The Dark Side of Prep Schools

Consider me surprised no one has posted this yet.

This story reached my feed because it involved one player Illinois State was formally recruiting, and has since backed off. The Nation is a newer prep school in Florida, led by major Don King like hype man. ILST had made a few trips down to the school with apparent hopes to establish a pipeline. Abdou N'Diaye (whose final five schools were UNLV, Ole Miss, Wichita State, Georgetown, and Illinois State) completed his prep career there, and is redshirted at ILST this year.

Yesterday, one of the kids ILST was recruiting published a video on YouTube of self proclaimed "CEO of The Nation Basketball" program, berating his player and going as far as threatening to send him back to Haiti.

The audio is incredibly disturbing and NSFW.

If Woodbury remains at the helm, I'd be surprised if college coach steps anywhere near his program. Its disgusting, and I hope all of the players wise up and transfer out. I believe three already have.

I believe ILST is still recruiting former Nation SG Idrissa Bivens, who has announced his transfer to a prep school in NC. Any school, ILST included, that lands these players, should anticipate a RS year to qualify.

I think it's unfair to call the thread "The Dark Side of Prep Schools". This isn't a Prep School thing, this is a terrible human being thing who happens to work, or did work, at a prep school.
