Will Bob Sugar be there?
How's this for an analogy: NFL Pro Scouting Combine.
It let's your talent be seen. You can't pick who's going to be watching.
Again... Novel idea. May work. May not. (They thought Christopher Columbus was a whack-job, too.)
There are pros and cons to this, I agree also.. Dont think we would need to police, I think the teams/organizations that agree to work together will be decent each other. When you are grading players, look at all of them, if you just focus on the 'best ones' you could miss a good one, bring your tryout grading sheets. get names, phone #s.. The family and player will decide the best place for their dd to play. To be honest, I cant see one of the 'bigger' organizations getting in this. This will fit the 'B' teams better because if the kid is that elite of a player she will just work out privately. This is more for the teams that will take a player that was cut by a bigger organization/team but is still good enough to play and make a difference. I have talked to a few different teams already. They think this is possible. After we get a good size list we will post it. Again, pros and cons to both sides. Thank you all for the opinions and ideas, even if you think this is a bad idea, you are giving good reasons and with that, helping us with ideas to avoid the promblems you have stated.
For us in the south still using aluminum bats can you get it broadcast on ESPN ? I might want to send a pony express letter to some kid. JK .. not quite sure what to think about this one.
I would say in meetings.. We would all go over a game plan for this. what drills to run, live or machine pitching... ect. August 10th is a great day for this because thats when all the kids will be out. point is why go to 1 tryout when you can be seen by 5 to 10 teams at once. Right now its 3 organizations in. When we get closer we will release the list. For other organizations thinking about this, take a shot, no risk no reward. We think it could be a great event for years to come. They always say the 1st guy through the wall gets bloody.. Im willing to be that guy for all the players, parents, teams, organizations and try something out side the box.
Maybe you can get the National Guard to police for the poachers. The automatic rifles may deter them a bit.
Kids as opposed to adults at the combine? I don't want to go there.
:lmao:I say "You started the thread - it was your idea, and now you want jdcII to run it!?!" What's up with that?
I elect JDCII to head this up! Some great comments and great ideas coming from this person. What do you say?
