United States.

They have a very impressive list of past featured speakers. Surprisingly the name that I haven't seen associatied with this camp is James Franklin. There is also an Ohio camp next week put on by the organization and Urban Meyer is the main speaker.

Here is the honorary Board of Directors. It's pretty impressive despite a couple of names.

 

Honorary Members of Board of Directors A special thank you to these gentlemen for their time, generosity and support of LFG. Randy Edsall, Head Coach, University of Maryland Luke Fickell, Associate Head Coach, The Ohio State University Kyle Flood, Head Coach, Rutgers University Archie Griffin, President/CEO, The Ohio State University Alumni Association John Harbaugh, Head Coach, Baltimore Ravens Darrell Hazell, Head Coach, Purdue University Urban Meyer, Head Coach, The Ohio State University Jeff Monken, Head Coach, U.S. Military Academy Ken Niumatalolo, Head Coach, U.S. Naval Academy Bill O'Brien, Head Coach, Houston Texans Paul Pasqualoni, Chicago Bears Jim Tressel, President, Youngstown State University

I grew up in that part of the state and while we aren't as talent rich as Western we put out some good players. Skrep was from my area. Matt Ryan is from Eastern PA. Also that is almost in James Franklin 's home town this camp.

I grew up in that area as well, and over the years it was all Penn State and Notre Dame.  But then as we got into the '90s you saw more and more Michigan pop up.  

We lost a little bit of that momentum over the last decade, it would be good to see it come back.

This coaching staff is relentless. Their passion and drive is unmatched. A complete 180 from Hoke. God, I'm so glad Hoke is gone. Harbaugh isn't messing around.

Still scares me to this day Hackett seriously considered retaining Hoke if he had won 1 or 2 more games.  We'd be sitting here Rudock-less, O'Korn-less, Gentry-less and praying Morris works out with a dysfunctional offense in the spring game and a bunch of position coaches (except 1) that no P5 program would touch.  Ugh.

They might need more football fields , I'm not sure they have enough space to run all the drills. .Maybe they need to add a 2nd session. 1400 participants that's amazing

Yeah, it's a good thing that the NCAA is going to shut these things down.

We can't have 1400 kids trying to get better doing something they love in an exciting and inspirational environment.  They should all just go back home and play video games.

If an average of 500 campers show up for 9 camps, the coaching staff will get an opportunity to personally coach and evaluate 4,500 potential prospects in 10 days. This is sheer genius

Personally coach? Or just be in the general vicinity of while playing football.  There's no way to have that personal of a touch with that many guys.  I'd think it would be a little bittersweet for some of those kids since I'm sure they all want to be coached by Harbaugh.

From what I could tell (and there were plenty of M shirts and therefore MGo readers), there are certain players that the M staff knows about and tries to meet/ evaluate and the other kids they meet/ evaluate performed well in their sub groups. So in theory the coaches see everyone, but in actuality it's the top performers.

Well a lot of the kids at these camps are not going to be Div 1 players so you can probably just cut the bottom 60-70% off - but still its a good evaluation for hundreds of kids.

It does suck that the southern coaches apparently are restricting a lot of their kids from going.

Agreed. Likely each member of the coaching staff is going into each camp with a list of 5-10 attendees in each position group that they want to keep a special eye out for already. Then another few dozen under the radar that might grab their attention just by performing well at the camp during drills. Then the rest of the kids are there to learn some good technique and perhaps grab the attention of some of the smaller school coaching staffs that are also in attendance.
