@JRudd_Scout @FlatgroundApp I couldn’t disagree more. The Bruins are not looking for guys that lie to their coach and skip out on their High School team. There other ways to be ready for them summer. This is not the one I would suggest.

For young players, or any player, who has a desire to be the best... Consider this: - instead of trying to be the best, be the best at getting better! - getting better is both an art and a science that is worth learning. "Get better at getting better" as I like to say.
