Next Summer 2016 Question

Coach Bob500+ posts

Need the collective brilliance and wisdom of the experienced here again.

Situation: 2017 (rising junior) is debating on returning to his current team that will play 17/18 or staying at 16u for which he's eligible still on a team with a lot of talented kids he knows.

As he's entering his key recruiting summer and has a D1 goal, would it be stupid to pass on playing 17/18 tournaments where in I assume the college coaches and/or scouts are more apt to be versus playing again at 16u?

I think so I just really wanted someone to confirm that at "top" level tournaments (Pastime, Elite, PG are in the plan) that playing 17/18 will get more eyes on him then 16u level would for his key recruiting summer.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!
