Hargrave Military Academy?

[LikeMike]

Can someone tell me about this place. They sure do have a lot of D-1 prospects. Were all the guys placed there by colleges for a year or two to make grades?

Do they have agents? Is it legit?

They've been doing this for years...usually place 25 to 35 post grad players in D-1 programs. Normally, these are students with marginal academics in HS...they work math and english hard to help them to improve.

Do I think college recruiters "suggest" to certain players that they try Hargrave: absolutely. Do I sometimes wonder who pays the bills: you bet.

It's a prep school. I believe almost all of the "student athletes" are on scholarship. Tuition, room, and board.

Hargrave's tuition for a PG year is $29.5K per thier web site. Times 50 players, that is some serious coin.

Very few PG schools have that kind of money, and I am fairly certain Hargrave does not. As I said before, that begs the question: Where does the money come from?

My guess is that much of the money comes from someone other than mom and dad. Who that may be is anybody's guess.

Isn't Fork Union the same but only a military school as well?
