[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GP is more Catholic than Gonzaga.

Gonzaga has a lot more recruited athletes![/quote]

Who even knows what "recruited" athletes in this context.

The NCAA has a formal description of what makes someone a "recruit". That doesn't exist at the high school level.

The IAC has one rule relative to recruiting. That is that schools are not supposed to make "first contact." The student has to express some interest first and that can be as simple as a phone call or visiting the school. The bar is very low.

Once that "first contact" is made there are no rules. The NCAA at each Division has rules on how often and when contact can be made and by whom.

The NCAA has rules against boosters contacting potential recruits. That practice is rampant in the IAC with other parents and friends and even strangers encouraging prospects to make that first contact.

There is nothing funnier than the claim from any of these private schools that "We don't recruit". They all do. And the coaches an ADs are there during the admissions process trying to get kids that will help their programs into the school and considered for whatever financial aid that is necessary to seal the deal.

Take the boarders and the African Americans out of the mix and Prep is as Catholic as Gonzaga is. [/quote]
