis parent, but your post is crap. Do you know how many kids are brought it to Landon? They poached the goalie from the Heights, STA's best player, a junior transfer from Oregon, etc. Nearly every MS kid at Landon is recruited over. The coach at SSSA is recruiting like crazy. Putting this just on Bullis is piling on.

“STA’s best player” that Landon supposedly recruited was a second line midfielder his freshman year prior to transferring, not only that, he was not recruited, he chose to transfer to Landon to play lacrosse as well as soccer where he was a three time All-IAC selection in the latter.

Asst coaches going to Prep. Field rental to lax/soccer clubs continues for rental term. HOS is long overdue with a statement.
This divisive bitch fest is making the school look silly, put it to bed. The sun will rise tomorrow.

So these guys have gone from St. Johns, St. Andrews, Churchill, and Bullis to now GP.

Doesn't it say something that they keep bouncing from school to school?

Can wait for Bullis to destroy GP and run up the score. Postgame handshake line will be interesting.

You are not tuned in, if Prep has even a modest improvement in coaching they will be very dangerous - they have a ton of talent to work with.

Bullis would appear to be the Douchebag great lake, given the methods of the Headmaster and Board that run the place, a comical record of players coming/going...even with FULL scholarships to the detriment of the other students! And no communication about the status of a 20 year coach/teacher, pathetic!
