I would have saved a lot of money over the past several years with my son by not going to school specific camps. The only ones where the Recruiting Coordinator or Head Coach sends a specific invite after seeing your kid play at a tourney or showcase or calls him directly are worth attending. Technically, these generic invites are accurate in that they do have kids now in their programs that went to their camps, but those are kids who were identified elsewhere and then got specific requests to attend the school's camp.
Glad you were able to save your money through the conflict he had.

I mostly agree with you, however, I can give you a very direct example of a Pac12 school that knew nothing ahead of camp, but all but offered by the end of the one-day pitching camp. Ultimately, they made the highest offer of all.

If you have something to show, it will indeed "show" even at a bulk attendance, money making camp. But you gotta have something big to show.
