The Whole Truth, with his very ironic name, is making stuff up. Washington did not play O’Dowd, SRV, Monte Vista or DLS.

Uh, when did Washington play BOD? Also,there are so many kids playing out of their district it’s not even funny. Newark has a great coach, so naturally an athlete is going to want to go where he thinks there will be success. I wouldn’t be so quick to say Washington doesn’t recruit.What is considered recruiting? My son was talked to by alot of coaches in the Fremont area prior to high school, so I am curious as to why whole truth doesn’t think Washington recruits.

Let’s see this year Washington High has beaten, Bishop O’Dowd, San Ramon Valley, Monte Vista, lost a very close games to De La Salle, lost Castro Valley in OT, and lost to Fremont because of a terrible call. If Washington not a top 15 team who is?

P.S. They don’t even recruit #2.

i just came from chabot. I watched the san leandro vs salesian game, san leandro is a horrible team. No go to guy, just play sloppy. Salesian was nice, dominic artis is special. Also the o dowd game, they are best in haal, played physical against mack. Well rounded team

Coaches do not engage, directly or through agents, in uninvited in-person solicitation of business from actual or potential athletes or other participants who, because of their particular circumstances, are vulnerable to undue influence.

SURPRISE!!!
Newark is 2 – 0 and rolling over everyone in the MVAL. Again I would like some comment from the Newark apologist.
“So when illegal athletic recruiting or ( undue influence does occur), it often times does not come with a paper trail, leading to questions as to how it really can be controlled or even if it happens at all.”

This Saturday, Jan. 9th is a great opportunity to check out many of the teams that are ranked in the polls at Chabot College. The following teams are playing:

The 2nd Annual Gametime Eastbay Classic Showcase is right around the corner. Last year this event was sold out and the atmosphere was electric. This year looks again to be a memorable event with some great match ups. When was the last time that two of the most historically successful Eastbay basketball programs, Mack and Bishop O’Dowd, have played each other. This should be a hard fought contest and it tips off at 8:00 PM. We also get to see Desmond Simmons and his returning State Championship Salesian squad play an exciting San Leandro team at 6:30 PM. The following is the schedule for the day:

Saturday, Jan. 9th 2010 @ CHABOT COLLEGE
8:00 McClymonds vs Bishop O’Dowd
6:30 San Leandro vs Salesian
5:00 Oakland Tech (Girls) vs Encinal
3:30 Pinole Valley vs Deer Valley
2:00 El Cerrito vs Oakland Tech

Admission: $10 ADULTS
$7 STUDENTS w ID
$3 5 and under

This event will again likely sell out so arrive early. Many of the concerns that some of the above posters have in regards to the quality of many of the teams in the polls will be addressed with the above matchups. Come see these games for yourself, and all games at one easy to get to location.
