This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A Link to Blue Star Media forTryout Information by dillon77
article on the Trials, written by Mike Flynn, owner and operator of Blue Star Media.He also provides links to his colleague, Mark Lewis, also of Blue Star.
By and large, he's impressed with the overall quality of players in Colorado:
"Looking through the roster shows not only experience with a returning gold medal roster of players but depth in positions that many who got cut last year are determined to steal away. Many of the taller players here have gotten older, smarter and more mature physically to take the banging. Add to that a plethora of younger 2020 and 2021 talent here and the future looks great now and for next year’s 2018 U16 Americas selection."
Besides Blue Star, check out Joe Fenelon – NYGHoops. He takes a lot of pictures on both twitter and instagram.
