Camp Tips for Recruits
- Avoid expensive events that promise 'exposure' but have no confirmed college coaching attendance.
- Before paying for any event, ask: which specific coaches will be there? Get confirmation.
- College camps at your target schools offer the best return on investment — coaches see you on their campus.
