We are fortunate to be in a state like NC that has so many good colleges within a 4-5 hour radius. Kids in this area should not be going without a good offer if they have a good game. Imagine how diffucult it could be for a similar kid in a state like Maine or Wyoming. This is also one of the advantages of playing high school basketball in a private setting which allows you more exposure outside of your city or county.
