In one of those cases, if we are on the same page, it will be very glaring. Most all of those offers are ghost and will never be real. .. And, no, I'm not talking about Blackwell. He is a legit Hi-Major recruit.

Hard to believe that. Scouting services in most cases do not call schools and ask if a kid has a legit offer. Schools will not call a kid and say "stop saying we offered you". When people see a list of offers most sites have posted one must remember that those schools listed are not guaranteed to be legit "offers". Sometimes those "ghost offers" are posted to generate buzz. In the long run, 95% of kids end up where they are suppose to be.

They don't seem to have these problems in Murfreesboro or Williamson County even with BA. It comes down to local governments period. How bad do they WANT to have great school systems? Also Ensworth, MBA and BA amongst others, only have a very small percentage of Metro Nashville kids. Think about it, Ensworth probably has 20 kids, MBA probably 10 or so in their entire system and BA maybe 30 tops. That's it and we're talking 7th-12th grades. Privates have very little effect on metro schools IMO. Furthermore, most inter-city kids (or middle class kids, which most of the kids in question in truth are) can't afford to attend MBA from PreK-12. I've never heard anyone say "Richard Bowers should have QB'd Hillsboro High to two state championships instead of Ensworth" or "Conner McDermott could have been the best TE at Hillsboro High". The issue is only raised in reverse questioning the merits of inner-city kids and parents. The "other" kids at these schools are also assigned to public schools. Food for thought: the best football player (Corn Elder) and the best basketball players (Elder, Jalen Lindsey) of recent years, played for schools inside of Metro Nashville. But, they are both are from Murfreesboro. Did that destroy the fabric of football and basketball in Murfreesboro? No. Not by a long shot. Nashville Metro schools, with a few exceptions, don't have a desire to be great at sports or education. If your child can leave for a private, one should surely consider it.

I don't think its fair for us to compare Bonds with Elder. The story is still being written on Bonds. As it stands now, it is laughable to compare the two. Elder's only flaw at basketball was that he is a great football player. He won everything a player could win. State Championships X3, POY X2, Mr Basketball nom X3, McD nom X2, 4X All State, nationally ranked, national AAU tournament championships, national AAU tournment MVP's - Gibbons, Prather, Ford. He did it all. Also he was one of the best on ball defenders in the nation**. CPA would have been much better with him of course. Bonds is a nice player. We should probably let his story play out before putting him shoulder to shoulder with Elder. Truly they are way different players. ** http://basketballrec...asp?CID=1426799

Wow. Y'all Celtics goin hard on my boy. Why? First of all this is Arthur McMillan and I play for Hillsboro High School. Y'all know me. The guy who they talkin about recruited me to play for the Celtics. He recruited Kedren Johnson and Ray Parks too. If you don't believe me ask Kedren and Ray. And to say he don't know nobody in the business is stupid. Not only did he recruit me for the Celtics but he at one time helped me and my mama find a prep school. He also helped me with my college recruitment. He'll do anything for anybody no matter who you play for. The head of Adidas and Nike call him directly for info. I know this for a fact. The GURU as you call him has helped a lot of kids find AAU teams not just the Celtics and he'll help other coaches find players. And if you really think he is trying to find a home for his son you don't know him. I know people who didn't even know he had a son that plays basketball. He was the dude out in the streets for talkin about the Nashville Celtics for years. Y'all petty. He keeps it real that's why we like him.
