Absolutely, do PG and/or PBR showcases if it is beneficial to you. And for lots of kids it will be. My only point is that it is possible to not do a showcase and get to a kid's dream school -- and that in certain regions of the country it is actually quite common.

Just out of curiosity, I looked up the commitments of the current junior class (2018) to UCLA -- of the 9 commitments listed, 8 are ranked in the Top 300 nationally by PG. Just 3 of the 9 have done a PG showcase (and of course zero have done a PBR showcase, since they don't operate in California). FWIW, there is a 10th commitment to UCLA in the class of 2018 not listed in PG, and he hasn't done a showcase, either.

Is not showcasing the best path for most kids? Probably not. But it's not crazy.
