CTbballDad posted:Meads, given everything you just mentioned, I wouldn’t return to a paid showcase until the summer of 2020 at the earliest. You may even be able to wait until the summer of his rising senior year (if I recall, he’s a 2022) as he may need that time to get his metrics up to a college level.
Yes he is a 2022 grad, and we plan on not going to another one until next Fall.
As to waiting until his senior year to do another showcase. I seriously hope you are joking and that advice is not taken kindly.🤢 I plan on him returning to a PBR next Fall and every Fall to see how he has grown in his skills and talent. That is proper measurement, sir. 📣
I know my son isn’t in the top 20% and he has some growing to do, but being that he didn’t start playing until he was 14 against kids who have been playing since they were 5, he has caught up to and surpassed many. He is determined and works hard without me pressuring him. He has the passion and drive for this game unlike most kids who we saw yesterday at the showcase who didn’t have belts or clean pants or even tied shoes and many with no hussle. Some acted like daddies money will buy them a slot or a shout out. 🙄
