I heard it was a bit of a bust!
all the kids whom are at college level are already recruited or in the process of so only people in these events are the kids whom want to go play Div III or NAIA....probably better if they just stay in Aus and work on therer game!

They aren't allowed to talk to kids or parents. Showtimes Facebook has been quiet about so maybe it was a bit of a flop.

so is this another rip off from the guy who runs Showtime ? Seems that he has been doing this for a while now as well as claiming all the college placements others have achieved.
Claims Deng Deng to long beach state.
Totally different Deng Deng to the one that used to play here!

NO such person on the 2010-2011 or 2011-2012 roster.
What a load of BS !
Anyone know if Emmett Naar or Nick Duncan have committed to any USA colleges?

College coaches are too busy watching the summer AAU circuit in the USA to come out here and watch, and like Tiger stated all the Div 1 schools have pretty much finished their recruiting, except maybe signing up some last minute local talent.
I think you will find it was aimed at the kids for next years recruiting so the ones already going will be on their way in the next few weeks.
Speaking to a college coach who actually came to australia to recruit and checkout the Showtime event said it was very poorly ran.

The guys that run this have failed year on year in nearly everything they do. Of course it failed. The best U16 kids were away at the nationals and the rest of the best in Melbourne were at the U17 NITCP selection camp at Dandenong with the best coaches in the state.
