Yep. And [b]Large public HS coaches also recruit, or try to, but they have to be sly about it.[/b] That 7 foot kid who just happened to transfer in from another FCPS HS because he wanted to take German? He's getting one of those 12 Varsity slots. Or they talk to kids who were recruited to privates but are sitting on the bench not getting playtime and promise they will play if they transfer back to public. Etc. So at big publics, kids are competing against a few recruits as well. [/quote]

My 8th grade son is not tall but a very skilled point and shooting guard, 3-point shooter, and good enough to play for the higher tier MD AAU teams. He attends basketball camp at a large VA public HS every summer near our home but not in our school zone. This past summer, the varsity HS coach who runs the camp "recruited" him throughout the camp week, asked him to transfer to his school. My son said other coaches watched him play throughout the week. Varsity coach spoke to me several times and asked me to contact him once school started to discuss how he could transfer my son into the school (probably by declaring his strong desire to enroll in Basket-Weaving 1-4, only offered at that public HS).
