The Brine Nationals are upcoming. They held the LI regional - but if you missed it you can attend the Connecticut or Jersey regional upcoming in 2 weeks.
We all know where the Brine event has gone when local coaches are involved in the selection process. What other events are out there.
Brine and JR are both good events for rising 9th graders.
Using other areas to get into Brine can work, but then your son's team will have to go up against the best of the island and MD. Making the finals with Brine gets a lot of attention. The college coaches of the teams that didnt make the finals were watching rather intently last summer.
JR is a great collection of players and top notch competition. Probably a toss up at this point if college coaches will attend it. There was a "boycott"? by many in "protest" of the early recruiting last summer, but it didn't stop a few from observing and given the significant amount of commitments it would seem that they will prob be taking a peak this summer. After that, Philly showcase is attended heavily by D1-3 coaches.
Sorry. What's JR
JR is Jake Reed Nike Blue chip camp The 3D program feeds it with qualifiers for the freshman season. About half of those are selected for the rising sophomore summer blue chip camp and another 1/2 or so must re qualify the winter In between. Some will say its a huge money grab (but what isn't in LAX these days?) Good competition in any case and exposure of how the higher showcases are apt to be run.
