LexCath talent started to drop off after their 2015 title run and let's be honest, the controversy a little bit ago hasn't helped. The program is trending down and I'm not sure it's as cyclical as a place like Boyle Co that is a public school. Private schools are more impacted by momentum of the program and excitement of the community. The more good vibes, the more people that want to be a part of it. If it's trending down with mediocre seasons and losing a coach, it can take a while to recover. LC needs a SPLASH hire and they need it quick or kids/parents may opt for the new kid on the block in FredDoug that is trending up AND is free to attend.

IMO LexCaths best days are behind it unless they get an exceptional coach and the move to 4A is beneficial.

Agreed on the recent controversy possibly being a reason LC is not getting the influx of talent. Not sure where all that stands but it sure did go quiet.
As for FD.....not everyone is as high on it as you seem to be. Sure, the kids like the shiny new stuff but most parents that are interested in more than football, nice weight rooms and jumbotrons can figure out it's not a great option.
