Curious about first wave of UA invites. Some great players on roster, but also a number of top teams bottom players. Were the top players not invited or did they turn down the invite hoping for JOs? Have they not applied to UA? Next wave of invites will be interesting. Also insane a player has one week to commit to an event taking place 10 months later. It’s like a door to door salesman pressure.
Not sure if we will ever really know. UA gave a quick turnaround on purpose to try and jump ahead of JO but I am assuming if you are a top player accepted by UA you could have leveraged an early bid from JO and therefore not committed to UA. Many girls in the UA first wave offers stuck in the middle/limbo worried that if they didn't accept they would miss out on both. JO offers came out today so I guess once rosters come out we will see where the top talent landed. Also take into consideration UA is much closer for MD families without overnight stays and although it is hard to believe if you are reading these boards, but not every player/parent thinks they need to sign up for every lax event offered.
