The politics of ODP speak for themselves. When it is in an evaluator's best ECONOMIC interest to be able to say "X" number of players from HIS club made holdover camp, does anyone here really think he WON'T promote his own at the expense of others?
In my opinion, club-tied coaches should recuse themselves from evaluating and promoting their own kids AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE.
Also, at the end of camp in Tuscaloosa, each kid should walk away with a comprehensive written evaluation, SIGNED by the evaluating coach/es. This would ensure a level of accountability currently non-existent in ODP, while simultaneously giving each kid a worksheet and plan for (dare I say?) development.
