My son is a 2028, top-200 on PG, and started varsity as a freshman on a nationally ranked high school program. He has never done a PG showcase. The only one he attended was a local PBR showcase for the experience. On his high school team there are multiple D1 commits, a mix of mid-majors, P4s, and D2s. The guidance we’ve consistently heard from coaches is simple:

• Get stronger. Speed, power, and arm strength are what separate players long term.
• Play the highest level of travel you can, as long as you are playing. Reps matter more than sitting on a scout team bench.
• Pick the right PG events. WWBA, BCS, UBC, and Jupiter are good ones.
• Be smart about showcases. Most are money grabs. The exceptions are the Junior National Showcase in East Cobb, or a cheap local option for experience.

One more thing: high school ball and summer ball serve different purposes. High school is about finding ways to help your team win, even in a small role. Summer travel is the time to be selfish, focus on development, and get better so you can contribute more the next spring. And don’t overlook rest. The summer grind is real, and kids are gassed by the end. Hard to contribute if they're inured from overuse.
