[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm quite sure this isn't the first time Metro has cut someone 6' tall if what they considered a more-skilled 6' player tried out.

Agree that courting a player that hard isn't really fair, but we have always gone in with attitude that positive feedback at tryouts is nice, but it's not an offer until it's a formal offer.  It is very easy to get hopes up, and I totally feel for that 6' player who was invited to invite-only clinics and went.  But people advised us early on: there are no guarantees. Believe it's a spot when you get that written offer, and not before then.  And keep your options open until you've accepted.  Sad but true.[/quote]

You certainly have the right perspective. But what makes this station unfair is that this player actually played for Metro last season. If she were not a returning player and was rather just a player coming from another club who was trying to make the team, I wouldn't feel badly. But to string a returning player along all the way until the day of the tryout, and then tell them they are cut...that's pretty dirty. That's the unethical behavior that is pretty common in the club world, but Metro is definitely the dirtiest of the dirty (on top of the unethical ways they go about poaching players instead of developing their own)).
