Gridiron Kings is a 7v7 tournament, teams comprised of the best prospects from each region compete each round to win the championship.
It's held July 28-29th.
Some nice tidbits:
- Shane Morris is the first two-time participant (he led his team to runner-up last year) of all time
- Will be leading the midwest team for the second year in a row (he upset the Southeast team last year... suck on that SEC).
Epic Finger Point by sugar shane?
Does this kid ever rest?
Maybe Shane figured out a way to clone himself.
Imagine double the Shanes on the recruiting trail. Imagine backfield sets with two Shane Morrises. Defense wouldn't know who was getting the ball. While Shane could be throwing to Shane, Shane could be selling Michigan to the recruits visiting the game. The possibilities are endless.
The Elite 11 event in Columbus is this Friday.
Elite 11 regional camps happen all over the country in different regions. QB's at the regional camps try to earn an invitation to the main one to be held in California at the end of the year.
There must be other UM commits camping in Columbus this weekend... anyone know who?
As the elite 11 camp is only for QB's, no commit other than Morris is competing.
However 2015 qb from cass tech Jay'ru Cambell will be playing, as will Chance Stewart, a 14' recruit.
Sorry... I should have been more specific. There's a Nike NFTC camp on the same day and at the same location as the Elite 11 regional in Columbus. Anyone know if other Michigan commits are playing this weekend?
Elite 11 is Friday 4p-6p, and the NFTC is Saturday 9a-2p.
I've heard Morris, Taco, Dawson, Lewis, McCray, and Khalid Hill are planning on going. Whole bunch of Cass Tech guys too. Like 20 of them.
The Elite 11 camp is on Friday, and the Nike camp is Saturday. There is a handful of Mich commits that will be at the Nike camp.
The main Elite 11 is in July out in California. Its after The Opening in Oregon and before Gridiron Kings. July could be a busy month for Shane if he gets invited to The Opening.
I hope Treadwell is a receiver for the Midwest team. That could speed things up in the right direction.
