Total scam. They all knew who was getting picked before the try-out, but for the $65, it was an opportunity to see where your kids stands relative to the pack.
My take, other than a very few elite, almost any kid out there can be replaced with any other kid...not really much difference among the pack.
Why they pitch as a recruiting event I will never know. Why would any college come to see a group of 40 boys (20 nassau and 20 suffolk) that have already committed?
My son got recruited due to this event last year. This year we are doing it for rankings. I suppose it is a way for the college coaches to see how their recrits stand compared to others. There will also be about half the team at least that is not recruited yet. Great opportnity for those boys to get noticed among the elite in their grade. I thought is was a great event last year despite a lot of the nonsense that goes on!
