    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    Do we have any idea how good these teams are supposed to be compared to D-I teams?
    To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

      Can't wait to read the blog. This trip is perfect timing for such a young team.

        Fluminese finished top of their league last year (Tier 3)
        Americana plays in the Tier 2 league.
        Botofogo and Jundiai I couldn't really find much info on.

        For example, Atila Santos (former UNI player, D2 All-American at Minnesota State, and played on Bakersfield Jam of NBA D League---like Adam Koch last year) plays in the Tier 1 with Flamingo.

          In general, how good are these teams? It's hard to tell. This is the pre-season for the upcoming year, so no one knows how good these teams are. I did find out Botofogo is playing in the Tier 3 league this year.

              This trip comes at a really great time, with questions on who will redshirt and who will play right away. This trip will go along way with deciding who redshirts and who doesn't. I'm excited to see how they play down there and the season to come.

                  There will be pictures from what I've been told. When I get that information I'll pass it on. I doubt there will be box scores but maybe top point getters will be posted. The idea for this trip is to be able to play different guys in different combinations to know what will be a good fit come November. Obviously the ten days of practice are great and for such a young group it's extremely important. I wouldn't put much stock in the actual game results as the competition level will vary from mediocre to very tough based on the leagues where these teams decide to play. I'm not sure how familiar people are with club sports but teams will bump up and down leagues depending on finances,competition, and previous years outcomes. They can be pretty fluid...especially outside of European soccer. So, this should be a great test and challenge but it should be a great learning experience more than anything.

                    I think this is great for the team! I was wondering how do they finance the trip? I remember when Drake went to Africa for the football game they were taking donations and raising money for it.

                          Panthers won their first game by double digits. They had a really long day. Got in at like 7AM and played at 7:30PM.

                            That's more time than they spend in the area for some road games. Maybe not after a multiple hour flight, but they do some pretty short get there, walk-through, rest, play, get out road trips.

                            Anyways, good to get off to a positive start, especially with three games in three days to start the trip.

We made a mistake very on completion, some boys were afraid to finalise. It will be a good experience, a school of basketball different, with strong pace," said the technician of Jundiai Club, Leonel Menezes.
