The Opening, Rivals100 Challenge etc.

[STLDomer]

Tom Loy will be at The Opening as well as a ton of other 247 guys, they are going to have insane coverage of this thing. I was kinda disappointed in the coverage of The Rivals Challenge by well Rivals.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Because it is open to the entire media, there will be a ton of coverage out there. Besides 247 and rivals, ISD is sending 2 guys out there as well. There will be articles to read for days...

A little off topic but in terms of coverage I wasn't aware that other schools let the media come to their Junior Days and get footage. The UNC rivals site has all sorts of video from what they call Fedora's Freak Show. I wish that ND would allow that so we could see some of these prospects and our coaches work with them.

I followed the Freak Show actually... a buddy on mine played running back for UNC years ago...

pretty good stuff.

 

[STLDomer]

Yeah ND is like one of the only one that doesn't

I don't mind it though. As much as I like following the elite camps and recruiting in general, it's kind of refreshing that ND closes the curtain and gives these kids a break. I'm sure the kids appreciate it as well.

Artavis Scott, Dillon Bates, DJ Calhoun, Arrion Springs, Naijiel "Young Nate Dogg" Hale, Jaleel Wadood, & Trey Marshall are committing at The Opening

 

[LoveThee]

We don't really have a shot with any of them do we?

 

[jerboski]

no

 

[NDPhilly]

Is Naijel Hale's nickname really "young Nate Dogg"? Lol Is he dropping rhymes with SeantrelmHenderson's dad out in Cali?

He is Nate Dogg's son

 

[NDPhilly]

He is Nate Dogg's son

Oh damn. Feel bad for him. No one should have to lose their dad that early.

Players are starting to arrive now for The Opening/ Elite 11

Elite 11: Day 1 News & Notes | Student Sports

 

[STLDomer]

Brian Perroni

Cornwell is huge but Kizer isn't much smaller

JC Shurburtt

Notre Dame commit Kizer, UK commit Barker and VT commit Ford all look good physically.

 

[STLDomer]

JC Shurburtt

Drew Barker drops a nice pass in there in drills, earning the praise of the coaching staff.

DeShone Kizer really is eager to learn. Impressive intangible.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Any news on our other commits/targets?

 

[blueNDgold44]

Have they had any television coverage for the Opening yet?

 

[Cpnd1]

I think this is referring to the Elite 11, The opening starts July 1st I am pretty sure. Is the Elite 11 on TV live or is it on later?

 

[blueNDgold44]

Ohhh gotcha, I always thought the Elite 11 was previously recorded before airing but what do I know

According to ESPN the Opening is happening now.

Nevermind, don't know what the F is going on. Says it starts the 1st.

 

[rocket66]

Sounds like Kizer has been impressive early and looks good physically. Does anyone know how fast he is? He looks to have decent feet. Faster than Golson?

 

[STLDomer]

The Opening hasn't started yet. Elite 11 started last night. Elite 11 will be televised at a later date, The Opening TV schedule is on a previous page in this thread

Kizer just threw a "wow" type fade.

How long is the elite 11? The opening starts Monday correct? So the Elite 11 is only 3 days? I always thought it was a week long thing. Looks like Kizer is showing well, two elite 11 QBs in two years would be nice.

I'm not sure about past years but this is the first year the Elite 11 is being held in conjunction with The Opening. Technically, The Opening is still the Elite 11 for the QBs, the format is just different than past years.

Doesn't really mean much without knowing how large a "group" is
