The 3d Bluechip event in Florida and Arizona this coming January will begin on Fridays and involves extensive travel for nearly all participants. Most boys will miss a day of school and many will miss two.
This event is part 1 of the Jake Reed Summer event for anyone who does not get a direct invite to Jake Reed. If the IMLCA wishes to be even handed in its approach, and REALLY look out for the kids they need to instruct coaches to NOT attend 3d blue chip AND NOT attend Jake Reed!!!!!!
The 600 boys per grade attending 3d are only doing so for a shot to attend Jake Reed
If the IMLCA is serious about putting academics and student athletes first they should issue a statement to coaches to stay away from Jake Reed
Checkin is at 1pm
Field play begins at 3:30pm
Midwest region Friday 1/3
West region Friday 1/10
South region Friday 1/17
Mid Atlantic region Friday 1/24
Northeast region Friday 1/31
There are never any college coaches at the 3D blue chip event in Florida - It's not a recruiting opportunity in and of itself so it's not comparable to the deplorable behavior of the 175.
Deporable behavior?? You are nuts!!175 is a quality showcase and the organizers are top notch. They have done nothing wrong. What is deporable is the behavior of the IMLCA. the organizers will move on. The kids that were not able to attend now may have just missed what may have been a key opprtunity to be noticed. Bottom line
Also what does it matter whether there are recruiters at 3d or not. They have organized an event that interferes with kids attending school. Do you think that is deporable as well?
