You can acquire all the info you need by wat...huh? You can acquire all the info you need by watching their shameful results. The only players that do anything are the ones who had skill before they got there. Don't count on anyone there to advance your player to higher levels. The goal is merely to develop their own and fatten their bank accounts with your money in the process. Anyone willing to spend 40K for a marginal public school that sits next to a crack house gets what they deserve.<br /><br />Anyone who spends five minutes doing their homework would never choose this drug infested school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885114977965967113.post-60647770559838735302009-12-27T12:13:28.049-08:002009-12-27T12:13:28.049-08:00Easily I assent to but I dream the brief should ac...Easily I assent to but I dream the brief should acquire more info then it has.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885114977965967113.post-86518750445514817832009-12-26T11:55:58.923-08:002009-12-26T11:55:58.923-08:00my son played there and it sounds like it is worse...my son played there and it sounds like it is worse now then when he was there. I would stay very clear of Alan and Andy unless your last name is Kerr you are going to get screwd and getting nothing out of the program.<br /><br />Please read this board very carefully before you decide to go there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
