I'm not discounting anything you've said here but you mentioned a couple of times the significance of this being an "invite only" event. My 2019 C has received multiple invites to invite-only PG events and, to my knowledge, they have never seen him or talked to his coaches, and he is not in their system for a player lookup. I believe at one point he provided a basic write-up of himself and that is all I'm aware that they know about him. Point being, invite-only may not necessarily mean that these are the best players PG has identified unless identification includes only what the player says about themselves. I'd be very interested in any further information that folks might have on this topic.
Requesting an invitation for most PG showcases is just a formality. The National showcases are different. The numbers are usually limited to around 200.
