    Czar...
    Don't sleep on the SW Wisconsin Swish. They have made very deep runs in the two tourneys they have played in. They also have the number 9 ranked freshman from Wisconsin on their team; Bryan Tordoff, Monroe. My Guess would be that they are top 4 team in the 15u portion of the tourney...

    Thanks for the info coach. Monroe has been a AAA (D2 in WI) power the last 2 years and I've seen this Tordoff name. It'd be nice to see him play.

    BTW, I haven't received an invite to your practice as you had previously offered. I'm still up to it if you are. How did your 15 Elites do last weekend? I seem to recall they were playing up a level in the ECI event.

    I'm also going to add in the WI Playmakers squad in Pool N. They have 2 of the top 25 Frosh in WI, 6'4 Paul Jesperson of Merrill (#15) and 6'1 Connor Olejniczak of Thorp (#24). Their site doesn't say they're here but with the pool slots and ??? in their schedule, I think I have this right.
