I'd like to say something in defense of AAA. The majority of the kids I'm sure play ball in summer. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They all do not play on the same team...........................They do not all play on the same team.
[/quote]

Does that make it OK for Triple A to do what it does?
[/quote]What do they do? Call parents to ask their AAU kid to attend their school?

[BLUEDOVE3]

And poor schools like YES PREP (inner city charter schools) would not have a chance against the Houston schools. YES Prep barely could compete in 2-A in East Chambers' district.

Noticed in the article (read it b4-but thanks for rewind) several charter schools I have never heard of would be placed in higher divisions (sad).

I understand that you have been familiar with them but I am betting your familiarity has more to do with basketball than academics.  Therefore, please tell me what makes Triple A so attractive academically and why the basketball players come there only as a sidelight during their pursuit of academic excellence.  I have a feeling that this is going to be about the same as all of the Yates players ( including 40 transfer applications last fall) coming to Yates to excel in communications with basketball not being a major motive.

I guess its because I know the circumstances why he(King McClure) started the school. There was a need to offer inner city kids the kind of education they deserved. Kids learn differently. Some are better with smaller classrooms and less distractions. Its a positive learning environment. No, I haven't  been on the campus but I know Tim (AAA Director) who attended Notre Dame and he is all about academics too, as well as their sports program  ;)

Next!!

[stevenash]

So all of the D-1 prospects that are there are strictly there because they were undereducated inner city kids who were unable to learn in the public schools?

The system is broke and the uil needs to fix it.

Bluedove, how do you know so much about AAA, mclure, and the director from notre dame? Would it happen to be from experiences you had with them at AAU?

Corruption in HS basketball is due to AAU and parents who want to shop their children around. I remember a certain guard from the Houston area that later played at Arizona...how many high schools did he attend before settling down?

[/quote] How do I know them? Various avenues other than the AAU circuit  ;) Do you really want to debate HS vs AAU with me? Do you really want to[color=red] compare[/color] the behind scenes in HS and AAU with me? You may not want to do that, trust me!!

[/quote] Thats why they have schools like Julliard Prep for the gifted and talented. Same thing in basketball, tennis, ballet, gymnastics, Prime Prep, etc. The gifted & talented should compete against the best.

Then they ought to be in leagues/divisions. etc where they compete against teams who have the same "player acquisition" standards as they do instead of playing against those who are limited geographically.

[/quote] Never said I didn't agree with this. But this is why summer ball is more popular among the D1 players than  HS.  The best get the opportunity to play against the best.  Put all top teams in 6-A division if possible. But for right now just .............play the game!!!!! Lets stop all the "little johnny whining!!!"
