Need advice for friend. Son is 2018, "A" student, multi-sport athlete and excellent lacrosse player from a non-hotbed area. Not a man-child, but not small. Has gotten good coaching and had fun on travel team, but team just doesn't go to recruiting events. Hasn't played HS yet and, in any event, HS coach isn't connected with D1 coaches (relatively new program). They don't have money to chase after a bunch of showcases. Son will probably do a couple high-DI, good-academic school prospect days. Interest from Ivies or partial scholarship from good academic school would be ideal. Maverick Showtime is closed and unclear whether too late for Black Card. Didn't do 3d Blue Chip in FL because of expense.
Any advice on what showcase he should focus on for this Summer? If family could identify just one, they could at least try to take the initiative to get an invite.
Thanks in advance,
Honestly, based on the above, wouldn't do any showcase besides Maverik or Black Card or maybe Prep Showcase if you could still get in. Others not worth it in my opinion. Based on the situation/where we are in the year, focus on the prospect days. Then get on a top club team for next fall, get to Philly Showcase in the fall, and more prospect days in the winter.
