You are way off about the kids from Manhasset. The best players stay in Manhasset period. It has been that way for last several years. There is no need to go to Chaminade. There is no advantage particularly with college placement and you play for your community. It doesn't get better than that. If a few go to private schools to stay back a year so be it. But the best stay and will continue to stay. Because no advantage exists elsewhere. The budget issue will probably not happen again. People were complacent recently and they learned their lesson. As for as the young man headed to Duke. He deserve all the credit. No one else.
