The only thing I can say is that I spoke with 2 parents of 2019 kids and they were both told by the director that their sons already made the team after the first tryout. they were told they didn't have to go to the tryouts.
Not sure if they are full of it, but I guess we will know the truth once the final list comes out.
Are the players you're speaking about 2 of the best kids out there. I am sure you can go back and look at the same comments the past 3 years. The past few years they have seemed to pick the best representation for the island.
They may miss a diamond in the rough. or may give the 45th kid the 40th spot but I am sure it isn't that far off.
