Yes it is very flawed I will agee.So essentially you had 7 or 8 players on an all state team from Corbin and Lex Cath the 2 teams that were in the finals I think? It sounds more like they are picking an all tourny team.Another question as a rising freshman why would you send your son to a combine in San Antonio Texas? Its not the JR SR combine that is watched by rivals and scout.You would do your son a better job of promoting him if you got yourself in school camps(colleges) That way they can see your boy and you can start building relationships with people that can do him some good.The guys at these FBU combines are miiddle school coaches,dont let them tell you any different They get a free shirt and are able to get an ego boost by being around it..Next season when he has a year of high school under his belt then he may start looking at a couple different combines to help promote him.This combine and recruiting is no more than a money racket at your sons age.You can spend a enough money to pay your son through college trying to get a scholarship and believe me when I tell you he is to young right now.

We got a chance to play Corbin in the 7th grade state tourney last year. Those 7-8 players are no doubt the top 3-4 players in the state at their respected positions. So with that being said they are deserving of being all-state players. Yes I do agree with you that this is more like an all tournament team. All the question that you are asking this year is what I was asking last year.
Yes I aslo agree that most of these combines and camps at my sons age are money rackets, but from my experience with the FBU camp that came to Frankfort my son was coached by former NFL player Chris Slade who had a fine career with New England and did a great job with kids. With the knee injury I was unable to send my son to any college teams camps, but do have some in mind this coming year
