That's fair..you make a good point.
I just think those were different times and the pitch of "come here and compete" was after we shined light on south Florida's talent. Back then our kids in Miami and broward didn't have the divaness they have now. They were inner city kids playing with a chip.
We gave a lot of kids the opportunity traditional power house programs didn't. They came here and dominated.
Thanks to our early success, the kids now a days in south Florida are being poached in record numbers which have lead to their diva syndrome. We need to do like the African national parks and set up rangers to stop these poachers from coming in. Shoot on site..starting with Nick Sabag.[/QUOTE]
I completely agree that diva "look at me" mentality is out of control. It's a reflection of society, driven by social media nonsense.
And even putting aside twitter, these kids get a ridiculous amount of attention on recruiting sites like this one, not to mention the hat selection videos.
