I always thought abou the talented kid that could nto afford the exposure...especailly if the high school program does not promote them. However in other posts suggestions hav ebeen made( going to a MLB "free" tryout is away to get baseball to notice a player...they do feed quality kids to colelge coaches.

I realize this is your POV:
"In my opinion many of the ‘touted’ players were not all that talented, but the scouts in attendance typically only tracked players they were told to watch. Many talented players are overlooked at these showcase tournaments."

But my POV is that college colleges need and want talent and would not overlook at any talent. They can't afford to overlook any talent. Glad to hear your son is playing college ball and hope he does well.
