Yet, they ask that you formally apply online, with club recommendation and game film, yet, they don't always review all the applications, which is fine, but just say that.

The same can be said for Juniors Open and UA150, though. 🤷‍♀️I heard of many families who sent film that wasn’t reviewed.

How would they know that the film wasn't reviewed?[/quote]

You upload to youtube and mark it private and send them the link only. [/quote]

All of these showcases want film but most of the time it’s never reviewed.  Best in class, UA 150, Juniors .  They all claim to review but it doesn’t happen [/quote]

BIC
He goes to the "top" clubs and asks for a list of their top 5-10 players. He fills over 50% of his BIC summer with these players. He then will take 1-2 from the non traditional clubs, with diverse locations in effort to continue to spread BIC regionally and nationally. His only goal is to attach his brand to the top players of that class. He then also promotes these players in other ways, through social media, through other all star events, etc. Its not about evaluations, its not about development. He's not looking for hidden gems or underrated kids. He wants the kids with brand either by club or by last name. Not to mention his weekly training sessions he does with the top local clubs in Baltimore.

UA150
This brand has really fallen off in recent years. It directly competes with Juniors. They will take what they can get. Being a Robinson Sports promotion, it will pull heavy on M&D kids and those kids are likely to get team MVP awards. There's a huge drop off in backend of players at this event. They will take kids from any club and place to fill the rosters.

Juniors
Basically stole UA150s thunder. They pull better top end talent then UA150  but just due to the amount of invites, the back end is pretty weak in terms of talent. The plus is, they do great on social media and at the end of the day, the top kids in the class will be there.

Are these money grabs? Depends what you want. If you want exposure and resume building, you get what you pay for. End of day, its a chance to have your kid play lacrosse, meet other kids, get exposure. BIC is the best of the bunch sole reason as it has less invitations. its not different than a college football All Star game choosing Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio St kids only. You will get talent. Now will you miss out on the Josh Allens, Zay Flowers, Travis Kelces of the lacrosse world, yes, but again, that's not the goal.

Great analysis.  I'm surprised you left out AS and All America.

I believe the BIC weekly training sessions are open to anyone willing to pay the $$ to do them.  It is pricey so it attracts more serious and committed players that are already good.  He has done a good job building the BIC brand.  But he does deliver in the sense that BIC does pull the best collection of talent compared to all the other events.[/quote]
