real green posted:Just for poops and giggles. What do you think it's like for the college coaches that run these camps? Ask yourself this question. Will your son stand out in a crowd of 100 good HS varsity players? Will it be obvious that he is the best player on the field? If you can't answer that question confidently with a loud YES than the chances that he gets much of any attention at a college camp is very slim. That is the quality of player a top D1 is looking for.
Top D1 programs don't use their camps for recruiting. They use them to raise money for the asst coaches who often are not very well paid. The more successful the D1 program, the more this is true - generally speaking. Some mid-majors recruit from their camps a little bit. But if you have not had prior contact from the coaches, and they have not personally asked you to attend, it is very unlikely that you will be noticed - no matter what you do. The only exception would be if you put up an eye popping measurable (like running a 6.3 sixty or throwing 95 - which may sound absurd but I saw a kid throw 95 from the OF at a showcase in Texas last weekend, so it happens) A good rule of thumb is to look at the price of the camp. The cheaper the price the more likely they are to be doing some recruiting.
