That may be but the best two players (C&P) are black. Not trying to make this a black/white thing. They came to Deal via OOB. I’m
pretty certain one lives in Shepherd Park but attended another feeder. The point was, the whiter and richer Deal becomes, the less likely they will be able to field a competitive b-ball team in future years. That’s a fact.
How do you know who is OOB? From my understanding only 2 of the top 5 players are OOB. 1 came from Hearst and the other no clue but, definitely not Shepherd.
I’m friends. Can we just agree about the premise of the statement instead of harping one details? Deal will continue to be a soccer/baseball school. Not football/basketball. I say this as a parent with a kid on the team.
That’s odd because for the last 15 years Deal has made it to the DC finals for basketball yet the pp said it’s a baseball/soccer school.
Again...I’m talking about the future of Deal. How is that so hard to understand? If some people will have it their way, Deal will look like Lafayette and Janney with IB upperclass white kids that are barely 5’ and 80 lbs in 5-10 years. If the pattern continues, Deal will have a hard time against raw athleticism and boys that play b-ball 5-6 times a week and are 5’10 and 160lbs.

No the boys didn’t. Think they only won by 6. Was just being funny because PP said they wouldn’t get past Hart.
Very curious to a pp comments. Were the top scorers Shepherd or non Shepherd kids? According to others only SP kids bring significant value to basketball at Deal. Do tell

Most people don’t give a flying f about a competitive hoops team at Deal. Now a competitive math team is a different story....
How many St. John’s, Gonzaga, DeMatha, Sidwell, and GDS coaches at the latest math team trivia? Mic drop
JFC, the only people on this thread (and maybe a couple others watching from the sidelines wide eyed like me) are those that made the team and those that didn't. PP is right the majority of the Deal population doesn't GAF about this, and what high school coaches might be "scouting" for talent. All of you arguing back and forth and the subtle identification about players is laughable and pathetic. The latest post about which players scored the most and their feeder school is just dumb at its core.

You must not live in DC! This is tradition and DC is known to put out the most D1 players. If no one gave a flying F then why is every private school recruiter sitting in the bleachers of competitive games? You are truly clueless and have fun with your trivial pursuit team.
