The debate you are trying to instigate here belongs on your local high school sports forum. Not this forum.

I already know what's going on, not only in my local area, but also in my state.

Two long time Forum members, one from Northern Virginia, and one from Connecticut, started a two state discussion.

I wanted to see if there were similar issues in any other states.

This is an officiating website and you purposely left out the word "players" in your title to suck others into reading your post, knowing most everybody here would have bypassed it otherwise.

Absolutely not.

Anybody, including Raymond, after reading only a sentence or two would realize what the topic was about and simply chose not to continue reading.

Also, early on, when notified of such a poor title, I tried to change the title of thread, possible in most posts in a thread, but not possible in the first post of a thread.

Scroll up to my first post and see for yourself. I changed it, it just doesn't show up on the thread list as changed.

I do not, or course, receive any monetary compensation for clicks, nor do I crave any attention for my slightly off topic threads and posts. Sometimes I just like to write. It forces me to organize my thoughts. I started writing during COVID and discovered that I actually like doing it, something that I hated to do in both high school and college. Surprisingly, because I'm not very good at it, I can occasionally make a few bucks as a nonfiction author, mainly on topics of basketball rules and mechanics, Connecticut geology and history (state and local), and Catholic devotions.

Guardians Of The Game ...

Now that I've admitted that I accidentally offered too little information on my thread title, is anyone with an interest in interscholastic basketball seeing the same recruiting player problems as seen Connecticut and Northern Virginia in their states?
