I do not know many of these players. Are they all seniors? The ones I do know are 2012 grads and are deserving to be on the list. Any input from the coaches that know/ the coaches that are regularly on here?

Good thing they're crosschecking.
quote:As for every player on the list being worthy - I would disagree. I am not going to call out individual kids (not fair) but I personally know of at least 5 players on the list who didn't even compete last spring or summer due to injury or suspension. There were a couple others who are obviously living off of their reputations from their freshman or sophomore years because their 2011 seasons were completely unspectacular both in HS and on the travel scene.

...It wouldn't be that hard to check all district teams. Problem is, if we used that, we would be basing our list on someone elses opinion other than our own...

Their is no secret, simply attend one of the numerous PG events and perform. To assume favoritism or bias is a little ridiculous, but I think its safe to say everybody on it deserves to be on it.

Is it really that difficult to research the All-Region teams?
All-District teams might be a little tougher to find, but then again if that is your full time job, then it can't be that difficult.
There's this thing called the internet, that is pretty handy for finding that kind of information.
I completely agree that it is impossible to compare players from different areas.
If I were to do that though, the first place I would start would be the All-Region and All-District teams.

I presume it was directed at me and I will stand by what I said. He is negative on most every post. Even the way he brought up the omission was condescending. Attacking PG's efforts is a joke. Theywork their butt off to get it right.
MCH, if you are appalled, check his post history.

How hard certain individuals work and/or the quality of service provided were NEVER at issue.

The player is a pitcher from King George HS and he was recently well up into the 90s recently. As far as we know he is uncommitted at this time.
