It tells me my son is on some college coaches radar screens. It makes sense to figure out schools *he* would like and get on their radar screens too (if he isn't already). It makes sense to take control of the process.
My purpose in mentioning the book is just to say it is one handy place where the steps, like a sentence by sentence guide to writing a cover email are. Our club is *very* focused on college recruiting but doesn't go into this level of detail.
I don't see the need to belittle everyone on this forum. Just because he's had interest from schools at a very early stage (for boys) doesn't mean it's garbage (generic camp invites) nor does it mean my son is the second coming (he is not going to Stanford or Wake Forest).

No, it was not a generic invite to a camp.
