I'd be mad too, if I was one of the real "home grown" kids, and I wanted to play, but instead was riding the pine, watching my coach bring in his AAU team. Especially if I was an upperclassmen, and sitting the bench for an 8th grader.

The only thing that is going to stop them this year or next is the TSSAA (unlikely) or a college snapping up Coach Maddux (more likely). I hope Mitchell gives them a good game but I am afraid I have reluctantly drunk the kool-aid and I am not sure Mitchell can beat them. And the crazy thing is the best prospect is the freshman. Not sure how the TSSAA can stop them, since there aren't really rules against middle school recruiting. Maybe the CPA administration will wake up and see that this team doesn't fit the athletic philosophy of the school, it is truly an assembled team, an AAU team playing in their school uniforms--certainly not a true school team. As far as the best prospect being a freshman, that's a bit deceiving since he's 16.
