Yes, a flurry of emails and invites after tournaments and showcases is common. Programs can get the roster lists of teams meeting certain parameters, and email the players who meet certain criteria. Unless a student is getting personal emails from the recruiting staff which shows they watched your player, it is not personal to your student. Coaches start with a wide funnel in order to have the players they want and need when the recruiting “music” stops and everyone is rushing for a seat. Getting those emails is better than not getting them.
For D1 camps, this coming summer would require strategic planning. Don’t try to do too many camps, and don’t do them too close together as players need time to recover before they head back in to a new camp. Summer, especially on the east coast, can be hot and humid and the campers are often sleeping in un-airconditioned dorms with strangers, not the best conditions for rest.
We live in Indiana so attending ND or IU camps is normal for many players in the area, for pre-season training and overall coaching. ND says that almost all its recruits have attended its camps, including international students. ND runs 2 separate camps of 150 kids per camp. Unless it’s changed under Chad Riley after Bobby Clark’s retirement, ND elite camp results in a written evaluation by player’s main camp coach, for players who are rising juniors, which includes a prediction for range of recruiting.
