Question: How do you know if a camp offered by a college is a "cattle call" or is a legit recruiting opportunity?
DD attended a camp at an Ivy recently.
Format was 2-day, 7hrs. each day.
Morning skills/drills, afternoon live scrimmages.
Less than half of the attendees were what I would consider "regional" (or easy driving distance),
and I met many families from Cali, TX, FLA, and the mid-west.
If this was simply a fund-raising cattle call, would folks really make this sort of travel commitment?
Seems like parents/players would be more wary than that, but I could be wrong?
It is an Ivy, after all...
Really I suppose I'm wondering if this University likely has a separate "invite camp" that the real recruits attend,
or was this likely it? There were certainly some very good players that attended.
