Why do we no longer get signees from Hargrave Academy?

We used to get a top prospect every year or so from Hargrave...I don't remember getting anyone from there over the past few years and am wondering why?....

The pipeline dried up and moved to Cass Tech.

They don't have the talent they once did. The NCAA implemented rules that essentially neutered the school. Kids used to go there to raise their GPA/ACT without having to start their clock. You pretty much had unlimited time to do that. Now you only have so much time (I think it would be like December at the latest) to raise your GPA. Don't know the exact wording of the rules, but it's something to this effect. So they don't get as many studs. You can search on rivals by year to get an idea of the effect.

Because it is only one school that all 100+ NCAA teams want a prospect from. One school cannot supply talent for all 5 BCS conference teams. Sometimes you win, others you don't.
Suppose it is like asking, why don't we get guys from Dallas Skyline HS anymore.....as opposed to asking why we don't get guys from Dallas.

I didn't bother to look it up, but from my understanding they no longer have a post grad football program.
