Value of different PG events
Would like opinions on the value of the different PG events. My 2019 is scheduled to play several PG events this summer (listed below) but I'm wondering how valuable these events are in terms of exposure. Is he better off doing a showcase or will these events generate interest in him from coaches? Generally speaking he wants to play his college ball in the state of Texas so playing at Tx State, U of Houston, TCU and Sam Houston (plus a non-PG Baylor event) seems to make sense to me but are...

I love PG...son attended several, but 1-2 Texas event would suffice. Son attended 1 @ Baylor summer of freshman year.

I never found the on campus events to be that great of exposure to anyone other than that school. I did see the UT RC at a TX State event because they were recruiting son's team's CF really hard at that point. Also saw the TCU PC at A&M...

Independent of the specific PG showcases you mention, can you describe your player? Position, size, any pitching velocities measured? It would be easier for our members to chime in... Thanks.
