It’s mainly a money maker. It might be fun for the kid to feel important like they are at the NFL combine. But it won’t help their recruiting chances. What will help is sending compelling game film to the coaches ahead of the showcase games so they can watch them play in person.

Has anyone ever had one of their DCs participate in the combine the day before the tournament? Is it well attended by college coaches, or is it more of a money-maker for the tournament? I’m not looking to impugn anyone with this question—just hoping for a candid assessment of the event.
