BaseballMom:

One thing to consider is how much your son likes the school that has invited him. Is it a top choice school? If so, sure you can some up with an excuse about why you cannot attend an "invited" event, but it does send a message.

Another thing to consider is how limited an indoor showcase actually is, unless your son is a pitcher.

I checked the site at Blue Chip and when I click the listings of the schools coming, nothing comes up. Where did you get a list of the schools who are supposed to attend? Just a word of caution, many times some (but not all) showcases will put out lists, and they just happen to be schools invited, not confirmed to attend. You can try to check this on your own with the individual schools.

At the time my son was going through the recruiting process (2008-09), I was similarly unimpressed with the Blue Chip events being run in NJ. Things may have changed for the better over time...
