Hey any knowledge on College placement coaches? Son was introduced to one. The coach isn't big on showcase. Says it's set up for failure. Now a Prospect camp being held at a school son would love to attend. He's Had contact with assistant coach. But coach said not to put all eggs in one basket, that recruiting year tough. Also says he is a great player. Should we attend or not? Son wants to play ball for 4 years at a school that wants him.
Lot's if mixed messages
Is this college placement coach asking payment for his services. If so I would go another direction. It is hard work and can be a grind but there is plenty of information that this can be done on your own.
I agree with Ryno. If a showcase has teams attending that your son is interested in, then he should go. He should not go blind though, hoping to be seen. He should contact the schools and tell them of his interest and let the team know he is going to be at the showcase. That way they know about him and he is not just another name on the showcase list.
Attending a schools camp he is interested in is also a good idea. Same applies as above. Son should contact the recruiting co-ordinator and express his interest. That way they know who he is and that he is coming to the camp.
