What this is the first I have seen of this news???

I heard this too but don't know details. Anyone wanna share!? This would be HUGE. I could see players really liking or connecting with coaches especially Heistand, Lyght and Debson. Again, this would be HUUUUGE! Great recruiting idea. Maybe have a look at other programs as well like Bishop Gorman, Bosco, Aquinas...

Yeah I saw the possibility of camping a few days at IMG numerous places on Twitter. It would be great sure but every kid at IMG knows ND. Tony Jones and Robert Hainsey are both from there. Coach Wright is from Indy and Maurice Stovall is the WR coach.

Here's the podcast. I'll try and find the timing of the discussion.

Start listening at 26:15.

"...a radical change this offseason in terms of how they go about their business comparable to Culver...in conversations to take Spring practice to IMG Academy like Michigan did last year...during Spring Break...as a shakeup to their offseason routine...something I think Brian Kelly really wants to do."

From what I understand they are in discussions to make it happen. The coaches sent out a text to all the players around December 19th asking them to hold off on making travel plans for spring break. Lets hope something gets worked out.

We should camp at IMG every year. There and Gorman

Also why does Loy have him CB'd to ND? Did he ever give a reason behind that? We just throwing shit at the wall? I'm curious as to what I'm missing

Can anyone explain IMG to me?

How does IMG work? Is it invitation only? Do they actively recruit kids? How do they benefit (i.e. do they get a cut if a kid makes it?)?

What are the academics like there?

Pretty amazing how things have changes since I played in the 80's.

How does IMG work? Is it invitation only? YES Do they actively recruit kids? YES How do they benefit (i.e. do they get a cut if a kid makes it?)? Not a cut but they would have a foot in the door you'd think regarding agent representation.

What are the academics like there?
It's college prep plus pro prep. As I understand it, IMG took what Nick Bolitieri (sp) was doing with tennis players and is doing that with players from multiple sports. It sounds like the American/Capitalist version of the Soviet Ministry of Sports (or whatever it was called)

I'm your age-ish too. Adidas and Nike were just getting into the promotional aspect of HS sports then. Nike's first sponsored camp was the ABCD camp at Princeton in '84. The brainchild of Sonny Vacarro who during his time at Nike and Adidas completely changed how HS basketball players were showcased, sponsored and recruited through AAU. It's getting like that in football now with the UA All star game, Adidas 7v7 sponsorships and Nike's Opening Camps. Pretty soon brand loyalty will be more important than school loyalty... if it isn't already.

There ya go.
