Oh really??? I think you're letting your ASA homerism cloud your good judgement. Just last year, we attended showcases hosted by USSSA and Triple Crown...packed full of D1 coaches. I don't recall any of them looking for or asking about sanctioning before they showed up. Presumably they'll all stay away from Premier's event this year too...cause it ain't ASA

Have you ever been to ASA 16U Nationals or any ASA Gold Qualifiers? If you where a college coach would you rather see prospective players playing in a glorified scrimmage or playing in the intense spirit of competition? Joe you are clueless if you think going to showcases is the ticket to college, those showcases are just one piece of the process. You have an axe to grind with ASA or anyone who disagrees with you, but there is no denying the vital role that ASA championship play is in the recruiting process.
Again good luck at VTD, USSSA, Triple Crown Nationals Nationals let us all know how many college coaches you see out there and maybe we can compare notes later!

Say Bro' Ho
Who am I to keep you from jamming your head up ASA's rectum. If you think ASA is going to get your DD that D1 contract then by all means, sniff around up there and say hello to Gotcher, Devine and all the geniuses who can't even put a decent website together, have yet to communicate an affective game plan for ASA locally and who won't hesitate to spread deceit and lies to protect the old, old way of conducting business.
Me? Have an axe to grind with ASA or you (that would disagree with me)? Damn right...and as long as you keep comin' back fo some mo, I'll be slapping your punk ass all over HB.
Bring it!
The more you type the more you show just how ignorant you really are. VTD has a great website, but what do they have beyond that? ASA has been around for several decades, and they have paved the way for all of these other outfits that you keep bragging about.
Like it or not Joey the best teams around the country go to ASA Nationals or at least try to qualify for because unlike these other awesome orgs that you keep bragging about, in ASA berths to Nationals are earned.
Premier is the one group that might give ASA a run, but for now they are simply giving out berths to about anyone that will come and they have a few qualifiers out there but what is Premier doing for 10U, 12U, 14U??? You guessed it, same as VTD, USSSA, Triple Crown not a damn thing
