I am so sorry to hear. A camp invite in response to a recruit’s email is just that though…a camp invite. Pretty meaningless. That said my son has made great contacts and developed good relationships w/ coaches from soccer camps. Through out this process I have tried to remind him to ask himself these questions: Are they texting & calling like Coach X is? Are they responding personally to your emails? Have they asked for your transcripts and tests scores? Are they at your games? Early recruiting is tough to figure out for sure. But once they see you play and you are old enough communication should be changing…look for it. I met so many great parents at camps with kids much smaller than the team or obviously not in the same level of play as the team and they seemed so surprised. You have to research ahead. Most coaches supplement their incomes with the camps-but they also do evaluate talent. I found coaches to be great with the kids. Many gave out paper evaluations, or responded verbally letting kids know at the end what they thought. Most will respond to a post camp email and let you know. The very few that do none of the above are unethical.
