2022 Open Period Number 2 Viewing Schedule

The 2nd open period of the 2022 Grassroots season is upon us.  After taking in the Twins with Crown Prince on opening weekend, I'm back to work with a full weekend of online viewing planned.  Teams all over the place this week.

  • Kansas City area has Prep Hoops, Under Armour and Recruit Look.  A ton of I-35 traffic from here for that.
  • Omaha/Council Bluffs is hosting a few low level teams.
  • Sioux Falls has their annual Spring Jam with some MN teams
  • Comets and Gain Elite are in Louisville for NY2LA.
  • Howard Pulley has their teams in Indianapolis.  The 16s are in EYBL play, 15s and 17s in the Hardwood Invitational.
  • Adidas is in Spartanburg, South Carolina with D1 Minnesota and J Sizzle playing.

There are some Minnesota vs Minnesota matchups out there.  The 7 AM Central time start on Sunday in South Carolina for J Sizzle vs  D1 Minnesota is the notable one.  Rise and Grind for that game.

Here's some of what I currently plan to watch.  All of this is of course depending upon technology cooperating.  Fishbowl TV is now on the clock.  And as Mike Tyson said, everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth so this could change.  While its rare to focus on 16s, I'm looking forward to getting in the 16U shoe teams as its not often they appear on my schedule.  My 17U focus will be on teams that I didn't already see in St. Cloud.  So teams like MN Chill and Fury Antl, you know what happens when I didn't see you already?  You just made the list!
