    Gonzaga has a Reclassified Player (and it's not who or what you think)

    An interesting article about "classifying down," a practice that is yet one more example of how competitive parents are working the system:

    Alright SLO, you got me to read the article. It was interesting, but the kid goes to Gonzaga College High School, and he has no connection to our Gonzaga.
    It's peanut butter jelly time!

          This is very common, particularly at the competitive high school level where football is big business in many areas. I know that TZF has been railing against this practice in his area for years.

            Which is not even Gonzaga University's Prep school, but a prep school in DC.

              Yeah, it is rampant in Texas.

                TZF has chimed in on this more than once.
                But we don't play nobody.

                  Is that one pronounced "Gone-zawg-ah" - I think it is, if one asks the locals.


                  It's a highly respected school.
