All of these things point to get the attention of college recruiters. Are there showcases or tournaments that Team USA would be looking at for recruiting purposes?
USA Softball, nee ASA, pimps their JO Cup and events as being the best venue, but it is really just BS in their attempts to reclaim their previous status of drawing the strongest teams and players. As tbjd posted, it's really about the player being the crème de la crème.
Check out the roster of the 2017 US Women's National Team - http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Softball/Team-USA/Women. It doesn't have all the best players because there's no Olympics this year to draw the top pro players. Very few current college players will make the US Olympic team.
