Parent of a 2017 that got a direct invite to JR on Nov 2nd. My son did not attend the rising freshman camp last summer by our conscience decision and choice. Did not attend a "play in" this year or last. Got a direct invite personally. NOT thru his club. It doesn't work that way. If your good enough, they will find you. The coach or director of your"club" is not nearly as important as they want you to think! Most have a vested financial interest in spreading this "myth".
