Why don't we recruit here? We are a Lutheran University.....
Sounds like a bad IPA.

Because they are the Crusaders.
FYI, some background........
LI (NY) LHS at one point in the 70s was the eastern version of La Lumiere and Donn Bosco. They were sending 3 of 5 starters to D-I places like Chapel Hill. They traveled all over the east coast for competitive games against schools like DeMatha in the DC area.
Seems like they are still a major factor in eastern HS basketball and recruit heavily in the NYC area for players. The NIBC* Varsity boys 2022-23 schedule showed 6 home games, 5 away games and 14 neutral site games. They also have Regional Varsity (play locally), JV, and Middle School teams.

2022-23 Boys BB 22-3. Final season ranking: MaxPreps #3 in the nation
2022-23 Girls BB 22-3 (beat IMG 67-34) Final season ranking: MaxPreps #2 in the nation
They're definitely worth a recruiting connection.
* NIBC - same league La Lumiere plays. In.

That's great. VU should have a permanent office on campus.
Do not let the name "Lutheran" fool you. LIL is a very expensive private school. It is not like any other Lutheran high school in the Country. I believe that a number of years ago it made the cover of the old Parade Magazine that was a part of Sunday newspapers.

Yup, high profile. A search showed that tuition-only costs are just under $20K. For comparison, exclusive New England prep schools are in the $45-$50K range (plus room and board if it applies).
First look: Kiyan Anthony's first practice for Long Island Lutheran High School (greaterlongisland.com) (https://greaterlongisland.com/first-look-kiyan-anthonys-first-practice-for-long-island-lutheran-high-school/)
Interesting that Carmelo Anthony's son, Kiyan Anthony is attending Long Island LuHi.
