Why would a D1 school have other schools(mainly D11 and D111) at their showcase camp? If a player is good enough that the D1 would want him as a recruit, wouldn't the other schools also recruit the same player?

Fund raiser.
Other schools will increase the interest and also fee charged.

some confusion can be cleared if we note the NCAA's definition of "prospect"
(short for prospective student athelete)
per the NCAA "You become a “prospect” when you start ninth-grade classes" (period)
colleges identify potential recruits by scouting them (showcases, hs, summer, etc)
occasionally someone previously unknown shows up at a camp & gets some attention
occasionally someone known but unseen will be encouraged to attend
full camps generate more revenue
that's not to say players don't get identified & recruited from a camp - a few do
it is a great way to get better aquainted with the school & staff if you're already being recruited by them
they're much further along or have already identified the guys they're after.
coaches from other schools are great staff & maybe can pick up a player or two
hope that helps

the larger schools have more resources, assistants, and larger recruiting budgets, etc -quote:Why would a D1 school have other schools(mainly D11 and D111) at their showcase camp?
