wanttoknow,
I am not here to argue, but I think that you should read over your posts. Sounds like sour grapes, JMO.
That big something or other showcase is the PG Woodbat Tournament, not being able to name that event somehow tells me that you are not familiar with some of the more important venues in college recruiting and scouting. PGStaff is the owner and founder of Perfect Game. He really is telling you like it is, really.
Tournaments all over the country cost teams about the amount you mentioned, why do you suppose that is? Permits? Umpires? Insurance? Salary? Also we have played tournaments at all times, early morning, in the rain, in the heat, the cold and one time about around 12am due to rain delay. Never even thought of asking for money back, were those times not suitable for you?
350 dollars for a college showcase camp? What results did you get from that camp? You do understand that these programs run these camps to make money for their programs, not to find recruits.
The players last name is Hamilton, and everyone who knows and follows baseball knows who Josh Hamilton is.
The dirtbags ripped you off and so did another organization? Sounds like if you do not get the results that YOU are looking for you demand your money back
Maybe you should attend a PG showcase, then you can get an honest evaluation of your son and then you are able to know where is the best place to spend your money. Be prepared, they are expensive.
Try to expand your horizons past the ACC and NC. This would be in your sons best interests, I think.
Do some research on this site, which by the way has thousands and thousands of members, right now there are almost 200 reading at almost 2am (insomnia night). This site will help you to understand, I think that this will help you to understand teh recruiting process and how to spend your money wisely.
I live in FL and my son attended an out of state ACC program, so understand that you do not have to live in the same state to be recruited by an out of state program.
I am a mom (thank you keewart) and I think that you are too.
My son plays professional baseball.
Legion may be a great option.
Good luck!
