No. of camps

quote:

---

how many camps would a junior prospect attend the summer before his senior year?

---

Some attend quite a few, some attend none. Each school usually has 2 summer camps, plus u have the recruiting combine camps, Elite 11 for QBs, 7 on 7s, there are alot of ways to get noticed.

And this NIKE camp - are invitations issued for this?

---

Not %100, but I think you just pay to go.

And events like the Under Armor game, etc, are those issued to ranked recruits?

---

Army and Under Armor invite top players to play in those All American games, the kids are usually ranked pretty high on the recuriting service websites. Rivals has a less heralded all american game called offense vs defense bowl.

And if so, what lists hold more weight?

Army game has been around longer, but Under Armor is starting to get bigger and bigger and getting the better players.

Thank you for your answers. I knew I could come here and get exactly what I needed. TD is like a researcher's treasure chest.

Also, anyone know of any good books giving the skinny on recruiting?

As I write, I'll have to drop you guys more questions. Guess I'll have to put TD in my acknowledgments. LOL. Thanks so much.

Are you talking recruiting in general or LSU? I'm not to sure about info on the process of recruiting. You could call the schools and talk to the staff (who aren't coaches).

I personally like Rivals b/c their sites seem more organized, and I can go to multiple schools sites.

There's a good bit of Scout people here.

ESPN has a lot of publicity, but they aren't ready yet.

Here's a few ideas that I would read about.
Follow specific recruits high profile and very low profile kids so you can compare the process.

Look at different schools LSU vs New Mexico St on how they get their players.

Talk to different staffs about their recruiting philosophies. Just be careful with names and what you write no one needs to get in trouble with what is written.
