You had your core 12 there? what do you mean missing a lot of kids? did you bring the wrong bottom 12?
There were some top players there, who did very well individually, just ask the college coaches that stayed for entire games to watch them and take notes. Others were not there.
If that's how you get through it!
Do you think maybe the coaches were watching and taking notes on the team that was beating you?
Again you take a shot at the team. When coaches are on the sidelines watching they will notice talent. If you don't understand that a good player will shine regardless if his team wins or looses you have no idea about talent and the recruiting process. So you think playing in front of 10 college coaches and your team might lose is a bad thing? Outlaws are playing in the right tournaments and getting their players exposure. That is the name of the game right now. Playing in Philly Freshmen this weekend. So far have played in all the top recruiting events this fall.
Some of your players will be in Philly Showcase this week. Not all. Could not agree more about the coaches if you lose a 7 6 game. If you lose 11 2, unfortunately, your attack is not getting a very good look. If you dominate a game as well, no good looks for goalie and defense. You want competitive games against the best teams.
At fl$ this past Saturday the team played well and all games were within reach. Those that were there will tell you that there were more college coaches at the event on Saturday than Sunday. Scores were 9-4, 5-5, and 7-4. Those are pretty tight games against some pretty decent teams like BBL Black, Triad Elite of NC, and 3D Oregon. There were plenty of coaches on the sidelines watching these games. Happy to say that my son was there and played well. Were some of the college teams we contacted to let them know he was playing there, Yes. Was I happy with his play, Yes. Did the team win every game, No. Did the team play well enough to have a few players noticed, Yes. Cant win them all but playing in great tournaments and getting exposure is what this year is about.
