Reply to "How seriously to take this coach email?"

I agree, anything can happen but that school had better be a school you really want to attend. My frustration is when:

1. Kid sends school his summer schedule which includes well-attended events (WWBA, etc.) and lists national camp where school has at least one representative attending

2. School has the opportunity to see kid play in tourney (WWBA)

3. School's coach (assistant volunteer) sees kid at camp and tells him he is interested and asks if interest is reciprocal

4. School sends camp ($$$) invite

While it may be possible they ask him to commit later after attending their camp I am just unwilling to spend more $$$. Missed opportunity? Perhaps. But they had an opportunity to evaluate and it apparently was not enough or they don't trust their assistant coach (volunteer assistant). Either way it just goes to show that camps do get you seen but really are primarily money-makers...
