[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is pretty funny on the basketball part. Sidwell is good at boys basketball because they recruit Takeover and Team Durant to get 1-2 kids a year - grades don’t matter at all if a top player in 9th or 10th wants to come over. This isn’t homegrown talent from the Sidwell program with few exceptions. [/quote]

The student needs to be able to do the work. The faculty and administration are not going to pass kids through academically. So your assumption there is pretty insulting. These kids have busted their butts for years honing their craft, no different than a musician or actor...and, they are good in the classroom as well. Who are you to make such outrageous assumptions?[/quote]

The point is that Sidwell brings in a couple of kids each year outside the normal admissions process for basketball so parents feel better about the athletic programs and then parents deny this is what is happening. There is a reason that basketball is the one program that is good because a couple of recruits each year can make the difference. Football would take 10-15 recruits each year at the very minimum.
