Really want to see how Mattingly does against top competition at the Rivals 100 challenge.

 

[beryirish]

is this going to be on ESPN?

 

[ChiRish]

I like the thread idea. Lots of Irish targets and commits participating in these camps. Man, I love this class already.

#NotreDame linebacker target Danny Mattingly just rolled into registration for the #RivalsChallenge. He's wearing an Irish hat.

Hopefully the hat is a sign to come.

 

[NDhoosier]

do any of the important people on this site think he commits at this camp similar to how Jaylon Smith did at the other camp... was it a NIKE camp?

 

[peoriairish]

No, Jaylon committed at an RAS camp.

Also don't see Mattingly committing before his visit. I think he's visiting ND early next week (the 25th)? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That's right.

Donnie Baseball...Danny Football...be interesting to see who Jaylon tries to recruit.

Reuben Foster and Jaylon Smoth separated themselves as the best LBs but Foster is now sitting out because of knee issues.

STL Domer you scooped that tweet! Beat Philly to the board with the rivals 100 update. So it apparently can be done. You are all over these summer camps, I think you are coming into your own, setting your place at the table with the Big Dawgs.

 

[STLDomer]

Jaylon Smith has been facing off against top Bama TE OJ Howard

 

[NDPhilly]

Carl Lawson was the best player there today. He was unstoppable.

[yankeeND]

Yeah SLU, I see now. Looks like he (Mizzell) had an outstanding weekend! I wouldn't mind he and Khalfani either!

 

[PLACforever]

great thread - can we get the first post list updated though?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

It will be interesting to see what happens with recruiting classes, (value rising and falling) without much change in recruiting numbers. If there isn't.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - #RivalsChallenge: All-Challenge Team

LB Jaylon Smith, Fort Wayne (Ind.) Bishop Luers: Smith was all over the field Saturday in drills and 1-on-1s and was the only person who truly checked O.J. Howard on both days.

 

[STLDomer]

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - #RivalsChallenge: All-Challenge Team

To add to that

WR Taquan Mizzell, Virginia Beach (Va.) Bayside: Mizzell worked a lot from the running back position as well as the slot, and if there was an offensive MVP for the winning team, he would have won it based on his three touchdowns in the title game.

DE Da'Shawn Hand, Woodbridge (Va.) Woodbridge Senior 2014: Hand won most of his reps on Saturday against the best competition he's faced, and followed that up with an amazing 102 pushups and more 1-on-1 wins on Sunday at the big-man challenge.

Jaylon's performance in 1-1s is more impressive as OJ Howard was unstoppable in 7-7s

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Best of #RivalsChallenge 7-on-7

Most difficult to defend

Autauga (Ala.) Autauga Academy tight end O.J. Howard

Howard was nearly impossible for any team to counter. He is a towering prospect who has the athleticism of a wide receiver and the size of a tight end. He can stretch the field vertically and get a step on defensive backs or fight for the ball in traffic. He does a great job of getting his hands on the ball and snatching it away from defenders. A scary combination of size and speed that will help open up any college offense.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Snowball's chance Hand comes here. Also don't think we really have a shot at Mizzell either.

STL - How do the teams get setup for these camps? Do the guys pick their own teams and sign up as a team, or do the camp organizers make up the teams?

 

[beryirish]

Jaylon is a one man team huh.....understandable

 

[STLDomer]

Luke Stampini9318 posts

Impressed with 2014 LB Clifton Garrett's mobility. Obviously looks the part, but really moves well too.

QB Shane Morris has struggled a little this game vs Jacksonville, Fl Pro Impact. Threw a pick early and hasn't been as accurate as his first game.

CB Vernon Hargreaves III was toying with WRs earlier. Certainly has the confidence in his abilities to take a lot of chances.

Josh Newberg8866 posts

Vernon Hargreaves had three pass breakups and nearly picked one off after tipping it and falling down. Almost made the INT from his back.

Everyone on Team Tampa's roster is in attendance. A lot of the South Fla Express players are not here today. Jesus Wilson, Sony Michel, Greg Bryant and Jamal Carter are not here.

Any AWP Jaylon Smith sightings?

He's a STUD. I'm a Fla guy and this is my first time seeing him, very comparable to Matthew Thomas of Booker T. high school in Miami.

Ball hawk as usual. Bottling up RBs. Really fluid. Breaks on the fball well. They are 1-1. Just lost to South Florida Express, 21-16.
