Might be the best post ever on this site. Most of these top schools are loaded with kids that are nearly 20 years old or will be 20 by season end. They've been recruited to play at these schools from all over the country and Canada. LI publics on this list are made up of kids from one small town. Not even are remotely close apples to apples comparison.


Your exactly correct. It's not about comparing individual talent, the overall recruiting numbers are proof of that. Those private and catholic teams are what they are because of all the reasons you stated (heavy recruitment, Pg's, geography etc.) Taking that into account however, those teams absolutely play the game at a different level than the average Long Island high school team, and well they should. Watch a game and there is no comparison, except of course for the top few LI teams. When people on here start making ridiculous statements that the teams on the list do not come to Long Island in fear of being upset I HIGHLY doubt that is the reason.
