Teams like Brunswick and Salisbury (neither of them are in the Founders League btw) are often "deeper" in the same way Chaminade and St. Anthony's are. It doesn't mean they're better, though they do tend to be more consistent than smaller publics like GC and Manhasset. If GC is having a bad year or two with recruiting it's more likely than not just a statistical blip.

(I'm in no way a GC booster -- I'm a Catholic school alum from a non-hotbed town, started 4 years D1.)
