Tennessee Fury is one of the top 16u teams in the country. Based somewhere near Chattanooga, Tennessee, I think. For the same reason sarge doesn't want to travel, teams like Fury from the south also won't want to travel. Texas teams may prefer a local hellhole to traveling across the country. That is why ASA will have solid championships despite PGF. PGF will have the better top competition not because the weather is better, but because we all prefer to stay home and CA teams generally are the top of the pile. The notion that just because PGF is in Huntington Beach everyone in the world will ignore all else and rush here is short-sighted, which is why I hope the overall PGF product is high quality.
As for the college coaches, most D1 schools have assistants. Just because a school sends a scout to PGF doesn't mean that school will not be represented at ASA. I am quite certain that most of the schools on the PGF list also will find their way to Chattanooga, just as they found their way to College Station last year. I just fear that PGF is starting off with the the same level of arrogance that IMO has caused ASA's problems. And most of the posts on here seem to suggest that nobody is concerened, because after all we get to stay home.
