<<Does anyone else find it strange that
someone would pick X school over Y school because of
academic competition? This isn't college basketball after
all.>>
Having played on the all-frosh team in question
last weekend, I can say that this is most likely not
the case.
Three of the players (including myself)
lived in Michigan and went to MI high schools (myself
from Plymouth Salem, Josh Crawford & Jeff Shattock
from Detroit Catholic Central). I decided to go to
Michigan because of the proximity and the price; it is an
amazing deal to be able to go to Michigan, one of the
best public schools in the country, for the in-state
price. I assume Josh & Jeff had similar reasons.
