[quote=Anonymous]You also don't have a clue. 460 kids at a recruiting showcase is a Gong Show. NXT carpet bombs 5,000 applications out from NXT summer tournament rosters. Two sessions for 2017, 2018 & 2019 teams each with 30 teams. That is 60 teams per grade times about 25 kids per team times three school grade years equals -- by no small coincidence -- about 4,500. Throw in 500 more for club kids whose clubs didn't go to the NXT summer events and there is your 5,000.

Maybe everyone who got an application applied, maybe not. Getting the list to 450 isn't too hard to do when you can just call a few dozen club owners and say "you get this many slots for 2017, 2018 and for 2019...let us know"...the club guys call lacrosse dads like you and make you feel special saying they will push hard for your son to get a spot. And boy does that make Cabell, Ryan/Buller and Trig look like heroes when they excitedly let you know your son will be invited.

Or didn't it happen that way?

The NXT fall showcase is an excellent chance to go to Downingtown and get yourself a few beers at the Victory brewery after the "me ball" showcase you dropped a lot of money for. Just make sure your son knows to not pass the ball, otherwise his highlight reel play will never happen. I have no affiliation with NXT either...thank god.[/quote]
