“@TheOpening_2013: Portland Jesuit LB Joey Alfieri (@jalfieri4) is early leader in SPARQ with a 131.28"

“@jalfieri4: Got the 6th best sparq score in the nation! Top ten players will be testing on espnU from 4-530 #TheOpening”

That means Hood was Top 5 along with Noil, McLaurin, Chubb, & ???

Tony Brown = 136.20

 

[Ironman8]

Justin Brent ran a 4.52.

 

[Ironman8]

Wiltfong posted that Brent just beat 5 star Jalen Tabor off press coverage for a catch, and Barton Simmons says he is 'loving' Brent out here - called him a 'long springy receiver'.

 

[NDFAN22]

Absolutely loving hearing this about Brent. Seems to get better and better every camp and continues to impress.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Not that it matters much, but will Brent get high(er) 4star/5star status by the end of the year if he keeps tearing up these camps? Am I correct in that he just had a great showing at a recent one? (I can't remember).

He had a very good showing at the Rivals 5 star challenge is Chicago, especially relative to where he was ranked going in. He's a consensus 4 star WR now and I don't think he makes 5 star but by the end of summer I would bet he's a top 15 WR.

 

[STLDomer]

Love hearing this about Brent

Our the OL done for the day? Haven't heard anything about Nelson

Maybe Jumpy Noil is now more appropriate.

Dude is only 161 lbs, he better make sure he never gets caught by a lineman at the college level

Anyone 247 guys know what Loy has been doing? He's posted like 3 dumb photos and that's it regarding updates from him.

I was going to shoot you a PM asking the same. No idea, the other 247 guys are all over it but Loy has been largely MIA.

Next year we are going to start a fund and send you out there.

Haha sounds like a plan. But seriously, he didn't report one 40 time or vertical or power ball and they aren't allowed to do interviews till after the workout session. What is he doing?

 

[Luckylucci]

This is another one of those situations where he talks a big game and then nothing. He posted like 3 messages prior to him leaving getting people excited about his updates.

 

[NDWorld247]

About 5 hours ago he posted a link for a free trial. The first thing they asked for was my credit card.

[NDWorld247]

I always feel bad for the linemen at these events. The shirts they have to wear are never flattering.

“@K_Bergs: all the commits eating together + @Kwon_daTRUTH and @BigQ56 #2014Bucks”

K_Bergs = OSU commit Kyle Berger

Wiltfong loved Brent & Hood today

Kizer only ran a 4.96? Ouch. Was expecting at least a 4.8.

 

[IrishLax]

Crazy to see Blough and White tearing up the Elite 11 like they are. The supposed "elite" recruits are all falling outside of the top pack.

Reminds me of when Gunner Kiel didn't make the Elite 11 but was still the #1 QB somehow.
