Usually college recruiters already know whether they want someone long before the camps. Very few just show up, surprise the recruiters, and get offered. Unless you have improved tremendously from the last time you attended the camp, what will be different?
The secret to being recruited by your dream school is to have many other similar schools that want you. People make mistakes by only caring about which coaches are at an event. It doesn't make any difference if those at the event want you. News travels like wild fire, if a bunch that saw you want you, another bunch who weren't there will also want you. They then will figure out how to see you. Always best when that happens.
Best of luck
I have no idea why things are underlined
This is brilliant. Most kids -- and parents -- would think that the schools they are interested in are the only ones they want to talk with or get in front of. But PGStaff makes a great point -- "If a bunch that saw you want you, another bunch who weren't there will also want you."
In the high school football recruiting world, SOME kids use this strategy via social media. One Power 5 offer can turn into many just by creating a little social media buzz.
I understand that football and baseball recruiting are different but the ultimate goal is the same.
