First, has your son compiled a list of target 4 yr schools? If so, has he contacted them and begun to work on getting them to see him?
My reason for asking is that you may find it far more cost effective and efficient to get to those schools camps and let their EYES get directly on your son rather than simply shotgun for good metrics on PG website and then hope that interest will roll in.
If he doesn't have a target of 4 year schools, then you really need to spend some time formulating your strategy and approach, then make a plan to execute.
Nothing beats the eyeball test and your best bet is to try and get in front of the eyeballs your son has an interest in. Even with above average PG metrics, teams are still going to want to see your son.
If his target is simply any P5 school, then definitely keep going the PG showcase route and hope to make a splash at a national level.
Targeting specific schools can be helpful, and if you are talking D2 and D3 they may not even be looking at PG scores.
Some school camps are small, some are HUGE. My son attended a low level D1 camp in October and I was shocked that there were less than 30 kids there! That coach took that list of under 30 and paired it down to a list of less than 15 and just sent out an additional camp invite for January. Could he have a thousand of these less than 15 kid emails, YUP! But he's happy to go back to the campus and speak with the coach again.
