I had heard there were politics involved with PBR in Illinois (If you don't play for XXX you don't get ranked well). I did not find this to be the case at all. (son doesn't play/won't ever play for XXX) - He went to one indoor showcase, and after that they would text him asking him when/where he was pitching, then actually show up to a few HS games and provide website coverage with recaps of the games and write ups each time (about him as well as other kids in the game from both teams) . PBR Futures Games was the highlight and a big part (IMO) of his final recruiting decision.
