12u Fall tryouts-Who are favorites & sleepers going forward?

[texmex45]

Hey POP, I do not disagree with the point you are trying to make, but you did say "They have yet to beat any one that I would say is a good team." I'm simply saying that yes, they have. Otherwise, your points are valid. Not sure why you are attacking Mizuno, but I'm sure you have your reasons and that's your biz.

Tex I stand corrected. They have beaten one good team. Unfortunately there was no info on the rained out event.
I don’t want it to sound like I am on the Mizuno attack I just tend to speak directly and after looking at who they played I was not overly impressed. I try and evaluate what teams everyone plays head to head before placing them higher up the list.

People are talking like they should be in the top 5??? If you used the rankings Louie put up a while ago at best this team would be 8 behind SJ Sting. I would honestly probably put them in the 10 spot where Louie had Boykin’s team before they became no more.

Fair enough POP. I am being totally serious here....you sound like the perfect guy (or gal) to take over for Louie. You have a good handle on the 12U top teams and good perspective on how to evaluate. So, we expect some updated rankings by the end of the week. Are you in?

Boykin and Sorcerers are no longer from the old list. I agree that KG, SJ Sting and Spartans are all above Mizuno at this time. I like TexMex idea POP! Someone needs to do it and you seem to have a grasp on the ever evolving 12u landscape.

Uhh... Well... Ummm.... Ya probably not a good idea to have me ranking teams. I am way to Bias when it comes to My own and her coach

I also have a bit to much dislike for a team or 2 to ever rank them. Not that I couldn't place them where they belong, I just couldn't handle sitting through watching them play.... I hate people who lie to their parents about the promise land they will bring if you play for them...

1st step is admitting I have a problem, right?? I choose to take this one step at a time...

Personally I was looking toward JBL to pick things up

I like the honesty Pop Time but I mostly like the hatred for lying coaches I've ran into some of them myself. LOL

Wow, I too like the honestly. A lesser person might have accepted the job and used it to grind their axe, but I do admire your honesty about not only being partial to your own team, but also having some issues with others. JBL, time to step in???

I'm the only dummie on here that used my real initials In my screen name. I don't have an axe to grind but my daughter is the one who puts in the hard work and I don't ever want something I say on here to adversely affect her. I think one of the things I liked about Louie's rankings was the calling out of the B.S. a lot of these coaches and Orgs put out there. I wouldn't be able to do that. But who ever takes it over can P.M. me and I will tell them who I think is full of crap. Haha. Tex Mex? You up for it. Also where is Bookend and New ASA? Lots of post pre tournament weekend but not much since. What was their take on the weekends events. Lots of great softball being played at the ball parks.

I always wondered if that was the Fireman

I agree with JBL. Besides the fall is so short and you never know who is just hanging out just for fall. You have a lot of situations that are new. What my or your oppinion is doesn't reflect anything. Yes it can be fun and yes I have shared my thoughts on rankings. I would say unfortunatly we have lst Louie who did a great job and I don't believe any of us can live up to Louies standard
