So you guys were only able to come up with one public school player who was "recruited"? Public school recruiting is very very rare.
No, it isn't. Half the guys on the average Simeon basketball team started somewhere else.
Despite my discomfort posting in this thread, the last time Whitney Young won state in basketball, many/most of the kids where from as far away as Burr Ridge & River Forest, and a number hadn't ever actually formally applied/tested for admission.
But I'm not exactly about to sympathize with the schools who have at least 5 coaches for each team, actual trainers & multi million dollar on campus facilities for several sports. Frankly I have just always assumed that all city/suburban/public/private schools with $$$ and friends of the program cheat anyway.
I remember those days. Now Simeon just dominates so it doesn't really matter at all.
