[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what the poster is getting at is does a white kid stand a chance--- not because of race, but maybe inferior athletic ability/less basketball focused culture?

I'm a little nervous for my own kid, who loves this sport. Out in the VA burbs (as mentioned above) he can compete but I have no idea how any of these kids would stack up against say, a city team.  The kids look to be mostly AA and extremely athletic and tall. [/quote]

Seriously if you are asking these question you already know the answer. It’s going to be very competitive. I am white, grew up around here and played. How old is your kid? The cut starts to happen somewhere between 6th and 8th grade. This is when the boys grow and develop. I never really worried about if I was playing against a black or white guy. It just did not matter. It just matters if you can play. In a large public high school there can be 2,000 to 4,000 kids. There are a lot of kids coming out for a few spots. You have to be good. Even if you stayed out in the Burbs, you have to be good to make the team. Now the private schools are a lot different, some recruit, others do not. [/quote]
