Good video recap of most of the big names.

Stepherson really stood out to me and Claypool looks like a freak athlete like most on here have already said.

I agree with Stepherson and Claypool. I would add that Studstill looked great as well. Moves better than everyone else I saw in that clip.

Was rather stunned on how much quick twitch Stepherson has; guy has to be a nightmare to defend any way but "immediate jam."

This is the high school that my oldest brother graduated from. Mike Richardson is also from Warner Robins High, yankee. I am down.

Eric Cuffee looked like the best corner, and it wasn't even close. 247 has him criminally underrated.

Stepherson looked GREAT. I see why he has been doing so well at camps. He is also terribly underrated.

I disagree, Cuffee was holding on almost every play, he would be called for a penatly 90% of the time.

lol No he wasn't. You are allowed to touch people. This is football. And he was the only corner with the balls and physicality to play with Claypool. Even the catch that Claypool gets on on Cuffee, it was good coverage. (With no holding.)

Stepherson is legit and the more he practices the better he'll get. Sometimes less is more when running routes and he's starting to understand that. He won the Orlando RCS WR MVP and they ranked him 12 overall at WR from all TE/WR's at all the RCS Camps, one spot behind Corley.

I too like Cuffee but overall I think he had a tougher night last night than the video shows or I was expecting. I think his problem was he was gettig a little high in his backpedal which made his transitions slower/stiffer than what you see on tape. With that said, I'd love him to be the 2nd CB in this class. His highlight tape tells me something different.

I too like Callaway but I'm not sure how his recruitment plays out. He sounds very set on comin back for an OV. However, is he a take no matter what? Do we have the space when he's ready to decided? We'll see.

It's too close to call between Studstill and Elliot for who I liked more. I can see those two being a dynamite tandem at FS/SS. Elliot is a very fluid athlete that with experience will be fun to watch.

Claypool is exactly what I thought. Exceptional athlete playing WR. I just don't see WR long term. Actually makes me want him in this class more.

With us being in a good position with some really good WR's in will be tough for him to get a commitable offer but Rontavius Graves was good. Had some of the cleanest reps of the night. If not ND, he'll make some team happy.

Cool! We'll have to check em out. I saw Nothside play a few years ago, and I really like that stadium that they share. Should be a good time.

Not the best review. Saw a similar complaint about lack of competition from a 2017 OL, but I can't remember which one.

The defensive and offensive line talent, as well as LB's, was really lacking. But especially defensive line.

Sampson was saying pretty much the same stuff on the podcast, DB/WR was good competition but everything else wasn't very interesting. Overall Prister and him reckoned II wasn't that great an event and not so much of a leap forward from last years

according to others (247, rivals) it was a great hit, great accommodations and was much better than last year...obviously lacking on the DLINE but the OVERALL was extremely positive

So the organization, schedule, layout and production was better. Next year get the talent to show up.

Have a tough time seeing Studstill as looking great. I see him getting beat multiple times in the video. Claypool and Stepherson really stood out to me. Also Jalen Elliot looks to be a nice athlete to have picked up.

Most those kids are from the south and it's a little easier drive but yes that's how you do a camp. But then look at OSU Friday nights it's loaded as well so shouldn't be an excuse. If they can make it to OSU and not ND makes ya wonder. Winning helps out so much, I remember Sampson said it was better then last year but they are still a ways away

ND is out in the middle of nowhere for all intents and purposes as it realates to major metropolitan areas.

Well.... lets be honest....how many of those kids could even academically make it? Hardly worth the effort if they won't even qualify. Right? I guess the staff knows a little on how well these guys are doing and if they could get in...It wouldnt make much sense to offer an II invitation to a guy that won't get past admissions.
