I took my 2 freshmen to a 2 day college showcase camp a few weeks ago but they didn't get to attend the second day due to a family emergency. There were around 150 or so kids so I figured at least they will get some reps and see where they stack up against the others. 

They went through their workouts and position workouts, the HC come over to one of my sons and told him that he was one of 8 that he wants to invite back so he can discuss what they have to offer. They didn't get to attend the second day due to an emergency at home, but we did stop on the way out of town so they could explain to the HC why they were not going to be there. The HC was not there but they spoke with the assistant and he said he would explain to the HC what had happened and he told one son that he had been marked down for an invite back to visit more. When we arrived home both of them sent emails to the HC explaining again why they could not attend the second day.

My question is, is this just a smoke show or does it sound promising? I have one kid excited and the other down because he was supposed to pitch the day we could not attend. Should they send their high school schedule and summer schedule to the HC or something else? Just not sure what to do next, never thought I would have to worry about it this early.

I think it sounds promising, although early. And ackward since there's all those rules about contact.

I would go ahead and send the high school schedule either to the HC or the recruiting coach, but then wait and send the summer schedule later. Two contacts instead of one. And also send some updates when your son knows he's going to pitch during the season if it's close enough for someone to swing by.

Might be worth mentioning with those emails or texts that "i enjoyed the camp on WHATEVER DAY and talking to you about future conversations. Looking forward to talking again soon."

Could help the coach remember who the kid is, guessing he talks to several.
