Reply to "Showball"

It's probably not worthwhile for a coming freshman to do any showcasing. The whole point of a showcase is to get seen by coaches looking to make offers. The only schools recruiting coming 9th and 10th graders are the top dogs. LSU, Vandy, UNC, UCLA, etc. If your son is good enough to get recruited by those schools you would probably know by now. 

Showball is mostly high academic type schools. They really aren't recruiting until junior year at the earliest. Most of their work gets done the summer/fall the players head into their senior year. Mostly because they have less flexibility with grades and aren't among the stronger programs so they have to wait to see who is still available. 

Fall of junior year is probably the earliest you would do a high academic camp, but you can go as late as Sept of senior year. Put the money towards lessons, instructors, or strength training for now. You have plenty of time.
