I saw on Facebook where Landon posted he loved the pic of his team at the Ballpark Village event and where his team from Lindenwood won the free trip to watch the 2017 Mosconi Cup.....by beating a team of basically 5 pros out of Memphis High Pockets. And to those of you that want to 'fix' the US team by adding Canada, note that Jason Klatt was on that team.
From what I see, Landon doesn't generally post much about pool.
But I've seen him play and his talent level is obviously super high. People talk about Thorpe or Josh to make a push for next year's Mosconi Cup. To me, the answer is Landon Shuffett. Someone inspire this young man to fit pool into his life enough to make it happen.
2017 Mosconi Cup team - Bergman, Sky, Oscar, Landon and then see who else really wants to play with them. If it is SVB or not, so be it.
Oh and Landon, not that you need me to tell you this, after college get a real job too. Pool in the US sucks, I am sure you know this. Just make it a hobby enough for us fans to watch the US win some more Mosconi Cups.
Justin--ummm Atlantic Cup. look it up.I was wondering about Landon Shuffett for the Mosconi Cup team too, and then I thought, "how about Mosconi Cup for team for players 21 and under"?
Maybe make the team captain Landon's father (I bet he could be a great captain), and then do a national qualifier for the best 5 21 or younger players.
It is just an idea.
Then maybe Europe could do the same thing (get together a team of their 5 best players who are 21 or younger).
I do think that Landon Shuffett would make a great addition to the Mosconi Cup team though.
I do not think it would hurt to throw the points system out, and give the young players a shot at playing in the Mosconi Cup.
Who knows, they might do better then the US has done for the last several years, against Europe.

Here is a picture of my gear, Jack! I will never use any other case. There is not one sponsor in this game that could treat their players any better! I encourage everyone reading this to check out Jack's website, get in contact with him, and have him build a case for you. Hope to see you soon, Jack! (That is a Mike Capone custom cue as well. Fantastic.)

BUMP
I know, I know .....he can get the 7 ball or whatever from the top players. But the top players aren’t winning when sent to be on the MC Team. Time to make a call to the bullpen and bring in Landon.
IIRC he doesn't play much now. Think he's going to teach school(?) or something. Kinda doubt he's tournament ready lately.I would bet that he would have just as much of a chance as any of the other US players on the Mosconi Cup team. He is such a strong player, with everything (all of the same fundamentals) that I see in the best of the European players. I think he would have a good chance, in that MC format.
