One of the big issues for me was making sure that all swords will be set aside between all of the various media companies for this event.

I've invited all of the various National recruiting experts and those companies (Rivals/ESPN/Scout/247 Sports) and after 5-10 minutes I received back RSVP's from almost all of them. This only helps benefit kids in this state and the more exposure/coverage the better.

Also important to remember...we will do ZERO testing at this event. Testing is something that I just have never believed in for any type of recruiting event in January. Top tier kids will get recruited off of sophomore and junior video. The rest will eventually need to run a 40 yard dash for college coaches in summer one day camps. Various people/events will tell you they will either scratch or not record or report 40 times...I say don't believe them and those same 40 times will find it's way to coaches anyways. No testing is done at my events because it's a benefit to the kids. All in attendance will be judged on football drill and positional work ONLY!

Also who is doing the testing/recording of times? Electronic timing or hand timed? These are all vital questions to ask.

Not sure on your 40 or need work to improve your 40? Then by all means go get help, work with a speed trainer and get faster. Just don't discover this at any recruiting camp/showcase/combine. If you run a 40 unfortunately in way too many cases you will eliminate any real chances of getting serious recruiting interest before your recruiting process has really even begun.

Questions? Ask away always glad to help answer anything.

It's all football specific drill work and position specific work. I'll watch as much as I can but admittedly I'm more of the host for this event which will be attended by every major recruiting network so......and my name is on it so I make sure the event runs well and that's my main responsibility here.

What do the linemen need to bring, if anything? Is there turf inside the facility? Spikes or gym shoes? Any other equipment?

Indoor turf field so cleats are fine....outside of that I suggest say water or Gatorade....we will have that for all players but always a good idea to have more on hand. Also we will provide a camp dri fit shirt for all campers etc

Will the athletes be put through a warm up or should they get there 30-45 min before the event starts?

Will the evaluations of the athletes be posted at all or are the other publications going to just highlight the top 4 and 5 star kids only?

Highlights and Top kids.....pretty impossible to evaluate 150-200 kids at once. I'll do my best to get as in depth as I can but also remember I'm the figurehead for this so my time and attention will be first to make sure things run smoothly. I'll be getting input from coaches along with my observations.
