Anyone know anything about MTI Prep (Deerfield Beach)?

They signed a couple of kids from Pahokee

Damn how many kids transferred out of Pahokee?

It's a prep school.  Doesn't count against them for college eligibility and it gives them a year to improve grades and test scores.  Almost like a 5th year of high school

LOL...only 1 so far 

[SFL SPY]

How much does it cost?

Also, WHO ARE THEY PLAYING???

How will they finance travel expenses?

I really hope this isn't a scam...

I don't know anything about MTI other than what I have just read on this board.  However, as I'm sure most of you know, prep schools are very common up in the northeast.  The biggest obstacle facing a newly-founded prep school in the south would be scheduling --- because there just aren't very many of them around.  

There's a lot to be said for prep schools for certain kids . . .  kids that need to improve their grades, kids that are young/relatively small for their high school graduating class, etc.  Stick a "young" 17 year old high school senior in a prep school and give him another year to develop could make all the difference in terms of earning a college scholarship.

Derrick Crodup (Miami) and D. Crodup Sr are the HC and OC, from what I've found

Yes, ideal move for them because SR used to run a recruiting service.  He has a lot of connections.

Tunsil (formerly of Chamagnat) and Bill Powers (formerly of Jupiter Christian and briefly Jupiter) are also involved.

I thought Powers was at a Prep School in Port Saint Lucie?

That one imploded. Apparently a fly-by-night scam - an investigation is proceeding. Powers was coaching and not involved in the scam. I believe he has a pending lawsuit against them.
