[quote=Anonymous]Do the 8th grade and younger crabs parents pay attention to the games their kids play in? Do they not notice the lack of coaching? The difference in systems between Crabs and the other top teams? Do they not notice that their son does not improve year to year unless they are paying for training outside of Crabs? All the while they are treated like crap and their boys are beaten down and play scared unless they are one of the overage studs that everything runs through? There are a lot of good kids and families that still sign their kids up for the same BS year after year and expect things to change.
What is the definition of insanity?
Looking for a definition of insanity? Easy, YOUR post!

This is exactly the attitude contributing to their struggles....denial.
Struggles?...LOL
EVERYBODY in this sport who actually matters knows and respects the Crab's program.
From Timbuktu, to I don't know who - They have ALL heard about the Crab's.
And more importantly, If you're on a Crab's squad...then they KNOW you can ball.
Look forward to some good competition down in Chapel Hill in a few weeks.
See the rest of you scrubs come spring!!!
Crab Nation!!!
If you are looking for good competition it won't be at the UNC event. Mostly teams from Florida and NC. If they were really looking for good competition they shouldn't have played in 2 Aloha tournaments this fall.
Well excuse me. We are in the presence of greatness here folks and I guess you know the game better than the Coaching Staff at UNC??
You do realize the goal for most of these young men is to display their talent in front of D1 Coaches so they can get recruited to D1 programs?
Their ultimate goal is not to compete against whoever YOU (Joe Blow Phucknutz) says is good competition at XYZ play day you TWIT!!!
There is a reason Dave invited Crab's down, just like there is a reason Sean Nadalen is coaching the Crab's middle school box team.
Or are they simply uninformed idiots too Joe??
CRAB NATION!!!!!

When the college coaches see the some of the younger Crabs play, they will clearly see the 3-4 players that have D1 potential. That being said, the college coaches are quick studies. They don't live in the past as their jobs depend on it. Why do you think the MIAA high school coaches are helping run practices and clinics at the stronger clubs? Its survival of the fittest and the Lord of Flies. Exposure doesn't mean crap in the 8th grade and a play day is a way to get college assistant coaches paid. A college coach is not allowed to have contact with a player until their junior year. An eighth grade play day is purely in the observation phase category. How boys play in the 9th and and more importantly 10th grade will determine if they receive offers. Club owners who are focused on touting the visibility they bring to 8th graders are hucksters pure and simple. They should be spending their time coaching kids up (assuming they've stayed current) and developing all of their paying clientele not flying kids in from every State to win a B/C level tournament.
