Do you know who is coming to the elite camp this year Jeremy? If I recall this was a place where the staff put a lot of scholarship offers out to potential recruits. Do you anticipate any commits at the time?

Oh and yes, I am demanding.

I love the looks of their camp schedule! I worked some of LE's camps and attended Johnny Orr camp as a kid, and while they were a blast for the kids it didn't seem like there were many fundamentals taught and coaches weren't present for much of it. I think LE and JO each showed up for one morning of camp (maybe 2 for Johnny) to make an appearance, but didn't have much to do with the camp beyond that. At least from the sounds of the camps it looks like the kids will be taught and worked with more. Maybe that's the coaching side of me, but I know if I'm shelling out $300 for my kid to go to a week of bball I want him to at least learn a few things beyond a secret handshake with Omar Bynum (not that this doesn't help in picking up the ladies for a youngster ). I'm excited to see how these camps shake down.
