Reply to "Standard Camp Invite or Genuine Interest"

PWE, coaches seem to be using some pretty low tactics these days.  I had my son respond to some of the camp invites the other day.  Most were generic invites but some were listed as "we have identified you as a top prospect". One invite was a lot different than the rest and the next day there was an invite to their Fall game (but also threw in another camp invite) and requested videos, schedule and included his cell.  He responded to 16 schools stating that he plays football in the Fall and included a brief bio and a link to his youtube video.  3 people watched it.  One school reached out and asked if he could come the following month.  They aren't interested in him, they just want us to drive 7 hours so the VC can get his $150. 

On the flip side he sent out video and bio to some schools a few months ago.  A PC emailed him back within an hour with a breakdown of his pitching and said they wanted to see him on campus. The RC followed up a few hours later.  If that is a tactic to get us to spend $100 for a camp, then job well done.
