Outlaws 2017 Select was short players a few weeks ago. Apparently some players were playing with their town teams at a different tournament. They asked a few 2017 Black players to play. This left the 2017 Black team short (they had some injuries and other commitments). Black had a difficult time fielding a competitive roster. Is that fair to the Black team? Does the Black team exist to support the Select team or are they a separate entity that is trying to compete at their own tournaments?
I don't blame a kid from the Black team for wanting to play on Select if asked. Who wouldn't? That's great for that individual player and they should take advantage of the opportunity. The problem is fielding a Select team at the expense of the Black team. That's not right. The organization needs to have a better contingency plan.
