Message: [QUOTE="orangefog, post: 2133288, member: 293"] I lived down there for a couple of years in the late 90's. I played at the Golden Triangle YMCA a ton. I couldn't believe how many great athletes there were in that area. Problem was, I don't think they were getting good coaching, because they were great athletes playing basketball, not basketball players, if you get what I mean. If the coaching has improved, I could see that being a great place to recruit. The other problem, was the educational system, at least at that time, was horrendous. Local radio stations would have drives every year to get everything from pencils and paper to toilet paper and cleaning supplies. I could see many kids from that area having a hard time getting qualified. [/QUOTE]
