I do agree in principle that national rankings for HS teams is a ludicrous undertaking.

Would you care to re-read my original post? I was asking
questions, not making inferences. I was looking for the thoughts of others, not making a statement putting down the program. I posted an article that did make inferences. I was wondering how much truth there was in
his inferences.
My own personal thoughts are that this is a recruited all-star team and certainly not a normal high school program. Whether that is good or bad is up for debate.
Btw, coach, did you happen to read the recent series run by the NY Times on the many high school diploma mills/basketball factories? The ones that the NCAA are currently cracking down on? What are your thoughts on those programs?
