Elite 11 Rankings So Far

The more I read about the Elite11 the more useless I realize it is.  These short sessions of everyone throwing a few balls, surrounded by much longer periods of study time, including fake NFL draft prep, just doesn't seem like it will show much about a QB.  Additionally, these kids are all at very different places developmentally.  Kids who have private QB coaches and only play football will thrive, while kids who play other sports as well are in season or just finishing the season for those sports.

I actually headed over to Redondo Union HS yesterday to check it out as it's about 3 miles from where I live.

I have to agree with Farnn's take above. I guess people get paid to dissect and analyze every piece of this weekend. But it's really just 24 kids throwing the same route tree, going through the same exercises/drills, etc. To actually rank order kids based on these activities is borderline meaningless. That said Dilfer was one of the first ones I recall to not be all that impressed with Sugar Shane.

It was open to the public so I sat in the bleachers. I'd say it was about half parents/family and half randoms like me. Dilfer came over to the stands to address the parents, explaining the schedule, what the kids would be doing, etc. He was very well spoken  /s

They had the USC WRs there to run routes along with some area HS kids and a few jucos apparently. I wouldn't know one SC WR from another but I did hear one call the other JuJu so that was a good clue. He certainly looks the part.

I only stayed for about 45 minutes, there are only so many 20 yard out passes to see before it gets boring. As I was walking toward my car I had a parent say hello and he struck up a conversation with me. His son is Miles Brennan that just committed to LSU. Really nice guy. Said Michigan didn't really recruit him at all, mostly came down to LSU, WVU, Cal and OKState.

The most impressive part of the experience to me was Redondo Union's various facilities: field turf soccer/rugby type field with a batting cage in the corner, field turf football field, tennis courts, outdoor pool, baseball field, two softball fields, and a field turf golf chipping/putting green. I've not seen anything as nice outside of a P5 school.

This is the camp where the old QB who is only known because of a really fuckin good defense tells high school QB's how bad they are and plays contrarion to all the recruiting sites' rankings. 

before we have multiple commits in the same Elite 11 camp. Whereas it has always been common to take one seemingly "can't miss" and another with huge upside due to untapped phyical gifts, that, in my opinion, is due to the difficulty in getting just one of the top QBs to commit. 

I don't think that will be the case and similar to Bama and USC during the Carroll days, where two, sometimes three great RBs would commit in any given year, I think Coach H. will be the first in the BIG to get two blue chippers in the same class. And by that I mean top 10-15 types. 

I was just looking for those.
