I don't think they have them set yet. What will happen is the player will go and do it in a private location then they will just air it on TV since it's a re-broadcast. That's what happened last year anyways.

The best thing about this event is competition breeds competition. These guys will push each other that hard in drills and the sparq training and we all know the cream rises to the top.

Random question, do you know if Breneman is making the trip? I know he can't compete obviously, was just hoping he'd at least get to be there since he earned the invite.

Can't believe they didn't invite Stacy Coley. Oh well, hope some Nole targets take their games up a notch.

I don't know whether he is or not. I'd consider it doubtful. Expensive trip for a camp, but I can't say for certain. Last year a few guys camped even though they couldn't put on pads due to their state HS rules.

Will be very interesting to see how some of these guys perform.
I'm assuming that this marks the end of the camp season and that we'll see some ratings change afterward?

The state of Michigan or Ohio or both, had that rule last year.

Don't believe Coley attended a Nike SPARQ or NFTC in the spring, which is key.

I think day one is going to be very interesting. The SPARQ testing day always turns some heads with 40 and pro agility shuttle times.
Some pretty special jumbo athlete's should show out - Ricky Seals-Jones and OJ Howard being two.

Alright analysts, im gonna put y'all on the line. Who will walk away the SPARQ victor?
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

Jalin Marshall is going to turn some heads. Excellent group of Ohio State commitments in attendance. Only name missing is Jayme Thompson. He was invited. I don't see his name on the rosters.

Agree. It's a tremendous group of Ohio State commits. Of them, Marshall is the guy I really want to see.
