WHY TOP COLLEGE BASKETBALL PROSPECTS ARE FORGOING TRADITIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS TO JOIN SUPERTEAMS

(The Josh Jackson story...)

"Jackson, a native of Detroit, plays for Prolific Prep in Napa, Calif. If you live in that area and have never met a Prolific Prep alum, there is a reason: It was formed in 2014 by Jeremy Russotti, a top basketball skills trainer who is based in northern California, at the suggestion of Jackson's mother, Apples Jones. Russotti has built a national power around Jackson, but he has not built an actual school. Prolific Prep has no physical address. Russotti jokes that the school is "a P.O. box and three cellphones." It exists purely as a basketball superpower. Jackson and his 12 teammates attend classes at Justin Siena, a Catholic school in Napa that costs nearly $19,000 per year. (Jackson received a scholarship through Prolific.)"

So, he received a scholarship through the basketball team to attend a local Catholic school. I wonder who provides that money. Any guesses?

First responder TILT.

This is basically what IMG does as well, except they have the school part.

Cut and paste from article.  Not going to waste my valuable time editing that for you turds.  Now, if I was up obsessively posting and stalking people at 4:00 in the morning, I probably would have edited it due to ocd.

In the time you took to respond and take a shot at another poster, you could've changed the threadline. Tanner is so in your head.

Any thoughts on the article? Or are you too busy tilting?
