The "Showcase" fell short of my expectations--I thought there would be more teams from other clubs rather than the preponderance of CESA teams. I realize there were some last minute cancellations and the CESA teams are the majority of state teams getting ready for regionals but I still expected a better turnout with more clubs represented. For the younger ODP teams this was a chance to play together for the first time prior to going to region camp later this summer, so in that respect it was beneficial.
As far as recruiting goes, I'm sure there were college coaches watching the games but most of the "recruiting" I saw being done was by the CESA coaches of the ODP kids from other clubs--but hey, the kids are in their backyard and it is "open season", so why not?
