If you look at the players that make teams, majority revolve around coach and coaches of teams. Not just their players but players they know or other coaches they know.

To me it looks like a tryout for no more than half of the team. The rest are already in the tank. Is my perception right??

And of course with MD teams the age factor is an issue too. My question is more related to actual picking of players


Well known fact. Many stay away from the Baltimore tryouts for this reason. Your estimate of half is conservative.
