Say your son was a top level recruitand had the opportunity to play in either the ARMY All-American game or Under Armour All-American game... which would you choose and why

Adidas vs Under Armour
Espn vs NBC
NFL Legends/Coaches vs HS Coaches
Skills Challenge
FLorida vs San Antonio
Army game history vs UA's recent haul of top tier talent
Overall Experience and etc.

The year LF7 was in UA game the talent there was unreal.
This year seems a little closer to equal talent at both games with perhaps a slight edge to UA.

Thoughts

I would let my son choose or encourage him to choose the one that most of his friends are going to in order for him to have the most enjoyable week possible. That's really what it's all about. Rewarding the kids for having great high school careers.

I can't make my son's decision for him but if it were me I'd go Army

yeah answer the question if it were your decision... I know everyone wants to be the good, non-controlling parent...

the only reason I didn't hypothetically say "imagine you are a top tier recruit...." is because I doubt any of us are still top recruit.

The all american games don't really matter at all. So whichever one my son wanted to go to is the one I'd want him to go to. Doesn't make any difference at all.

I'm an Army fan. And one of the kiddos I've worked with is going to be at the National Combine as a Junior. Pretty exciting.

Whichever one had the most talent, so I could play the best

I think you can make the argument the top 2 are pretty equal.

From a non SEC guy, the UA game seems to be a SEC centric game. OSU historically has a TON more kids at the Army game, almost like they would rather not play in the UA game

I like the production of the army game more, even if I think there is more "flash" in the UA game

Whichever one has the least swag. My kid is a real team player. A gym rat who brings his head and lunch pail to work everyday. A student of the game, who puts his pants on one leg at a time. Some even call him a coach on the field.

Always thought the Army game was a better put on production. UA game has always seemed way too much about hype and flash. I remember when they did a fricking rap concert at midfield one year in Tampa for that game and it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen
