Just received notice that my son will not have to apply for the 3d Blue Chip 2015, first round automatic invites going out soon.
We recieved the same. We will decline this event for several reasons.
First we went last year. This event is an evaluation/instructional event only. No stand alone recruiting value.
The instruction last year was consistent across all grades. Don't expect to take away much educationally the second time around unless your kid is a slow learner. It is a great opportunity to get reps but there are plenty of cheaper options.
During the event we were given the impression by several players that they were pre-ordained selections to JR. Those boys all received JR invites regardless of how they played. Connections count very much, don't be fooled by what you read on a website. Afterall, this is 3d we are talking about, read the posts on their other evetns such as fl$ 3d
We are waiting for the direct JR invite and are looking at other options in case it doesn't come.
My advice is that if you want to go to Florida in January go to Disney the lines are short in the off season and you will spend less money
