Is this showcase strictly to Chicago area players, or could Central Illinois players come too?
Yesterdays event went off without a hitch. I think this was a great event for everyone involved. Hopefully we can find some of these great players some schools to attend. While the snow might have kepy a few schools from commuting we had around 12-15 schools and a couple pro scouts. Overall this event was a big success and hopefully a springbboard to getting some of these players some money for school.
