Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 5313435, member: 10709"] I get where you're coming from, however from my perspective Monteverde and IMG don't develop talent the same way Australia's Centre of Excellence does. Australia's development strategy starts much younger where Monteverde and IMG are more focused on high school athletes. I don't believe they're charging $ 70K - $ 90K a year for tuition either. And in some cases, do these schools really develop the talent or do they poach players when they become really good? For example, IMG were able to convince T'yanna Todd and Deniya Prawl to transfer to their program. Agot Makeer did the same this past season as well with her move to Monteverde. However, majority of their offers and opportunities came about prior to their transferring through their development as part of Canada Basketball's programs. [/QUOTE]
