Sounds more like the "super talented kid" has more of an ego and attitude problem which is what keeps him out of the program, which would also show it comes from the family. There is a lot more to being an elite athlete than ability, attitude is a key factor.
Perhaps when they accept that whilst he may be talented there are lots out their that are also talented but their attitude is better, then maybe they can also make adjustments to his ego.

Any player doing that should not even get consideration, attitude is totally wrong.

As for those states that taken players from others when numbers do not provide enough from own pool of players, I find that ridiculous, if a state cannot find 10 players who can play basketball in any age group then they shouldn't be entering
