I'm not sure what things were like years ago but my kid been at Eds for 3 yrs now. Came out Muny League. Played in all that all star stuff Ohio team games... Back to that the only schools never out there looking for kids were Eds or Ignatius, the don't need too the standard to high. Other schools came hard but never ever those 2..learned why... Parents want to give there kid a chance in a good school and if the kid loves ball play the best with coaches that are college coaches that coach hs cause they love the game. But for your donor and all that, I'm a single parent scrapping by to try to make it, and keep him there. Asked for work program, anything to help and don't get it. It is almost impossible for low middle class but they work with people on payments, but always have to pay whethee payments or a big payment at tax time. I never once even been talked to about a donor or some scholarships an my son been able to play Varsity, that don't matter. His work is rewarded with playing time, not money off. It's not what ppl think. It's rough, but sacrifice will be worth it but I know for a fact they don't recruit or help any extra if u play a sports young, or can help them win, don't mattter. It sucks but it's ok, cause that the standard and it's the rules....people assume eds does all this....if ppl want to complain cause there is a education choice program that helps kids pay for private school if in a failing school district you got issues.....but there to me seems to be many more families well off...seen kids tiny as freshman a few years ago, now cause they up at 6am working and are required to work there butt off, the do cause they love the game and learn to take pride in school...it becomes a lifestyle that deeds success....at what point ppl stop talking bout money cause everybody equal and say good job to coaches an school for being a great standard that will make good men....and recognize a player is a player
