I hate to break it to you but Brice Turang will never play for LSU he will be drafted way too high to go to college. I have seen the kid play he is the real deal

Breg broke his finger or something and that is why he was not drafted high.

may very well be the case for most of those kids that were in that game. They were all pretty good. It's just a matter if they want to have fun and get a good education which includes outstanding coaching at most of those schools I saw they committed to.

Do the travel ball teams have sponsors where the kids travel costs and entry fees are handled or are they paying for themselves?

Something weird like what happened to Bregman would have to happen to get Turang to LSU.
Turang stock is not going to fall like Storz did.
Plus Storz had some arm issues during spring that hurt as well.

Not really.

Bregman wasn't considered a 1/1 draft candidate out of high school.

Turang is. It's good to see LSU mentioned every time they talk about him. But he will not make it to campus. He's a shortstop projected to stay at shortstop.

There were positional questions about Bregman out of high school, shite there were positional questions about Bregman out of college.

Yes if he injures himself badly and miss the ENTIRE season then you are correct that might put him at LSU. So I will rephrase for the argumentative retards out there.

If Brice Turang doesn't get injured and plays the entire Sr. season of HS, the only possible way at that point that he doesn't forgo college is if he gets caught in bed with a dead girl or live boy

Good question I can answer that correctly for you because I am highly involved in the travel ball community because of my son.

So Team USA has 20 players on it, I can promise you that EVERYONE of those players gets completely comped by whatever Travel Ball team they are playing for and I mean all expenses tournament fees and travel, room, and board. As far as everyone else it depends on how good the player is and what kind of impact he can make which decides whether he gets comped or not. I would say if you are ranked in the top 50 you are good and prob in the top 75, after that it a player by player basis.

Yep. And it's a win/win for the teams that do it.

They bring along a top 50 kid to a big national tourney (think WWBA in Atlanta). In these tourneys there are at least 50 games a day all over the ATL area. So scouts pick and choose which ones they go to based off who is playing (individual prospects, not teams).

So if your kid is a not first 10 rds talent, but playing on a team that has 1 or two (or more) kids that are there is a better chance they get seen if they're playing in a game with elite level talent.

And sure not every kid is going to get looks from a pro scout, but that pro scout that was there to see a big name might see your kid. That scout will have mid major and small power 5 team coaching buddies that might be searching for someone at the undiscovered kids talent level.

A lot more kids are getting noticed like this than just your local scout seeing them happening to see them in a high school games in the spring.

Logistically speaking kids get missed all the time. Hell i know a couple kids from high school that we're basically unrecruited. They went to a small juco, tore it up, moved to a D1, killed it for a year, then got drafted in the first 15 rounds.
