12 out of the 30 kids picked are from three teams Ohio State, Penn State and U Penn. The coaches are from three schools Ohio State, Penn State and U Penn, 4 players from each of those schools were selected. That means only 18 players selectors from all the other schools. Coincidence??? This happens in all tryouts even at this level. They are all deserving players if you think there's no bias your nuts.
Ok, stop whining that your son was cut, the best kids at the tryout were picked to continue. If your son stood out,he would still be on the roster like the others that clearly did. Go back and watch the game, you will see. Some traditionally good kids had trouble standing out for whatever reason. Get over it!
My son did not try out. I'm simply making an observation based on the numbers. 40% of the kids selected were from those three teams. While they may all be deserving you can't dispute that the numbers suggests bias.
Look at it this way of those 40% of the kids that were selected from the top 30 only one of the schools finished 2015 in the top 25. If you look at 2015 recruiting classes only one team Ohio st. was in the top 10. Upenn and Penn st were much lower. There are biases at all levels. I rest my case. No sour grapes here just pointing out the facts. Interesting also is the fact that each of the coaches chose 4 of their own kids as well. Not 3 or 5 but 4 each .
Do you think if Tillman, Starsia or Danowski were coaching this team that they would only be two kids from Maryland Virginia and Duke........really now!!!! Same with North Carolina Notre Dame and Syracuse .....give me a break
