Some thoughts about my first "Cardinal" showcase. I believe that at 60 teams the talent pool was extremely diluted. There should be some sort of selective process for teams that enter other than whoever pays first gets in. There were clearly teams there that were not showcase material and it showed with one score I know of being 15-0. That should not happen in a showcase. The only way a college coach can truly evaluate talent is to see them against similar/good talent. I saw and talked with several college coaches who walked away from some games for that very reason. I also think the scoreboards should have been utilized, if for nothing else but to keep up with balls and strikes. I personally like to see if a player adjusts how she swings the bat when she gets deep in the count. I understand that it wasn't about keeping score, but as we see from previous posts everyone was keeping score in their head anyway. I know the college coaches had booklets with very small fonts to see who the players were, but it would have been helpful to give the players wristbands to let people know what year a player was at a glance. It was a very lucrative fundraiser, but IMO fundraising was the main priority instead of actual showcasing.

The system works great! Thanks Rick for doing what you do. The only thing I would consider would be the DP/Flex deal, but I know that was the way Ray did it, so I don't blame anyone for keeping it that way.
