[QUOTE="IlliniBrave75, post: 1712155, member: 71073"] I guess all those discussions in the recruiting thread about Glenbard West giving Sierra Canyon a game should look at the enrollment... I mean as big as Glenbard West is, they should have destroyed Sierra Canyon. I mean they only have 1100 students. /s The argument isn't about enrollment. It's the recruiting part that changes everything. Private schools being able to bring in kids from anywhere vs public schools being limited by the boundaries of the school district. The enrollment means nothing if you are picking and choosing who you bring into your school. Based on their ability to compete with much larger schools (teams with muliple D1 basketball recruits), I would imagine that there are multiple players that are enrolled in the school based on their athletic ability! Small towns/rural school districts don't have that same luxury. If a really good athlete goes to the school, it's because he/she lives in the district! [/QUOTE]
