The show in fall had top 75 players in the class but coach turnout was horrible - 2 coaches per team no other coaches evaluating - none of the coaches were head coaches.
Showtime - godfather of showcases
Black card s horrible - NXT is better
FiveStar - like the show had best players in the class hands down. Everyone invited was supposed to be there - no scrubs
Never heard of exposure
One percent is always good - NLF and NAL heavy event. It is during NAPTOWN this year I’d be a little worried who would not show because of that.

Juniors Open and MainStage should be on this lis
Best in class should be too.

Thank you for the insightful and helpful post! The best information comes from people who have experienced these first hand. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

The Show was basically a first year event and it was in the Fall. It is the first showcase of the summer and should have coaches there.
Showtime will have all the colleges there without question.
Blackcard is okay, but low turnout.
NXT will have coaches.
Five Star and Best in Class have the top of the top and every kid there will be recruited 1st wave on September 1st...invite only...these are the high profile kids each club director markets and wants to be able to say they committed early in September to a top 20 college. There are 600 other roster spots in D1 lax...go for them if your not Top Gun.
One Percent is usually good but Naptown will have a lot of college coaches there.
And I agree, Juniors Open, MainStage should be on here as well as Jim Stagnitta's thing and the Iron 44 Combine.

Hope it helps.
