Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4203499, member: 364"] Dags Basketball really gets you into the weeds of local lore - that kid played in the Suburban Council (I can't tell the uniform); but that's an outstanding resume. The point is that there are LOTS of guys who are great shooters in the region and AJ just did not get shooting form skilled. I NEVER said Fruscio was involved with the others. Second. Do you know how expensive Albany Academy is? He may recruit kids; but there ain't that many. IF ... I wanted the dominant regional team, CBA can bring in 3-5 in every class; there's no way Fruscio gives out many scholarships. My presumption is Jackson's parents saw what an enormous opportunity Jackson got at Academy; and he also is a great diligent student. That school does not want black marks on academics; they care what Harvard, Columbia, Princeton think and not what the hoop teams doing. Given the above: there is no damn way I would send my kid Andre Jackson (and then his brother) to Amsterdam as it probably is not ranked amongst the top 40 academic systems in greater Albany. City Rocks website. They have an incredible number of teams. Boys and Girls. And NOW, they are in every upstate city with different teams - Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany. At all different ages. It is a conglomerate. [/QUOTE]
