But if the talent doesnt play for a 3D travel team, does the tree fall in the forest and nobody hears it...

but at least you can go around saying you were invited to Jake Reed...wait ...a try out to be invited..

Really????

You are telling me that 50+ 2019 players from LI, not affiliated with 3d, had absolutely no shot of advancing?

What about the 2018,17,16 players from LI??? They were not 3d.

While I see your point, 3d does not have a LI/NYC/Westchester presence. NO ONE from LI advanced????

What about the new Great State Showdown? It is invite only. Who gets invited? It is a first time event. If there is no 3d team in NY Downstate, who goes????

The whole 2019 group was incredible and was fun to watch. I know of only 2 kids from Long island who made it so far. Both are great players and stand out from the rest of the crowd.

ONLY 30 KIDS TOTAL WERE BEING PICKED FROM EACH GROUP FROM EACH WEEKEND

For 2019 parents of players.
Outside of your travel/club program, what events are you sending your son to this summer.
Trying to start a discussion of what is out there and opinions based on experience.
Coaches from college programs want to see your child in clinic/skills/game evaluation sessions. How do you think this is best accomplished?

120 players were picked from ALL SESSIONS COMBINED. Meaning there was no limit on how many could be picked from each weekend session.

Let me clarify for MR ALL CAPS above. Ther was no quota for each weekend. It was stated very clearly that the best overall were being invited back. Nothi g to keep even numbers for each region. So forget the "30" number. Means nothing.

If it makes you feel better, my kid 2017, made it at your age it was a waste of time. handful of coaches.keep working hard he will, you people are feeding the sharks.

What coaches from Long Island were evaluating the 2019's. As a 2018 parent that participated last year the coaches involved during the selection process had a lot to do with who was picked.

Thats not what I'm telling you - there were a whole bunch of people there, whose kids do NOT play for 3D, who wondered if the selection process was going to be biased / 3d weighted.
Most of the tri-state kids I saw saw at my son's tryout were much better than the 3d kids I saw. Early returns seem to be that the 3D evaluators, for whatever reason (wink), didnt see it that way.

My 2017 son made it as well his rising freshman year. Not by any means the be all and end all, has been very diluted since 3D got involved. Still a decent event, but Maverik and Black Card in the summer,plus Under Armour underclass tryouts which coaches flock to, and Philly Showcase in the Fall, are more important in my opinion. And to be honest, if your kid is good and plays on a top club team, he will be seen even without theese individual showcases. If this is the case, do the team tournaments and a few prospect days may be time better spent.

Best accomplished by worring about it next year. So many new and different options out there. I do know of a dad who has put some lists together. Ask around I am sure he will share but not on here.

Only 6 3D guys were evaluating the kids. Coaches just coached the individual teams.

And about 1/2 the kids that attend the Camp in July are direct invited and don't have to go to the tryout in Florida.

Anyone still waiting to hear on Blue Chip?

Yes. My son was not notified yet. Anyone else? The website says notifications either way.

Were notifications sent out position based? G,A,M,D???

Looking back at earlier posts, direct invites go out without the expense of a FL weekend.
Additionally, no matter how many players were from LI, the 30 spots for 2019 midatlanic region could be filled with whom ever they liked best-it could be only 8 from MidAtlantic and all of them D-men, etc.

My son had fun and learned a great deal.

We got notified on Wednesday

A bunch of boys my son knows have not been notified. It seems like the only notifications that were sent out were boys that didnt make it.

All of the Maryland kids heard weeks ago

Hey stupid,
That kid from Garden City is my son, and sorry to burst your bubble, but he just turned 14 when he was down at Jake Reed, and he's actually a pretty good student as well. I'll send you a copy of his birth certificate if u like. Sorry if your kid is not quite as big, maybe see the Dr. for some growth hormone shots. And while ur at it something to calm yourself down a little bit, your turning green. That envy is eating u up.

Hey stupid, your kid is average.

Ughhhh. Stop. Not nice.

Has anyone received an invitation from Blue Chip to attend the camp this summer? Sounds like only declines so far.

We attended the Northeast tryout and someone on our team heard a no already but haven't heard of any yes' either.

Unbelievable!

This needs to stop. The name calling and the targeting of individual children. Please remember the kids do read this site.

Sorry but trying to find where anyone referenced your son. I have gone back a number of pages and the only Garden City reference is a player on the Duke team now.

I havent heard of anyone from the NE tryout that has gotten word yet

I was wondering that also maybe it was deleted.

There is a possibility it was deleted by HOP or Larry. I just wanted to review it to make sure. We will do our best to monitor this site and keep it from getting out of control.

I have heard quite of few no's from the NE tryout including 2 kids who were on my sons team.

Son received invite today. Everyone should receive response by Sunday.

How about adrenaline black card invitations?

They were sent a while ago, but probably still in process.

Came out end of Jan.

Black card had 2019 invites???

2017 & 2018 ONLY

Jake Reed invites came this morning!
