My son is going to be attending the Young-Harris showcase next week. Going off of the list of last year attendees, he researched the schools and sent letters to the coaches of schools that carried his major to introduce himself to them. UVA was one of them. He enclosed his 2008 stats and bio. UVA head coach sent him an email responding to his letter and detailing their program and recruiting format. He then got an email form the recruiting coord about their upcoming prospect camps. My son replied to both that he was looking forward to meeting them in GA and he would see about attending one of the camps. The coord replied back that they wouldn't be at the GA showcase due to team practice. What I would like to know is has anyone been to their prospect camps and how much you know about the program at UVA? Seems like a good program. Head coach stated that they recruit 8 players per year on partial scholly's and if you look at the roster, his class breakdown is pretty much balanced that way. Any feedback would be helpful. I am getting a little taxed at the travelling/showcase money right now. Don't want to spend money on a bad investment if you know what I mean.
