No one is "hating" on the CPL - it's just a obvious fact that out of 60+ schools only 1 D1 player signed early - that's an insanely low percentage. What's also interesting is the only 2 other players from the 20+ private schools signed early (actually maybe only 1 - Clair/Leo).

Things like this do go in cycles - but considering that hoops by far is the predominant sport in Chicago, it seems there should be far more players going D1 than such a low #.

Some on this thread blame the parents for being lax, or students for laging off until sr. yr. But I've seen the inside of CPS as a student and parent and seen suburban school systems as both - and I say it's the system. There must make more effort to cerate true student/athletes. More emphasis on academics and helping kids to qualify - whether at witney young or crane or simeon or carver, von or senn, etc.
