Sjc needs to get their act together. One navy commit gone and one Lehigh commit gone. Wonder how many more will be gone by the spring. Sjc definitely has the talent but doesn’t have a good culture.

Given how performed towards the end of last season (they lost to GP in the final game of the season by 10+ goals... it was a joke performance and could have been much worst) I'm not sure how you can think the Eagles are on the upswing.

Mater Dei pipeline has shifted towards GP a few years ago (this already shows) and with the emergence of SJC, I truly believe Gonzaga won't have the number of blue-chip recruits on their rosters relative to previous teams. Gonzaga also was accustomed to getting some very strong players in PG county and even Western Anne Arundel county. With the rise of Spalding, and Saint Mary's Annapolis (restoring its glory days), and now Dave Mitchell at DeMatha, a lot of talent along route 50 is going to be evenly distributed. You are delusional if you don't think SJC is picking off 1 - 3 players a year who would have most likely ended up at Gonzaga. Gonzaga for an extended period of time was also getting kids from Loudoun county to make the long trek to Eye Street. With PVI's move to South Riding, you don't think PVI is now locking in Catholic families who would have ended up at Gonzaga

For all the reasons mentioned above, I do Gonzaga's best days of being an elite program are going to fade. They had a stellar run for almost a decade.

SJC is the new sheriff in town.

Keep counting GZ out….one down year is not a trend.

1. SJC until anyone from the DC area can beat them. It will be interesting to see how they handle the pressure of being the "hunted" as everyone is now aiming to de-thrown the Cadets.
2. Prep until anyone from the IAC proves otherwise. Can the DC Dawgs live up to the hype and play team high school ball.
3. Landon looks to be very athletic at all positions in the field. Scoring could be an issue with Hertzburg now at Michigan.
4. Bullis brings back the best offensive player in the region (Tucker Wade) and best LSM in the area (Charlie Muller).
5. Saint Stephens has a very senior-laden team this Spring, they will be battle-tested and will have a chip on their shoulder.

HM:
Gonzaga - I wasn't impressed with Gonzaga two weeks ago at the Mad Lax event at Landon. Maybe they were missing some kids but these are not the same Gonzaga teams we are used to watching the past 5 years.

These rankings look about right. I would maybe swap Saint Stephens with Paul VI at #5.

St John's will most likely be in a league of their own this Spring in the DMV.

Yorktown dude just throwing g comments to the wind. Really pathetic.

Rest of this is funny as hell. The commercial real estate downturn and lack of new cars to sell is really leaving you guys with lots of free time, hunh?

Zipper zone.....is that a form of backer 2?

My name is Robert Paulson

Yorktown runs a mean zipper zone....no wonder they are the class of Arlington County

Please, give me your name you clown.

I see them run the hidden ball trick while Plank was handing out cash to get the opposing team to play dumb.

SJC's statue of liberty play on EMO is epic

Is this thread primarily SJC dads?
