<p>Momof2010, well if that’s true across the board, then it would make previous assertions that foreigners taking spots and money from Americans sound like sour grapes. My experience has been just at the high school level, where recruitment decisions are made, and I have not seen an overabundance of highly motivated and talented American athletes. In fact the top athletes get recruited early to top D1 schools, and the rest go to less competitive places and are awarded less money. That’s just competition, not theft.</p>
