[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know they are offering a few kids a decent amount for baseball. Not sure who you think their best players are but there are a few 8th graders they are after that are highly ranked and can pick their school. [/quote]

Again...it's very likely these 8th graders are eligible for significant need-based aid.

My kid played on SJC's best team in recent history (possibly ever), and the aid was not tied to talent.  Talent gets basically any kid accepted, and then once accepted, need takes over.  They don't allocate need-aid based on your test scores or grades either, but rather your financial situation once accepted (of course the De La Salle program is different and those are merit scholarships for the best students).

Think of it like Ivy league schools.  They accept star athletes with far lower grades and scores than the average student, but once accepted, their need-based aid is computed entirely on their financial situation.  Any coach looking to recruit them would ask for their financial information, admissions/FA would review and then the coach would be able to tell the student that they are eligible for 100% FA, or 50% FA or 0% FA.[/quote]
