Any advice for parents (my friends) of a 2018 middie who wants to play in college and has good grades, in terms of sorting through the various Summer showcases and how to position himself for Fall showcases? I know invites to the big ones have come and gone (Black Card, JR Blue Chip, Maverick Showtime).
At 5'9", not D1 size (unless he's moved to attack), but he's an extremely good player. Non-hotbed. Loves his travel team, but, although they talk the talk, we know enough that their tournaments aren't really recruiting tournaments. We are on a budget, so don't want to send him to worthless showcases due to our ignorance.
Thanks in advance.

There is no need to play elsewhere or do anything that we do not control
Obviously a sarcastic response. Could not be farther from the truth, especially in today's ultra competitive recruiting environment. If some dinosaur HS Coach ever says this to you or your son, run the other way. Quickly.
