Big day for us here, solid showing and these guys might jump a bit for ESPN
How come RJS doesn't do any of these camps?
Why are Magnuson and Se'von Pittman listed as undecided? Has to be a typo.
Nice. I'll be interested to see how the instate guys and Standifer fare. I'm pretty sure Magnusson is going to dominate.
Standifier has a chance to really move up in the national rankings. I hope he kills it.
Nice crowd. I can't wait for the update, which sucks because obviously I'll have to.
Notable as far as who we're still recruiting:
Banner
Dunn
Day (haven't heard his name in a while)
Shittu (haven't heard from him since he decommitted)
Also Bisnowaty and O'Brien.
I love ESPN's description of O'Brien on his recruiting page - "one of those overachieving, snot blowing yard dawgs". Sounds like our kind of guy !
Also, I noticed that on their page for Bisnowaty, they don't have us listed as one of the schools that he is considering. Are we still in the running? I've always been partial to him.
Recommendation: If going to use ESPN for recruiting knowledge, ignore the considering lists.
Bisnowaty is still interested, it's just similar to a Sheldon Day situation where he might not have a spot left for him when he actually gets around to deciding. I think we do have a shot there, but who (if anyone) has committed before him will play a factor. I assume the staff would wait on Kalis or another elite OL (Peat, Garnett, Banner, etc.). Whether or not they would do that with Diamond I'm not so sure. But Bisnowaty's certainly a kid to keep an eye on.
Morgan and Reeves also gonna be there, guys we were recruiting pretty hard.
Overall, this is an outstanding field. Should be really interesting.
Also:
O'Brien
Bisnowaty
Hopefully our commits will do some recruiting and then go kill it on the field (which is still recruiting, really).
Is this free for the players?
You can watch it on ESPN.COM and ESPNU on Tv so set you DVR ...Im excited to see Standifer go up against a couple top 150 ESPN receivers and if he does well this could be his coming out party ..Everyone else in attendance is pretty well known ....
I cant seem to find WHEN it will be on TV? Date & time?
This event is in Beaverton, Oregon. Not every family is able to afford to send their kids all over the place for camps, so it could be a money issue. Again, I have no clue as to the financial situation, but I would guess this would be one of the first reasons why kids don't travel around the country for camps. I don't remember hearing about him being at the Sound Mind, Sound Body, so this may shoot my theory down.
