Are these nominations for 2013 and 2014 graduates? Or, strictly 2013's?

Sorry 2013's and 2014's. Sophomore and Juniors only please.
Sorry, Only 2013's and 2014's. Also NO cost for this showcase. You must be nominated then picked to play.
bump....also looks like Oakley took over!?
I went and watched to see what this was about, and this tournament last year had more talent in one place in the state of texas than i've seen in a very long time. Several future first rounders and top 5 rounders. Its free!! There were coaches from pretty much every big 12, most sec, and a few pac 10. Top ACC schools there as well. Several kids hit 94+ on the mound, and several kids crushed that fast pitching, even the texas sophmores. If you know anyone that can do that Recommend away!

Thank you for the bump Ricky. Yes Oakley stepped up to the plate as the title sponsor. It is still the Battle of the Borders "Oakley All-American Game" And its still free for the players. We have our 150 recommendations from the scouts this year. Also in 2014 it looks like Colorado and Utah will be involved.
Great event. First class all the way. Jake got to attend this past fall and, as a parent, I can say you need to go if you get chosen. Competition was first class-as good as you see at a national showcase. Tons of scouts both pro and college. Cade and his people treat the boys great. Keep up the Texas tradition as we won it all!
Agreed!
I think there needs to be an alumni tab on the website as well. Some more ideas for the website would be to probably add past year winners, past year mvps, past year all tournament teams. For some reason when I click on the website I cant find the all tournament team anymore. Also would be cool to have some event records, maybe like MPH or HRs, Avg, ERA, or even HR derby champions every year. Just some ideas.

I am biased but I kind of like that idea about past year MVPs and all-tournament team. It is nice to see who has played in the event and to see the number of big names that were actually present.
