“We may not get the same volume (of scouts) or the number of schools, but we have more head coaches (at the Holiday Showcase) than we might typically have,” said Abrams. “The NCAA programs have all broken for Christmas, so some of the head coaches that don’t normally get out to games get a chance to take advantage of this.”
Abrams said there’s an added advantage for NCAA scouts who are restricted to a limited number of looks at potential recruits.
“The advantage for the NCAA is this counts as one look,” said Abrams. “A lot of people don’t realize (NCAA) teams are restricted in the amount of times they can come and see you play. Unlike major junior, who can send their scouts to every game, they can’t overexpose an athlete to the recruiting process, so with this format they can see (all 12 teams) play twice and it only counts as one.”
