He also said that La Lumiere Academy (high profile and academically high regarded prep school here in Indiana that has recently become a national basketball powerhouse as well) paid them $2000 a for Junior to attend. This has long been suspected of La Lu.
My son is a pretty good basketball player and two years ago his AAU team suddenly had a new teammate for the Indy stop on the Adidas NYBL Circuit. This kid, who is from Indy and had been playing with Team Teague (one of the top Indiana AAU programs) up to that point that summer, showed up with a small group of handlers and was the best player in the gym for the whole weekend. At that time I had no doubt that our coach, who I had concluded by that point was a complete dirtbag, had paid for this kid to play with us.
Fast forward to the last couple of months: That same kid had spent the summer playing with Cathredral HS in their summer schedule. All of the sudden as school was about to start it was announced that he was enrolling at La Lu.
The news today about La Lu and my previous suspicions and experiences have completely confirmed what I previously had only strongly suspected.
