Did the coaches YOUR player contacted come to see her play? Do they follow up shortly after the event? That's what matters. Coaches are there to see players on their shopping lists, players who reached out to them first. Sometimes a player may also catch their eye but generally they aren't watching your kid. If every player on two teams even had one coach each, that's a lot of coaches.

Different story for U17/18's as they can get feedback or have direct contact immediately so the OP's comments above make more sense.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFor U16's, which are Freshmen and Sophomores, there is no contact until June 15 after Sophomore year. The reality with the new rules is that these showcases for U16's or younger are about generating interest for June 15.

...and now we wait for jerk to remind us that they play other weak opponents who shared similar regular season performance. Wait, am I the jerk?

My kid is a sophomore and has a short list of colleges from D1 to D3 that have shown interest. She knows which coaches showed up in Florida to see her play. Beyond that, it's all about June 15 as that's when the real conversations start.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEveryone always says that but my dd has actually gotten more interest after showcases from coaches she didn’t email ahead of time who happened to see her play when, I assume, they came to watch someone else. The coaches are mostly the same level as the ones she wrote to, but some higher and some lower. She’s a junior though so maybe the D1 coaches don’t bother to open emails from any player that old that they aren’t already following. I don’t blame them because they must get a thousand emails before showcases!

Do they want to recruit her or they trying to sell her on the expensive ID clinics? How can a player tell the difference?

The first time I saw something, I was like "Wow, Notre Dame viewed my kid's profile". After you get the ID Camps e-mails a few times you figure it out.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhen I say 8 schools interested, I'm talking about schools that have discussed my kid with her coach expressing interest. She's gotten a bunch of those invites to ID clinics, but I feel like they cast a wide net with those to generate $$$-even the ones that are personalized with a little note.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOk. Ty. At the start of this. If they actually discussed the player with the club coach then is that a sign it is legit interest? If it is legit interest how do the Id clinics fit it? Does the player need to pay and go or they can pass in that?

continuing with the Notre Dame example... does a player have to go to a Notre Dame ID clinic to be considered or is showcase play enough?
