Question: Can a JC player...?

Just - Yes he can, if that camp or showcase allows. I investigated this extensively as my son was considering doing a couple during the holidays. I did learn that very few JUCO kids do this as apparently their regular JUCO and summer ball provide adequate continued exposure. Again, I would recommend that the JUCO player ask the school, because I found some schools prefer to keep it to just HS kids.

Also, I found out that PG has a predraft showcase event in May. This might be a very good option for exposure for a JUCO kid - it's open to HS and JUCO age. My own son is probably going to do it and I think maybe Topdogfan's son.

As they say in Kentucky...You can make book on what lafmom says!!!

Thanks a bunch!

Fungo - Not sure why...was probably trying to think of something smarta$$ to say about Tennessee when it reminded me of my last trip to your great state.

We were in the AAU Nationals in Kingsport and had advanced to the final-16 where we beat East Cobb and then the Georgia Fighting Squirrels to get to the semis. An older gentleman was working to prepare the field and he looks up at me and says, "you put a good a$$-whippin' on Georgia today, didn't ya?" I was a little nervous being from California...didn't know if them was fightin' words or not. So I sheepishly said, "well we did beat a couple of teams from Georgia, but they sure were tough...sorry if we shouldn't have done that?!"

To which he replied, "Nah, we like it when someone puts an a$$-whippin' on Georgia...we don't much like them around heyah!" I loved that trip to TN!

Anyways, thats my TN story for the year. Please don't hit back too hard with any CA stories...we're too easy of a target.

LOL Fungo - I've never heard that expression in my life! I don't know if I've been made fun of or received a compliment. So, I'll just gamble and say thanks!

"Make book" is a horse racing phrase which means it's a sure bet.

Bookmakers make books... One who accepts and pays off bets, as on a horserace. Also called a bookie.

A bookmaker does not want to incur a loss! When he makes his book on a race, he sets the odds on each runner so that the money he receives in bets should exceed the amount he will have to pay out whatever the result of the race. As bets are placed, he will adjust the odds and may lay off some bets with another bookmaker. The bookmaker therefore does all he can to ensure that he makes a profit.

Lafmom, I gave you a very good compliment. Bookies make bets based on very good information. That information is called information you can "make book" on.

Justbaseball,
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Tennessee. Things have changed since you’ve been here. People in East Tennessee are not as friendly as they used to be. The “Big Orange” has had its juice squeezed! A$$ Whooping and Georgia are prohibited from being used in the same sentence within 100 miles of Knoxville. Can you imagine being ranked one of the top 10 in the nation at the beginning of the football season and then finishing 5-6 and not even being bowl eligible.

Here is a snippet of a news release from UT’s football program back in JULY of this year. They are trying to compare Auburn's 2004 undefeated season and failing to be the national champs to their upcoming season...(what a joke)
Tennessee has no comparable problem. The thrashing the Vols gave Texas A&M in the SBC Cotton Bowl, combined with a media-acclaimed recruiting haul second to none, has lifted UT into consideration as a national title contender.

Learn something new every day on the HSBBW! I wondered if it was something like that. Thanks Fungo!

You continue to crack me up Fungo. You are 'the man!'
