[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless your kid is over 6 foot 3 tall as a freshman and decently skilled or smaller and a phenomenal PG they are not even going to get a  look at Whitman. Those kids have been playing since elementary and it's well known it's kind of rigged before tryouts.

Are you referring to HS coaches tracking players on local REC or FCYBL (in Virginia) travel teams? My son and some of his friends now play for year-round (traveling) AAU teams for better competition, so doubtful any HS coach is tracking them.

Competition is fierce to get a spot on many FCYBL teams (and AAU teams) with packed tryouts. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for coaches to evaluate such a large number of FCYBL and REC basketball players showing up at their large public HS tryouts. Must be hard for a player to really stand out unless he's above average height and extraordinarily skilled.
