only attended 1 camp (pitching) (@ Texas A & M) between 8th- Fresh year.
No, he was recruited by Tulane as a result of his summer team being @ PG Top Prospect & Nat'l showcases & WWBA nat'l tournaments. (at 16, playing on 17U, at 17 playing on 17U & 18U).
If you're wanting skills development, my opinion, a better investment, is lessons with a well qualified position/pitching coach. If you're wanting "exposure" for the next level, again m o, is affiliation with a team that emcompasses travel to PG events & tournaments.
Camps tend to be "institution focused", so, that's good, if you're focused on a particular region or school...coach or level, etc.
Son had goals & a plan...I just acted as "facilitator"...researching the pro's & con's of each scenario...taking into consideration his specific list of criteria & trying to help match his agenda with possibilities out there in baseball land.
You might want to do a search here on hsbaseballweb for threads on camps vs. showcases...lots of info & varying positions.
Hope this helps & good luck!
I just know that every time I asked a question & got an answer, it prompted more questions! It is alot of fun!!
** I will add this...Coaches Jones & Kingston are very well respected. Jones was also BA's Coach of the Year in 2005. Check the site news/archives for details. bio, etc. His camps are listed, as well.
