Ask which coach recruits your area or position. Write down their name …
A: Hard to say, could be a little bit of both. Coaches invite potential recruits they want to do more evaluations on, and players they are actively recruiting to camps.

A: No, in my opinion, camps are almost always a positive experience. During my years organizing a Top 25 camp, most of the players who came weren’t invited.
