Anybody going to this?

I honestly thought about it but I'm leaving for Vegas on the 1rst for my bday and to see the Lesnar-Carwin UFC fight.
 
just turned 30 and would love to go to this camp. But, $2,500 for a camp is steep. I wonder how many people will be willing to pay that.

Probably more than you would think, I've seen big turnouts for similar type things and even more money. Lot of big time Sooner names will be there.

I did an article on fantasy camps a few years ago. It's not on line or I'd post it. If I remember Coach K's camp was about $ 5000 and Michael Jordan's camp in Las Vegas was $ 10K.

For a camp that includes the Griffin brothers as well as others, $ 2500 isn't so much.
 
I know there are some folks who post on message boards who could afford to go to a camp like this. But I would bet that most of the people who attend this camp aren't posting on message boards.

You're somehow suggesting socioeconomic status in some way predicts message board posting tendencies? Or am I misunderstanding?

I'm saying that most people who can afford that camp have better things to do than post on message boards. :)

Yeah, they're managing their "portfolios" 24/7. Give me a stinkin break. I bet there are plenty of people on this board (as well as many others) that do just fine.

I would love to go, am over 30...but my biggest thing is I don't want to be in the lower tier of players out there. I wonder what the avg talent level is for a camp like this. I play pickup b-ball once a week and can hold my own in the shooting department...but no one is going to mistake me for a steve nash type.

Give me a stinkin break as well. I stated that I was sure there were people on this board who could afford the camp.

No worries, I doubt it's a collection of NBA level talent.

Oh you didn't hear? Me and Boca are playing. We are actually requesting to play the coach's. We were thinking me, boca, cheno, grace, edmond, and thebigabd bringing a scoring punch off the bench vs. Blake, Taylor, Hollis, Webster and Eddie.

I know I can flat fill it up and I think Play can as well.
That means Grace, Edmond and ABD just need to be role players and Boca can be our enforcer ala Mahorn/Laimbeer.

HAHA...

If by role you mean be the leading scorer and the one that all the other teams talk about...thats me...HAHA

But.....If by role you mean play defense...that's not me...(althought my laziness on that end tends to get me a lot of steals because they think i'm not aware of whats goin on around me)


Seriously, i would love to go to this camp but with another addition to our family coming in November i would have a hard time placing that in the budget without the wifey noticing...

Sounds like a lot of fun and would definetely give me a reason to train hard again...i couldnt go in there lookin like i do in these leagues i play in...sure i drop 30 a game, but thats mostly because it's hard to find someone that can guard a 6'6 guy on the perimeter in our league...

I concur on the defense, no chance I try on that end. I must conserve all energy (and cartilage) to go after the national fantasy camp assist record. Just make sure you keep your head up looking for the ball, I've broken noses. :facepalm

Maybe Grace plays defense? We need a shot blocker as well, goodole? Lexus?
