Isn't it just a money grab? All my teammates are going to the exact ID camp. All the top colleges are going to be there. Sure, but there's going to be hundreds of kids at this ID camp. How do you know it's the right one for you? They said college scouts are going to be there. Isn't that all that matters? It matters, but don't you want to go to an ID camp with schools that actually know you and want your position versus just A bunch of top schools? Are you saying I'm not good enough for certain schools? I don't actually know, but if they don't want you or need your position, this camp could be a total waste of time.
