@Dadof3 posted:I kind of like the PG events. Didn't see any highschool kids running it. Saw some college kids that currently play, but they looked to be more of technicians. Saw some other coaches there as well. Obviously no one needs to go to those, but I don't think it hurts either. Especially if you don't have someone that knows someone.....
This is where my philosophy of the best recruiting method is have a travel coach who has credibility and contacts and can presell the player. Once past the top one hundred players at a major PG event the next 900 can blend in. On any given day you can’t tell 200 from 1000 in three or four at bats.
My son never did a PG showcase. But from attending PG tournaments and his travel coach selling him he had a 9.5 score. I felt it was high. But hundreds of players receive 9.5. Keep in mind PG scores is how they see potential not reality.
