[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is saying something when almost the entirety of your basketball team shows up in 9th grade or later, and looks a whole lot different than the vast majority of your student body.[/quote] First, this is the nature of private school recruiting (i.e. 9th grade or later): it happens at most DC-area private schools in competitive athletic divisions. Nothing new. Second, the Maret basketball team has returned all five of its starters, so we are not talking one-year mercenaries here. Third, Maret has a diverse student body, i.e. ~ 40% of Maret's students are non-white. As such, the Maret lacrosse and baseball teams look "a whole lot different than the vast majority of the student body," so no need to pick on basketball. [/quote]
