[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, it doesn't happen at Gonzaga.  Gonzaga just recruits from all over the DMV and Annapolis and Frederick etc.  And how many of their star football, basketball, and lacrosse players are 1-2 years older then they should be for their grade?   Quite a few, I assure you.  Just like SJC and DeMatha you say?   If you are a regular kid who could have played football or basketball at Gonzaga 30-35 years ago, now you can do crew or cross-country.

The whole things stinks and not just at SJC and Gonzaga.  [/quote]

Different poster, but vigorous recruiting is not the same as the sort of corruption/self-dealing OP and the baseball posters are describing.  You know going in whether a HS recruits heavily or not, and can choose whether you like that model or would prefer a different one.[/quote]

Exactly.  And in case you didn't know, Gonzaga, 2019 WCAC Camps, has a varsity coach who also serves a math teacher and director of summer learning programs.  No conflict of interest there.  What SJC is doing is unethical.  It makes it crystal clear to me where their priorities lie, and it is not academics.
