They have an upcoming event in Shepherdstown,WV at Shepherd University. I was invited by 2 D1 coaches who want to watch me. I was wondering if anyone happened to have any good or bad details on it. Thanks

my son received similar invitations from two assistant coaches in D 1 programs in the midwest. Late in his process. I was wondering where this came from, someone's mailing list? What schools? Let's see if it's the same thing.

website is here, Creighton and Purdue were the 2 invites I received. Also got the same thing in Philly too.

IMHO more than likely this is off a mailing list. Last year son received the same info on a camp being run in NJ as well as asking for a questionaire to be filled out from the same 2 schools. Same story about them coming to the east coast to recruit. My son received the same info this year, as you did, as a 2010 after being committed somewhere. Was recruited by Purdue somewhat during the summer and they know he committed elsewhere.
yep-same story. Same two coaches, one says he's from Maryland and wants to see the local talent.
Camp link from last year has a suprisingly simular look. Only some of the names are changed:

Were any of you guys on Carpenter Cup rosters?
Good call Vicarious.
My son got a call from the Purdue coach in July after he saw him in the Carpenter Cup.

The Carpenter Cup did garner a lot of interest.
no I was not on the Carpenter Cup roster.
My son went to the hitting clinic, on Saturday. All of the coaches listed were there. Several stations of small groups. Seemed well-organized. Ran smoothly. I got the feeling that the coaches enjoyed what they were doing. My son said they were all nice.
There was some personal instruction with tees and soft toss. Each kid got plenty of BP reps on the indoor field (at least 50 swings). Players wore numbers. Coaches had clipboards, so I assume they were looking for guys. They were not handing out scholarships on the field, but maybe they'll take a closer look at some, and follow their progress.
Creighton's Coach Tormohein gave a good talk to parents and players about recruiting and the demands of playing college baseball. He took his time to answer all questions.
The Maple Zone facility seemed to have its act together. I would let my son attend their future events.

Did you do the camp at Shepherd?
It was in Boothwyn, PA. Near Philadelphia.
I attended the one in Shepherd,WV. It was a great experienced! I enjoyed ever minute of it, and it was well worth the money and drive.

They also gave every kid a run down on there swing and how they could improve it. Everything he mentioned above is right on the money.
