Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2837048, member: 6620"] :confused: ??? I was very much trying to focus on how Archbishop Mitty and Notre Dame have very similar missions as academic institutions affiliated with the Roman Catholic religion. That may or may not have some bearing on her decision on where to attend college. Recently, Notre Dame has had success recruiting two players --Danielle Patterson and Jordan Nixon -- from The Mary Louis Academy in Queens, New York. Arike Ogunbowale also attended a Catholic-affiliated school in Milwaukee. Did this help/hinder ND? Don't know, but it obviously didn't hurt. However, if you take a short drive to one of TMLA's rivals in Queens and look at their Hall of Fame, you'll find a different story. - Chamique Holdsclaw went to Tennessee; and, - both Tina Charles and Sue Bird went to UConn. As for the four folks you mentioned, my focus was on the academic institution they attended. And those four all went to public high schools (says the former Long Islander): - Grunfeld: Forest Hills - Schayes: DeWitt Clinton - Lieberman: Far Rockaway - Heyman: Oceanside If they had gone to Jewish-affiliated high schools, would their choices of Tennessee, Duke, etc. have changed? Who knows? Maybe if Brandeis had a big-time program or coach? In the long run, the affiliation may have some bearing...or it may not. [/QUOTE]
