Stanford Commit Joe McNamara!

Stanford Commit Joe McNamara!

Over the years, Mark Guandolo has found a way to build programs and put them in the post season almost immediately. Follow his impressive trail from Hallandale to Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna, Miami Monsignor Pace, Miramar, Miami Southridge, back to Chaminade and finally Weston Cypress Bay, and you will understand that he demands the most from his athletes, and often receives it!


As we have shown you over the past year, Elite Scouting Services has the opportunity to visit more schools across the state of Florida than anyone, and while much of our information is used to help our many collegiate clients stay informed about the athletes in the Sunshine State, we do have much information to share with our many readers.

Today, we head to Weston Cypress Bay for a look at the Lightning.

ESS SUMMARY: After the loss of 42 seniors, this is a program that will have to go back to the drawing board, but 2010 standouts McNamara (Stanford commitment), Green (3 year starter), Soven (top kicking prospect), and 2011 standout Epstein, things could fall into place faster than even Guandolo believes.

Any way you slice it, this will be a rebuilding year.
