This seems to be more of an opportunity to get a written evaluation by College coaches instead of a typical "showcase". My son received an invitation (probably like many others here). Anyone have experience or opinions on this?

Correct. Not a true showcase.
Similar in some ways to the Metro Scout League.
PD, didn't JAFO just violate the man law about quote bars. 
That was in the other topic -- but his use of the tool was unnecessary.....being the 2nd post in this thread, his response to RIU was implied. 
PD - It's RIU not RIP. 
Don't dig my grave so soon.

PD,
Care to elaborate on your first statement?

Sure -- PantherSon receives invitations to the Top 96 on a fairly regular basis....he has not attended one of their events.
Here are a few of their copy points....
"-Attendance By College Coaches Is Guaranteed - We hire the coaches to instruct & evaluate so we know they'll show up......unlike many "showcases" that promise coaches will attend but they often don't make it.
-Players Receive Hands-On Instruction From College Coaches...
-Players Receive Realistic Evaluations From College Coaches...
-Players Interact Directly With College Coaches....This interaction in the form of instruction, evaluation, coaching and informal Q & A sessions is the key to all TPX TOP 96 clinics."

So, in a sense this is like a roaming college baseball camp. Does that about sum it up?
Yes, with several schools represented. The cost is reasonable, but mainly for those that are interested in the specific schools in attendance.
