I am not talking bad about them. I just said that JBS isnt strictly a academic school like it was started out being. They have some very good programs over there. If you graduate from JBS, you have a free ride at ALC if you want to go there. If you graduate JBS and ALC, ALC will pay for your graduate school. That is a deal that would be very hard to pass up. Just imagine graduating medical school or becoming a lawyer without having a student loan. All I am saying about it is that if it was a true academic school, then ball players wouldnt be allowed to be held back in their middle school like they are even though they have above average GPS'acompared to most schools. I just said it wasnt academics first and sports second.

And when people say that JBS doesnt recruit, I know for a fact they do because I seen and heard it all first hand. Believe it or not, even though they are a private school, that doesnt mean they can recruit like it has been said on here. It is easier to get by with it being a private school first, independent school second, and public school third. But all the same, it does happen.

I've seen it first hand myself. the_answer said on another thread "4 out of 5 have attended JBS for almost their whole life. The others have been there since 4th or 5th grade. I am not sure that is considered breaking the rules." Well get your facts straight. Brent Hall started JBS his fr. year, came from Knott Co. schools. Slone kid came to JBS his 8th grade year, came from Knott Co. schools. Nason Roberts went to JBS i believe his 7th grade year, came from Knott Co. schools. And, another kid I believe his name is Amburgey, went to JBS his 7th or 8th grade year, came from Knott Co. schools.
