BADSANTA Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yates isn't a school most patents would drive their kids 20miles to attend unless he was a basketball star. Yates has 17 kids waiting on transfers. 14 are for basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's crazy.[/quote]I have no clue about their academics. However, the facts regarding their basketball program seem to point towards a lot of kids transferring to play basketball. I'm not accusing them of being recruited bc I have no facts to back me up. Do I think it's fair that anyone in the HISD can transfer there to play bball? No!! But, that is the rule, and nobody has been able to prove (so far) that they are recruiting. To believe a basketball player is transferring to Yates bc of academics is naive, IMO.

At the same time, I will also wager that a lot more of them are gainfully employed/productive citizens as well.
