@947 posted:Any insight if PG showcases are worth spending the extra money over PBR?
PBR is only $300 vs the $800 for PG, and PBR includes a video. My 2024 Junior has only done PBR, and his numbers are posted. He has a PG profile from tourneys he's done, but no numbers are shown. I'd think if a coach searches a player on PBR, he also checks PBR, especially if numbers aren't listed.
I guess everyone's experience is different. My 2024 just received his first D1 offer. The coaches that offered him, and two others that have not offered but have spoken with him multiple times have all referenced information on his PG profile. I think that PG and PBR are simply tools that coaches use in their evaluation process.
In my son's recruiting experience it was his PG tournament performances and his PG ranking that he used to get coaches attention with his emails. He played in the Jupiter tournament and gathered some fantastic stats, and in the November re-rankings from perfect game he moved into the top 150 for his position. He took that information and used it to advertise himself to coaches via email. Probably if he didn't have that PG information then coaches would have passed over his emails with very little interest.
