"being catholic is not a criteria for those calls."

A former STA basketball standout from the mid-90s was Baptist. He was an outstanding guy, good student, involved in STUCO and numerous other activities and quite a roll model student. But, he also was a three-year starter on the basketball team. Always seemed a bit interesting.
About two percent of the STA enrollment isn't Catholic. It would be interesting to see how many of those individuals are athletes.

Also, from a recruiting standpoint, when I was playing football in eighth grade, some Rockhurst freshman/sophomore football coaches contacted my grade school football coach after a game and asked him to try to talk me into going to Rockhurst. My coach wouldn't do it, despite having coached numerous other youths who went on to be standouts at Rockhurst. Coach told me about this during my freshman year of high school, because he wanted me to make a decision for myself.
Anyway, that's just some food for thought.

Either way, with regards to the STA program, they have done an outstanding job building their youth program during the past decade and the high school program has reaped the benefits year after year. They've done an outstanding job building a championship-caliber program. I have no idea if they recruit or not, but the kids there are well coached and well educated.
