How is it possible in a 4 class system for a school such as Yorkville Christian (Jaden Schutt's team) to be a 1A school? Don't get me wrong, I understand that their enrollment is low enough to be 1A, but there is no way that Yorkville Christian and your local small town public school are working under the same set of rules.
Yorkville Christian only lost to St. Rita by 8 points 111-103 - the same St. Rita that Illinois has a verbal commit from and at least one other player that they are recruiting.
Yorkville Christian beat Kenwood by by 7 points 75 -68 - the same Kenwood that has Dai Dai Ames an Illinois recruit.
Yorkville Christian should not be competing in the IHSA class 1A state tournament! My understanding is that their is a multiplier that is used for private schools (who can recruit) to determine what IHSA class they compete in, but this just doesn't seem right. In the past, I always thought that no matter the enrollment, a private school had to bump up a class from where their enrollment placed them. This system seems broke.
I feel bad for all those small school teams whose dreams will get crushed by a team that could probably compete for the Class 3A State Title, and probably should at least be playing in Class 2A.
