Given Prep has now kids going to TAMPA to play lacrosse, that shows you the academic standards have dropped.
That’s an odd one, for sure, unless there’s some weird transfer portal strategy.
Tampa is the top D2 lax program and great weather and campus. What is odd is adults commenting on someone they do not know. Very sad.
Lenoir-Rhyne won the D2 title last season. So that would make them the top program until somebody else wins or they repeat. And they split the season series with Tampa. So, nice try.

Unless you went to Prep, you don’t know.
This should be made into T-Shirts. This might be the best post I’ve ever read on here.

Prep top academic schools placement
2021: Amherst, Penn, Navy, Notre Dame (2), Bowdoin
2022: Navy, UVA, Bowdoin
2023: Princeton (2), Army, Georgetown
2024: Georgetown, Duke, Notre Dame, Hopkins
2025 so far: Penn, UNC
This looks fine to me.

When you bring in 125 boys as freshmen in a relatively competitive admissions market, you get some high quality wheat and some serious chaffe.
Lacrosse players do not need tough academics to succeed. No one cares. SJC is still top dawg deal with it.
Says the SJC alum still living in the past, good grief, get a life.

Sorry mom. He’s a good player. Could have aimed much higher, but it is a good party school.

Not hard to see that the Prep 2024 class is by far the most talented in the DMV this yearAnonymous wrote:Landon has an extremely deep and talented 2024 class. Definitely the best in the area. Bullis won’t contend with them and Prep will have to recruit a lot of boarders to stay in the mix this year.

No dog in this fight, but wow. Good school and all, but the self-reverance is pretty amazing here.
