Was at the New Balance tryouts this weekend. Great turnout from a ton of different clubs - BBL, LE, MadDog, Tri-state, Patriot, 2Knights, etc. Checked last year's roster - less than half of the kids who made the team were BBL.
Spoke to some folks that attended the Nike tryouts. Sounds like it was just a Leading Edge practice for the most part. Very few non-LE kids there.
If you're LE, I'm sure the Nike experience will be fun. If you're not an LE family, New Balance appears the way to go.
Fair.However, if there was a scrimmage score would be Nike 30 NB 3 right?
Hahaha. I love the [Censored] talk. There's actually LE kids on the NB teams too. If you take top BBL, Towermen, Tri-state, AND LE kids they are much stronger than a LE-only team. NB is the closest thing we have to a true All-NJ team. Last year an LE kid was the MVP of the NB senior game and there were other top LE kids on the team too.
Trying to positive. Last year at least in 2025 it was kids who couldn’t make nike at the other one. For the senior game both are good. But Nike is the superior event if comparing. Not sure what happened but Nike closed this debate years ago.
