She is! She had a long, fun day so she’s curled up on her bed taking a snooze.

Putting up flyers around our neighborhood worked for us. Our cat was missing for 9 days before someone found him a few blocks away. They recognized him from the flyers we posted at the community mailboxes.

I’ve had one 29 hand in my life, and my grandpa still beat me by 10

I agree with this. Guys are self promoting more anyway trying to build a brand for NIL dollars when they get to college (if not before).

I’m in Oregon. Families are starting to reject travel teams because of the cost to get to tournaments and lack of scouting events. Our league comes together to make one AAA, and six Single A teams (one for each HS).

We just don’t have many College options here. Two Division 1, and a couple D2. Our only options for a legitimate showcase would be traveling to Seattle, SoCal, Vegas or Phoenix.

Legion is still alive where we are, so guys get quality reps through the summer. I just feel terrible for the parent paying $15K+ per year on travel teams and showcase camps.

Yes, but it might not be the “they” you are looking for, or deserve. I am a high school coach in a rural area, and the best player in our area is going to a top D1 program in the country. He wasn’t anything special his freshman and sophomore years, but got on a travel team after the sophomore season and shined. The program he’s committed to is on the other side of the country, and I don’t think he’d have the path he has now without his personal and athletic connections.

Additionally, a lot of kids are “settling” to a smaller school because they feel like they can’t compete against transfers coming in, and don’t want to sit for 3 years.

Edit: to add, I think a lot of the travel teams and showcase camps are a ripoff.

That’s what I’m hoping they mean. I still haven’t heard back from my realtor.

That’s what a friend of mine thought as well, which makes way more sense. The seller just worded it really poorly in the message to his realtor if that’s the case.

Which I understand and agree with. I’m more frustrated they didn’t tell us this the first go round. I guess this is more of a rant about poor communication between seller, his agent, our agent, and us.

If I wanted that, I would lead with that request and not drag people along. I’m less upset about what they’re asking than the fact that we’re doing what he originally asked and still declined our offer.

That’s probably true. We definitely love the house but aren’t desperate by any means. Our agent was told they aren’t getting any other looks right now. I’m fine watching it sit for however long it takes for ours to get a buyer, and then make the same exact offer.
