IMG is an interesting school. You aren't going there to get an education. It's purely performance based.

Looking at those rankings. Savion Smith came from Tampa, Henry from California, Nauta from Georgia, Rahshaun Smith from Maryland. It's basically an all star team and will continue to be that way.

Isn't that a prep school? Not surprising. Prep schools are huge in basketball/baseball recruiting, so it makes sense that there would be a few for football as well.

Looks like they may win a game or two this year.

Yea it's basically a prep school. Independent school in FL. Can't play for championships, etc. But that's what it does. Kids from around the country transfer down there for their facilities and training.

Yeah, well if you're going to pay $60,000 per year to major in a sport in High School, it better be WOW.

Is that the cost of that place now?

I'm curious what school would even schedule these guys? Unless they have to schedule them, I'd take one look at the caller ID and find something else to do, and fast.

They originally started out as a golf academy... Was about 35K ten years ago... Great golf facilities...

2015 Tuition for a boarding student in football is $68,500, or if you just want the day program, $54,000. Why anyone would spend that much for a high school football program is beyond me.
