International Recruiting a Growing Trend in WBB

During my life in Puerto Rico, USA--I wanted to find out what those opposing Status Quo/Statehood (independentista's) wanted. So I went to their Headquarters and spoke with their leaders: I expected a bunch of laborers/dockworkers--about 6 of their top leaders graduated from Yale, Harvard, Princeton ---educated via US programs, obviously not Aid to Foreign student these are Americans. All spoke against Americans, it's aid to PR, it's subjugation of PR peoples and Latin people--all wanted independence--without thinking of how to sustain that alone. US education programs don't always end with foreign students loving us or our life style. Puerto Rican are Americans, brought up under Spanish law. (Fyi --while I was in PR they blew up a tv tower and machine gunned as enroute empty school bus)
True - same happens with the US students at US universities! :eek:.
But the vast majority do gain a real appreciation of the US system, and many try to figure out a way to extend their stay/get green cards. So many in fact that it becomes an issue with the foreign sponsoring agencies that are frequently subsidizing their studies in the US. We have been for years an overall importer of educated workers in medical, scientific research, and computer industries.
 
USF has two such players in the 2017 class.

I just watched the videos of Prieto and Serrat, and they look impressive. Good skills, athleticism, and basketball IQ.

If he can get his people healthy, USF figures to be a much stronger team next year. Pujol is the only significant graduation this year. Jespersen and Flores will be seniors, Laksa a junior, and Henshaw a sophomore.
