Can anyone provide any information on any. of the Long Island boys who went down to this weeks last 3d camp (new England region)?
There was tell that a few (elite team) players were going to try and increase their odds by going down this weekend.
Why not play with the mid Atlantic region they are from??
your sad.
Why sad? (It's "you're"; BTW), The question remains: why take your so called very elite team players to try and get a spot to the JR camp via playing outside of your own very competitive region?
Has it not been stated on this forum numerous times that to be the best, you must play the best?
Is it not fair to claim that we have some or most of the best right here in our back yards on Long Island?
Why then, would one consider doing the above (scheduling "conflicts" aside)?
Which then, is sad; the concept being questioned or the actual participating in such backdoor antics?
what is sad is your accusatory undertone and attempt to discredit some kids veiled in what seemed to be a innocent question of how some boys did in the "New England" region tryout, which is a bit misleading as it's clearly called the Northeast region. You posses no facts of any kind regarding these kids situations and ignore many legitimate reasons kids would need to attend other regions (academics, family conflicts, illness, injury, etc)in your original post. As was mentioned in an earlier post the camp is more than flexible when accommodating these conflicts so whats the issue. There there seems very little room to game the system with the evaluation process they have in place and with numbers of spots you just can't fly under the radar. Now in the case that parents attended this region to allow there kids to stand out in some perceived weakness. I can see why you would be upset, they are obviously smarter than you.
Your blithering rhetoric not withstanding; it should be clear to your uninformed mind that the long island region falls within the mid Atlantic classification. Period. Thus, let the kids earn their spots from their own regions. yes, I know what the rules say...spare us.
Smarter than me; not likely by a far shot; deceptive and disingenuous....??? Much more likely. What can be said of you, he who points fingers and labels others?
Care to retort in an equally enlightened manner, pray tell? Methinks not.
