Independent Schools - Recruit Athletes?

A while ago the middle school basketball program was wrapped around one kid whose dad coincidentally was hired as a coach. They left after two years before the kid even made it to high school. The coaching is so bad. They keep trying to recruit players to fix it rather than putting the mirror on themselves and fix the coaching.

Absolutely. New coach making clown decisions and thinking he can recruit people into the school with poor grades. I hope they replace him soon. I love everything about STA except their athletic department and basketball coaches.

They made a coaching change, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

STA academics make it hard for any athlete. It's not for everyone.
