Our son was scheduled to be on this tour last summer, but it was canceled due to covid. We thought it was a great opportunity to see a lot of schools in one trip and to also learn about baseball programs at those schools. Andy Bradley, who runs this camp, does a great job organizing it and making sure the players get the most during this trip. Can't really speak to the exposure/recruitment value of it, since our son was unable to do it, but it's definitely a great deal for college research/visits.

My son went on the tour in the summer of 2019.  When he went, they were on one bus, approximately 40 boys.  My son is a 2021 RHP, so when he went, he was a rising junior.

They did showcases at Ursinus, Seton Hall, Harvard and Brown.  I looked at the official list of coaches that attended each workout/showcase.  The boys on the tour were the only ones during the showcases, so they had the undivided attention of the coaches.  All together, the coaches were from Ursinus, Stevenson, Haverford, Cabrini, Swathmore, Fordham, Seton Hall, McDaniel, NYU, Hood, Brown, Brandeis, Bates, Mitchell College, Gwnedd Mercy, Thomas Jefferson U, St Elizabeth, Salve Regina, Holy Cross, RPI, Rochester, Colby, Rhode Island, Harvard, Tufts, Boston College, Rutgers, Hamilton, Babson.  Most of the coaches were only at one of the showcases, but Rhode Island's coach was at two.  At Harvard and Seton Hall, the coach did a group presentation to all the boys.  But not at Brown.  Stan Exeter, the Ursinus Head Coach and David Gage, Stevenson's head coach, were both on the tour so the boys really got to know the two of them.

They "toured" at least 20 schools.  Some of the tours were quick drive thru's of the campuses - there just was not enough time to tour that many schools and do four showcases.  At Harvard and Brown, they only saw the baseball field.  At the D3 schools, the tours were usually done by the baseball coach.  On the tours of D1 schools, they were done by someone from Admissions.

Andy collected metrics and I believe he shared those with all the coaches - we received our son's metrics.

Overall, my son had a fabulous experience.
