[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not really about race.

Depending on where you're coming from, you may be unprepared for the level of competition at the top-tier basketball schools in the DMV (a handful of public schools, the Catholic schools and private schools like Rock Creek Christian).   This is among the best areas in the country for basketball talent, so, for example, Wilson High School (a DC Public) was #15 in the USA Today NATIONAL high school pre-season rankings,  yet #3 in the Washington Post LOCAL rankings.  The privates all recruit kids, and I know of a kid whose family moved here from Sweden to play for a top local team.

Lots of teams have many AA players, but whoever can play can make the team.

Are all sports like this or is it mainly basketball? [/quote]

Volleyball is like this at Oconnell at the varsity level. Coach recruits from his gig being a club coach during club season. He already knows who will be on his varsity team way ahead and many don’t bother trying out. It’s a shame as it takes away from the community feel of the team when you keep recruiting in to perfect your team . Like they said before, it’s the profesionalizariib of HS sports. At least in private schools. Anything to win. [/quote]
