Reply to "Standing out at a showcase"

Coach May ... What percentage of showcase teams in your area hold tryouts versus invite the talent they know? If the team holds tryouts what percentage of the roster is mostly a done deal before the tryouts?

The reason I ask is in our area my observation is players are invited to be on a showcase team. Other players may be invited to practice to be quantified before being invited to be on the team. Even the one program that holds tryouts is likely to take a good percentage of their previous 16U players. But being on the 16U team isn't a guarantee of moving up to the showcase team. One program throws most of their 16U team under the bus for stud recruits at 17/18U.
