My thoughts exactly.
Exposure is necessary, but I don't beleive in over spending, it only takes one coach to see you who likes you to make that offer. There are some venues that without a doubt you should attend, attending camps of the college you may be interested in is also beneficial. Playing for someone who knows many college coaches is important too. Playing for a team that has a good reputation of winning and good kids is important too. Coaches appreciate it when you have spent time with the player and you can speak for his work, team efforts and personality.
I am not sure what the argument is, as CPLZ said a few days ago in another thread, there are more ways than one to skin a cat, and you don't have to feel you have to break the bank to do it, even today.
