Goosegg or others, Thanks for info. Helpful.
If pursuing Ivy or Patriot, should a rising Junior also attend some big tourneys (WWBA16u, PBR16u at LakePointe, Boston Open, DN Super 17s) to get in front of peer coaches/ build awareness/ populate the databases w velo ?In addition, to attending the on-campus camps hosted by those various schools.
Does it build street credibility among the Ivy/Patriot coaches to perform well at a large tourney? Do the big tourneys help validate that in the process of their recruiting? Do they like to know they are getting P5 caliber baseball player but Ivy caliber student?

Big tourneys aren't necessary, but I think if you are already on their radar it can be a bonus especially if you are being recruited or have other D1 offers in your back pocket. My son did attend PG WWBA and was introduced to an Ivy coach by a mutual friend. They saw him play, and began recruiting him going forward. They would eventually offer.

Just my experience.
