Ohio State

I think there are public school players at Gtown and Penn State. Anywhere else in top 20 plus programs?
UVA

You have zero idea who the best public players are. There are maybe 2 or 3 privates that play a top 20 schedule. And half of those guys sit the bench.Anonymous wrote:Back to you VA public’s haha! Even in the summer league that most of the college commits play in you can see that even the best public players are on average significantly inferior to the better private players. It’s no knock on anyone but when you’ve been playing public competition for four years you’re not going to be at the same level as those private schools players who are playing a top 20 national schedule. ITS JUST NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!
It was 7-3 final including a garbage late goal for Landon and 4 to 3 heading into the 4th. Guess they don't have coaches that can design a pressure D to get the ball back?Anonymous wrote:Landon always makes the offer to play the top public state champs in VA and MD. Several years back, Oakton won the state championship and then played Landon and lost by 15. A couple of years ago Madison plays Landon at Madison with the no shot clock rule and all Madison did was runaround and kill the clock and waste time so the loss was only 8-3. The following year Madison was suppose to go to Landon to play and they bailed…wonder why lol! That would have been a 15 goal loss for the VA state champs with the shot clock in full effect. So yea, some of us do know what we’re talking about, but keep up the good fight public daddy from Robinson. And now we can at least come to some agreement that I do agree your state champs could compete with the bottom of the barrel in the WCAC and the IAC…bravo for that! And Severna Park has never come close to beating Landon although they are a fantastic team and would crush the VA public’s all day long.

With that said, Robo, Riverside and Madison would likely all beat the smack out of the bottom teams from the WCAC (Ryken, Ireton, O'Connell etc etc.).
Shifting over to Maryland, Severna Park and Broadneck from Anne Arundel are pretty damn good - I know in recent years they have both beat DeMatha. I'm pretty sure Severna Park played Landon not too long ago and it was a pretty tight game too and has knocked off Severn in recent years as well.
Ireton did well v these teams in the fall league. They beat Robo and lost to Madison by 1. Yeah it is fall but as others have mentioned if the played NCAA rules that would benefit BI. Either way it would not be accurate to say they could beat the smack out of Ireton. They are probably at the same level as Ireton and a long way from PVI.
No one said shot clock rules would favor BI but you.
Last year, PVI was bounced in their 1st game in the quarters so they might not remember how the VISAA playoffs went. Blue Ridge won, walking through all Private-1 competition.
Blue Ridge beat PVI earlier in the year, also also played 2 publics. They got doubled up + by VA public (Atlee) and almost the same by Charlotte area Lake Norman. This, the #1 private in Virginia. Outta here with that nonsense.
What this really says is visaa isn’t really a true picture and that the pvi super26’s were too young or not as good as people want them to be. Bullis is having the same thing going on.
