My son is politely telling coaches that he is going to focus on strength/conditioning/training in the fall, which is the truth. Understand the sell and allure behind the camps but think the extra time working on craft, giving his arm some rest, improving velo, and to just keep improving will only help. And then ramp up for a more full court press in the Spring. Just getting going on the journey, no need to get too crazed about it yet.
Sounds like he's a pitcher. Pitchers are a bit different. If your son has the goods (check velo's of the commits of the school in question for the last few years) then the school may actually be really interested. But then again, if it was the head coach that saw him at the multi-school showcase then I would imagine he's seen enough for this year. Keep in touch and they may come see him next summer. If it is was an RC that saw him then going to the camp is an opportunity for rest of the staff to see him, most importantly the HC. Again, if it's your son's dream school then perhaps it's worth it. But there is plenty of time for HA 2021's. Although you will see the Ivy's recruiting a few pitchers before next summer. And this can affect the AI for the rest of their recruiting class. Unless those stud pitchers also have incredible academics to go with their pitching skills. But typically they do not which means the rest of the recruiting class will need to offset those early commits. So if your son is a stud pitcher who may be on the lower end of the acceptable Ivy academic scale, getting early interest could be beneficial to him!
