But the best stay and will continue to stay. Because no advantage exists elsewhere. The budget issue will probably not happen again. People were complacent recently and they learned their lesson. As for as the young man headed to Duke. He deserve all the credit. No one else.
Every one of the kids who live in Manhasset who are going to play varsity for Chaminade this upcoming season would probably start for Set if they came back. And the budget cap will continue to be an issue according to Set's own Superintendent. Set will continue to be an above average (but maybe no longer elite on a national level) public school program thanks to the youth program and the coaches but they are not a big enough district to overcome some of the key losses to Nade year after year. It definately hurts the lax program. GC on the other hand is at least 2x the size of Set and can overcome their losses to Nade.
