Changing subjects: What is IN and OUT for Christmas presents this year? Would love suggestions on gear, clothes, etc. for Christmas.TYIA!

I knew about Robinson sports being involved, but had no clue about the SW connection. There were 4 girls on current SW team at AS, 3 on Red. Given how SW has performed, that is even too high a number for any legit all star team, but 12 or whatever they have for UA150 is insane.

Did a lot of girls get bumped from UA150? Is that the problem? Just curious. UA and AS are the same dates so maybe SW girls decided to tryout for UA instead? I havent seen anyone coment that a qualified player did not make AU. Without that being the case whats the problem. Who's to say.

Robinson is M&D, not Skywalkers

UA 150 has quickly dropped into the APEX 60 category. Top girls are going to BIC and Juniors. UA 150 is nowhere close to the level of talent it was only 2 or 3 years ago.

Disagree. Looking at the roster for both at this age, they are very similar. Both are very similar on how they select kids. Only difference is BIC limits how may girls they will take from one team. This is good and bad, if you are on a top 5 team you may be left out of BIC even if you are better than some of the girls on other lower level teams.

This is first year for both and a lot of girls just didn't apply. UA150 is still a top event once the girls get to HS.

No. It's not. Wait til that third round of invites go out. Girls that can barely catch and throw make it. Robinson tries to invite girls from as many clubs as possible and it shows. When my daughter (a top 10 D1 school commit) did it, her team was absolutely terrible.

I know at least a half dozen girls who applied and haven’t been invited yet, and they are way more deserving than the SW, 3d VA Metro, and M&D shore players. And they might get left off completely bc UA will want to get girls from all over the country and will be mid-atlantic heavy already. There is simply no way that these girls should get an invite to this, especially in the early waves, when the supposed best players are taken. That is the problem.

You're confusing events. UA 150 and AS are not at the same time. All America and AS are at the same time and All America tryouts aren't until February.

Correct - Robinson (M&D) and Skywalkers (2 separate entities) own the rights to and run UA 150, to my knowledge.

UA150 is owned by 3Step, who owns M&D.
