    The problem with this is that so many kids get recruited to play at the rich schools, so its hard to get a real correlation between income and talent. You would somehow have to find the neighborhood every kid is actually from to see the fast/slow strategy distribution. Its also weird that rich private schools like Mater Dei and Bosco are actually in lower income neighborhoods, where I assume most of their students do not live.

    Neighborhoods gentrify and degentrify but institutions oftentimes stay put. I don't know anything about the dynamics of Mater Dei and SJB, but I know this is why some of the nicest privates (lol!) in Memphis are in the hood.

    Hmm. Mater Dei is a rich school in a poor neighborhood. Hmm. Why do their studs always seem to go to USC? Hmm, what is the correlation?

    The way gentrification in LA is working is that in ten years the LA versions of backthepack will be claiming they're straight out of Compton or from the LBC. While the fast-strategy kids will have dads with two-to-three hour commutes in places not served by the light rail line.

    In pulling up some of the data that I couldn't bulk download I noticed that the tuition levels of the Catholic high schools in the area vary widely. Some of the better football programs are, not surprisingly, at Catholic schools with very low tuition. I think it is fair to assume that they also provide tuition assistance to some especially needy students good football players.

    Some of them charge $6,000-$9,000 per year for tuition, which is a level that is at least somewhat accessible to middle income families. Others are in the mid- to high-teens. For reference, tuition at Eastside Catholic is around $30K.
