From what I have heard from people involved in the game this year, there is a TON of disorganization. Rosters weren’t put out until a week ago, whereas in years past players were made aware 2-3 weeks in advance. Rosters have been flip-flopped, even at the banquet on Wednesday. It’s unfortunate because the kids deserve to have a great experience. I saw SAHS play and thought Cruz was really good. I would say that Randy Villegas from Saddleback had just as big a gripe as Cruz, though. Cruz is a better explosive athlete, but he had far more talent around him than Villegas had at Saddleback. Antoine Johnson was the best player on the floor, but if we’re talking about Cruz, we may as well talk about Villegas. Similar numbers and had superior head-to-head stats.

Julio received his scholarship because he has a 4.3 GPA and scored 1850 on SAT he has earned everything coming to him because of hard work and effort. Also can’t dispute his numbers, 18.5 ppg, 7.0 rebs per game, 2.5 assists per game he shot 63% FG and 53% from 3FG he deserves to be in the game and he was nominated

Some of the athletes on the roster do not deserve to be there.

If a coach doesn’t nominate a kid, or he does nominate the kid and the kid has something else going on obviously he may not be on the roster. Anyone bother to see if any of these all-world players are playing in the Top 100 Showcase on the same day? Instead of getting all worked up maybe contact your coach and see if the nomination form got sent or if the kid has aunt Bessy’s funeral to go to instead.

Canyon wins CIF Div-III by beating Santa Margarita and pretty easy I might add. Not one player gets selected to an All Star squad from the CIF Champions, Canyon High School? However, Santa Margarita CIF Runner’s up get two players selected? What’s wrong with this picture???
