[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Winter Escape happened.  Warhawks did well.  Wolves and Alpha did not.  Alpha did better than Wolves.

This is why this thread is useless. Too many people commenting on things they don’t understand.

Winter Escape is not a tournament you win or lose. It’s is a recruiting showcase and there is one age group. There are too many unknowns to say one team did well and another did not. You simply can’t compare teams at a showcase like Winter Escape. [/quote]

I’m sorry when a team only wins 1 of the 4 games it doesn’t matter that there a mix of players age group or can’t score in 2 of the 4 games.  If they want to play in college they need to be good since it is a showcase.  The reality is the players this go around at some of these clubs are not strong.  They may think they are but showcases like this prove it.

If you don’t want to look at WES, look at NITQ and the number of teams that didn’t qualify etc.  When you have u16 teams qualifying in u19 over existing u19 players for certain clubs (NL), it tells you which clubs are strong in which years.  Also, the teams that qualify at Meadowbrook and KY most likely would not qualify if they competed in the PA area NITQs.  Look at the local clubs that qualified in PA.  Those are the strong clubs.

WES is not about winning. Just because a team doesn't win doesn't mean it doesn't have good players. The college coaches are looking at the individual player. An individual player may only have the ball a few minutes of each game. It's what they do in those few minutes that matter.

NL had teams at Meadowbrook and their two U19 teams that qualified were a mix of U16 and U19 players. I'm not saying their U16s are not good enough to qualify on their own, but your statement is false. I don't know of any local team that sent all their qualifying teams to PA - maybe a club that only had one team at qualifiers. At any give NITQ a great team can fail to qualify because they end up in a pool/location with other great teams.

I don't know why people are so bent on tearing down local players and clubs. [/quote]

Have you been to WE? We have. It is about winning in the sense if your team wins, you’re probably playing better and showcasing yourself better, and getting more looks. [/quote]
