Hi fellow webbers,
My son, an '08 pitcher, received an invitation to Headfirst Honor Roll Academic Baseball Showcases either in Richmond, VA in Aug. or in Nov. in Jupiter, FLA. According to their letter of invitation, this is a showcase where the invitees names have been furnished by the college coaches who will participate in the event, and that (supposedly) that coach is "closely following your (invitee) high school career to date." Again, according to their letter, this showcase is primarily an event where coaches have seen the player and will be evaluating and recruiting them at the event. Hate to be a cynic, but does anyone here have experience with Headfirst Baseball? The schools listed are actually the primary schools my son is extremely interested in, including N.D., U. of Virginia, several Ivy League schools, etc. My son has been invited to a Perfect Game showcase last year and is getting ready to attend another one this year and we feel they're the king of the hill and are extremely pleased with PG. I guess my question is, how do the Headfirst events compare with PG, or is that perhaps not a fair question--would this be trying to compare apples and oranges? Any info on Headfirst would be greatly appreciated. They sound completely legitimate, but I've just seen too many webbers attend other showcases that looked good, only to find out they weren't.
Thank you,
Blue Skies
