The only ones who believe at this point that going to showcase events is the best way to get a player recruited are the people who have a vested interest in promoting showcase events. There is only one group that has such a vested interest in these parts.
The other poster was right, you are a crank, who always has to make it about you and your twisted views. You didn't address the OP's question (again).
In fact, isn't this your pet scenario? A non NT player, who doesn't play club, but who wants to play in college. You are always telling families this is the path they should take. How come no useful advice for them, oh Negative One?

Funny how when an anonymous poster asks for information immediately they are so thankful for getting really simplistic advice and but then completely ignores a link that gives about as much information as you could ask for about recruiting. Just one of the things that makes you go hmmm about this site.

Other websites claim that college coaches use them too (http://home.gotsport.com/clubsite/?p=2776) and others offer free profiles (https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/)
I have no idea if college coaches actually use any of these sites, or if they do to what extent. Either way, they seem to be additional paths to getting on a college coach's radar.
The rest of the information on the website may be useful for our players, but not much more that we/I can offer as a club/coach.
But hey, feel free to add/correct, I'm only looking to learn.

If anyone is interested, I found this thread that is very interesting - http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/...soccer-p1.html
From that, what I/we can do as a club seems to be:
- Help players through the process
- Liaise with college coaches on players behalf
- Give honest appraisals on abilities
- Consider recording games to provide players with tape
- Give information on relevant camps/clinics
- Look for tournament opportunities where coaches will be in attendance
- Look for guest-play opportunities for players
- Network with colleges
- Support players who want to make a transition to DA/ECNL
