[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA students may dream about getting recruited by high D1 schools.  But the moms reign in such fantasies and ensure any recruitment is by the Ivies or top liberal art schools like Amherst and Swarthmore.  Perhaps once in a generation there's a football player who might be able to ride the bench  for Alabama but really, which STA parent would want their son there.[/quote]

This still paints a really inaccurate picture of sta as a school bursting at the seams with athletic recruits. There is a sports requirement. Many of the boys become pretty good at sports. Sta is not a place where the future of Alabama sports happens, but got ambitious moms.  :roll:  A few sta kids here and there play in college, but these posters who are making it sound like anything approaching a critical mass of kids are sports recruits are just exaggerating (at best). As one poster said, these posts would make anyone reading them run for the hills.

I don’t know how this thread got so hyperbolic, but it's creating a pretty distorted and dishonest picture of the school. [/quote]
