The real question is the coaching. Can they deliver?



Under Armour and its Team put this out as a tryout. It isnt in Baltimore as it isnt it most other places.
Its a AllStar team from the Region/area of players that the coaches and Clubs know plus a few spots that are actually open.

Look at rosters. Most knowledgeable people from that Region/Area could tell you over 50% of roster prior to tryouts.

All this still doesnt take away the great talent on the field. All Stars are All Stars usually for a reason.
