My son played in this tournament a couple years ago when it was new.  All in all it was a good tournament with a solid field of teams.  From a recruiting perspective it wasn't a good fit for my son.  There were a reasonable number of coaches at the games, but most of the schools in attendance were SEC or regional schools from the south - mostly from Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida if I recall correctly.  The SEC schools recruit nationally but the regional schools recruit locally (one coach told me that he only recruits kids within 100 miles of the school).  We're from Southern California and at the time (rising Soph) my son didn't have his target list of schools terribly refined, and only one or two of the schools in attendance were on his list.  So I'd say you should consider the schools on your son's list and look at it through this lense.  You may also contact college coaches as ask if they plan to attend.

Yes in general, there is a lot of talent at this event.  

In specific, it depends.  Larger schools are looking at younger ages or their current pool of commits.  For 2020's, it depends on the geography of the school for looking at uncommitted players.  Or if the uncommitted players they are targeting are at this event.

 

 

Highly recruited as has been said for P5 schools.   If you kid is P5 type player, then it is a good fit.  It has become a premier event that attracts top programs and then they fill in with lower programs.  I would say most of the SEC and half of the ACC will be there and a lot of schools around that area.  But if you are talking nationally, then no.
