[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people tend to only care about the A teams but I am curious what people's thoughts are on B teams this year? Recon still advertising they have spots? S2S B team will have A first showing, People are saying the Igloo B team gained some new talent. Thoughts?
Recon A isnt strong so not sure how a B team would Be? The benefit of S2S B and Igloo B is that they practice with their A teams, so they get solid coaching, and it’s like being on a scout team in college; you always have to “play up” to your competition in practice. Solid plan.
solid for the B players not the A players. Not a big fan of that .
Hypothetically; Lets fast forward a bit. One kid plays on 91 top team and the other plays on Recons top team. Now both of those kids enter the same showcase(s). Is it possible the kid from Recon may in fact receive more offers from top collegiate schools than the kid from 91 top team? I think it all depends on the schools needs and the individual. Take a peak at some D1 rosters, what's the average size (height/weight) of the smallest player, then do an overall average. Point
The player from an A team only has an advantage if he gets significant playing time, if he's sitting bench most of game and the player on a B team plays most of the game than who really has the advantage. If a kid is good than he is good, college coaches are not going to care what team he plays for at the individual showcases, better player will be noticed
You are missing the bigger picture . Practice is where the children really learn. To practice with children at or above their skill level makes them better.
Their are some clubs which their A and B teams don't practice together let alone scrimmage each other.
Yeah, they are not making the most out of their training and development of their farm system. I've seen B players move up to A and A players move down. It's a fantastic development idea. The pro's do it as well.
