So why are Dirty and Triche not going to Portland?

[jekelish]

Chad Ford is running down the list of seniors not attending the Portsmouth Invitational, and neither one is going. Don't they need to take every opportunity to try to get noticed and show they can play?

Do they need to be invited?

I don't know if Brandon was, but Dirty 100% received an invitation. It's just weird to me that he would turn it down when he's trying to earn a draft spot in the second round.

EDIT: According to the DO, both were invited - http://media.www.dailyorange.com/20...skills-in-portsmouth-invitational-tournament/

This article from 2 days ago says that James accepted the invitation :noidea:

Maybe they want to finish up the semester and graduate.

In Brandon's case, perhaps he doesn't care to showcase himself until he is closer to 100% physically.

They turn it down because nothing good comes from Plymouth anymore.

If you perform, you were supposed to b/c the talent level is so low. Very few guys help their draft stocks at Plymouth.

If you don't perform, you essentially get knocked off draft boards.
