can't. St Joe's is pulling kids from NJ, PA on that roster. It's tough to compete against that as a public school. To think that St Joe's team a few years ago had Trotter (starting MLB at Clemson), Marvin Harrison Jr (starting WR at tOSU), and Kyle McCord (starting QB at tOSU) is insane. I'm sure there were some other kids from that team on D1 rosters as well especially the kids in the trenches as they were huge. Basketball is a huge advantage for the private schools too in PA. In the various PIAA classifications, the private schools dominate for the most part as state champs. Only once in a blue moon a public school pulls it off and wins it.
