Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 2723076, member: 730"] We know the 35 invitees. [URL='https://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2018/04/wu17-invitees.aspx']Thirty-Five Athletes Accept Invitations to USA Women’s U17 World Cup Team Trials[/URL] In the article it was stated: "[I]It was possible for athletes who did not receive an invitation to participate in trials by submitting an application by April 3. Due to space limitations, a maximum of 115 applicant athletes will be permitted to attend trials, as determined by the USA Basketball Developmental National Team Committee. Athletes will be notified of the committee’s decision to attend trials by April 13, and [B]the complete trials roster will be announced in late April[/B]." [/I] On May 18th in the article naming the court coaches it stated: "[I]On April 10, 35 athletes were announced as having accepted invitations to attend trials, however, it also was possible for athletes to submit an application to attend trials, for a maximum of approximately 150 participants. [B]The complete trials roster will be announced in late May.[/B]" [URL='https://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2018/05/wu17-court-coaches.aspx']Court Coaches Selected to Assist at 2018 USA Women’s U17 World Cup Team Trials[/URL] [/I] Seeing how the 12 man roster will be named on the 28th of May I assume that "late May" was a miss print, but seeing how it's mid-May l I think someone dropped the ball as far as a list of the participants. And if there were space limitations that limited the participants to 115, how did the limit increase to 150? And further, how can the staff possibly properly evaluate 150 players in 4 days? Anyone have a contact at USA? [/QUOTE]
