[/quote]  Good competition  They appreciate the workouts ;D

Dropout rate? basketball site ISN'T IT?

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1244789" timestamp="1344944991"] Nice try Dove-  Why dont you comb through all of my comments and find where I EVER said anything about Mr. Obamas birthplace?  Frankly, it doesnt matter to me-  I am much more interested in his economic incompetence.  Are you interested in the tax returns of the Presidential Candidates?  If you are, then, you are surely interested in the academic and medical records as well. [/quote]My bad Steve, I went off topic and will try and refrain from republican tactics. Now back to Jack Yates

Spoken like a true "birther."

I on't think you know enough of the history for the school. But I was only referring to basketball, since this is a basketball forum. 1. How many[color=red] HIGH MAJOR[/color] D1 grads have come from HJ & graduated? 2. How many low/mid majors from HJ'S program vs Yates' program? [/quote] I dont know of any HJ grads that played Major d-1 ball.  Now, please tell me all of the Yates grads who played major d-1 ball and got their four year degree. [/quote] Answered that already!!! Anthony Jones just grad from Baylor  ;) Got more for you, but obviously there is no need.......

And actually Yates has a Whose Who list of alumni, even if you take out the sports.

Nah,  its just "flipping crazy" when Yates is being mentioned as a basketball factory and and low academic performing school, ONLY!!! Now that's crazy.

They do have size and speed. They shoot free throws like a team full of Shaq's and Dwight Howards. Any given night a upset can take place! [/quote]Bring it on!!!!

Kountze would have to lose at least 190 or more students, about 48% of their total enrollment. That certainly will not happen. HJ will be 3A and Kountze will be 2A for quite some time.
