#7: How can players be mentioned as being on the Cadet team when tryouts haven't even occurred yet??

#8...So let's see...how is the Canadian Cadet team is going to leave off one of the best just-turned 16 year-old kids in the world(Andrew Wiggins) and up-and-coming 7 footer(Tanveer Bhullar) who can ball and will go High-Major D1 and one of the top PG's for his age playing stateside(Kevin Zabo)?
Let's just be happy that we have so much talent that the head coach can name ONLY 3 guys that will most likely be on the team. Of course there will be tryouts and/or a training camp "lovethegame" but it's safe to say those three will be on the squad. Book that!

Tend to agree, in that it would be very surprising to not see those guys on the final cut, they are for sure among the best, but it just seemed surprising for the coach to name names before any of those camps or whatever happened..speculation by us, writers, etc, sure that's understandable..if that makes any sense..

Also remember that Andrew Wiggins played last year on the Cadet team so it shows commitment to the players who did work for Canada last year to be rewarded with a spot on the Cadet team again.
Everyone has their opinions "lovethegame" and as I always say great to share both our viewpoints.
Go Canada!
