Nice to have the PG Staff explain the difference and the reasoning why they do not and cannot list the schools and coaches at the Academic Showcase. There are certainly benefits from going to other PG events and getting scouted and rated at those. My son is doing one of those as well. However, when it comes to the academic showcases, all indications are Headfirst is the best option to actually meet the coaches from the schools and have an opportunity to discuss a future at their institution. It may not lead to anything, but as MK indicated, the cost is well worth it to get the opportunity to meet the coaches and get a lot of questions answered.
