how has it been lacking credibility ?
Tim, what has happened is that to many of the male bb's think they are ready to go straight to USA's or National's and they are skipping the JR shows.
The Jr Nat's will still draw some top competitors trying to get some steam going in to the USA's.
However, the JR USA does not feed directly into a "pro qualifier".
Not to give away my age but back in the day you didn't dare go to USA's or Nat's without stopping off @ the JR shows first.
Thought being if you couldn't place top 1 or 2 at the JR shows you weren't going to fair well at the higher level.
So, hopefully some of these cats that are placing out of the top 15 or even 10 thru 15 might want to test the waters
@ the JR shows before making the plunge into a "pro qualifier"
Also with MD aboard some bb's might see the press in a major magazine as a reason to stop off in Charleston before they trek out to Vegas or Atlanta.
