[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are a the Junior Varsity version of IMG Academy. [/quote]

Not really...IMG Academy is very expensive and doesn't provide much scholarship money.  I think it's like $90k/year.

I think many people realize that there is huge demand for a much cheaper option, and partnering with St. James that already has built an amazing facility makes a ton of sense.

Yes, the St James Academy schooling is not going to be great.  You will sit in essentially and office room and learn virtually with one teacher that tries to help kids that need help.

The IMG HS teams are getting worse and worse these days.  It's becoming more of a 5th year captive team for D1 college programs or kids looking to go pro that want a post-HS facility but not college.

Another twist in the model is a place like Pro5 out of Raleigh.  It costs like $20k, but you just enroll in the local high school and then train at Pro5 starting at 3pm+ all year round.  You aren't allowed to play for the HS teams...I think they may only offer baseball right now.  You play Junior Colleges for your game schedule in the Spring.[/quote]
