Anybody going to the Impact Baseball Blue-Grey in Kissimmee later this month?
How about anyone who's been to it in the past? What can you share? What should the kids expect?

I guess my son is going to get a lot of attention if he's the only one there.
Don't get sucked in by B/G's promise of oodles and oodles of scouts and recruiters being present. We went to two events this past summer and they weren't very well attended at all. Even the lists they put out at the event listing all the recruiters and scouts present were padded.
I know everyone has their opinions, but are you telling me that they put on some good events and some bad ones? It was presented that the contact was made because of information from PG.

When I asked my son's high school coach for his opinion of the program, this was his exact response, "I have sent 5 players in the past to the Blue-Grey Classic and all 5 ended up receiving Division I scholarships. I think this was in part to the exposure they received at this showcase. I would definitely go." So, needless to say, we're going. I just made hotel reservations last night.
Blue-Grey Baseball - Wake Forrest Fall 2005
This was one of the best showcase type events our son attended in 2005. The team format, the coaches, and the exposure was every thing they said it would be. We saw good pitching, good offensive, and good defensive players with all all the teams.
Scouts in attendance each of the three days.......at least 25 out of the 65 or more that check in during three day the event. Colleges NCAA levels ranges D1,D2,D3, NAIA and JC colleges and even pro levels where in attendance and you knew it wasn't just a show of shirts as you find at other events.
Gus and the guys as BG did a great job at Wake Forrest. Well worth the trip from GA to NC for three days. Our son got plenty of notice and many contacts from colleges after this event

Our money is spent, reasonable for a showcase(if it really has the show), so I'll let you know my impressions when we return after Oct 22. If it's ****, we'll at least have a long weekend in Fla.

We won't be at this event. My Son did participate in a "Tryout" last year which was not bad. A good friend went to the Kissimmee event this past Summer and was very impressed with the number of Scouts in attendence.
