2010 elite camp?

[JMart]

can somebody explain the significance of this?? tia

It's just 1 more opportunity to get high-level recruits in your town, on your campus, and in your arenas/gyms. No we didn't have a 100% success signing rate with all the prospects we brought in for those in the past but I don't think the added exposure ever hurt in a particular player's recruitment. The elite camp also brings in a lot of quality HS, Prep, and JC coaches for instruction which can only help build/strngthen connections.

Based off JMart's comments, I have to wonder if the much talked about, but nothing done about yet proposed practice facility plays some role in not having the camp this year.

Pretty good insight on this one...

it should be noted that the NCAA's rule about hiring people connected to prospects to work camps has actually ended the practice of Elite Camps at some universities

i can see this.

This was actually the first thing I thought of when JMart posted.  Our staff may certainly be lazy, but this contributed just as much/more to not having the elite camp.

I think we would be better off to have MCC host a AAU tournament as to have an elite camp.

Currie has done more work in regards to the practice facility in one year than Tim Weiser and Bob Krause did in 3.5 years, on top of being left with a host of financial issues, contract issues, lawsuits, and personnel issues by Weiser, Wefald and Krause . . . with the conference realignment issues on top of that.   

I can tell you that right at this very moment the conference issues are putting a major crimp in the basketball practice facility process because of all the previously unscheduled meetings that have had to be called due to the conference shakeup.   Those unscheduled meetings due to the conference issues have canceled other important meetings related to the practice facility.

obviously well worth it if the penalty money/increased tv revenues immediately go toward the facility. 

i don't think the currie dissenters have much to work with right now, he's done a solid job his first year.
