I think a few kids picked their own jersey numbers. If you tell me there was no influence there you are crazy. A lot of colleges do watch so that makes it all worth it.


I thought it was run well. My son made it through to the final cut and he does not have any inside "connections" or play for a well known club. I saw some of the club "favorite" kids get cut who are committed top players. We will see what happens but either way well run for the most part. Was tough being there for 5 hours each day with final exams though!
