Reply to "Area Code Tryouts at Bentley College this Weekend"

Bob, 

i think I have read every area code related thread on this site through the search function, so I was pretty well prepared going into this as far as what to expect.  No I am not a pro scout and cannot see talent through their eyes, but without going into detail it would be safe to assume my son has had meaningful time with multiple pro scouts over the past couple of years.  My amateur observation was that as the day wore on, the drills and number of reps got shorter, especially for the hitters.  Perhaps the reputations of players preceeded them and that was sufficient.  I would estimate that there were somewhere in the range of 120 to 125 kids there, which strikes me as a lot to look at in one day.  For the Record, I in no way feel my son was short changed at all, I was very pleased with his opportunity and performance, and I have not talked to anyone who felt cheated.  I was simply asked my opinion on the day and gave the most honest answer I could. Perhaps I didnt articulate it carefully or put quite enough thought into it.  It was an honor just to be invited, and a memory my son will likely have his entire life.
