Hawg Heaven is a great football camp for linemen. Another great camp is Down and Dirty linemen camp, which is held at KCU. Down and Dirty is more of a team camp but individual's can still come. EKU puts on a great linemen camp, it has good teaching, great compeition, and all the players always have fun!

Hawg Heaven, the camp that Joe Prince at Owensboro runs, is an outstanding full contact lineman camp. They really get after it there!

He may have it in June this year. A lot of schools didn't go last year because it was too close to the start of school/season.

 

Best Lineman Camp around. McCreary Central will be sending around 10 kids to this camp.

I don't know for sure what kind of camp or combine it is, but I see were Bell County has 4 players who have been selected for the National Underclassmen Combine Ultimate 100 in Atlanta GA. Mike Howard-O.L., Matt Raines-DB, and the two Davenport brothers, Cody-WR, and Cory-RB. Thats a good accomplishment for those young men to qualify for that event.

Yes, the Down and Dirty Camp is at KCU in Grayson this week.

Where do I find info on when and where camps are held?

You can find information on college websites about their camps. And most private camps have their own web sites, you can find those by doing a search.

I've tried but cannot get results about individual camps and locations

PM me with the camps that you are trying to find and I will give you the links.

With all of this said/discussed about summer camps, has there been a rules change that will discontinue summer camps for next season? I've been hearing talk from the Football Mom Mafia here at Fort Campbell.

 

Thanks.

 

Later.

Conj: to these players from Bell Co. McCreary Central had 2 players invited to the Ultimate 100 in Atlanta. Aaron Watts and Vince Staten.

If I were to send my kids to a camp, I would send them to the college camp were they would like to go to school. That way the coaches can see the kid for themselfs. You will get more bag for your buck and some good face time for your kids in front of a prospective coach. I would not send them to these combines, they are just money makers for the people putting them on.

 

Partially true. Yes, there are some who make money off these combines. However, I also have seen several kids get offers once they got their name out via the combine route.

 

I do agree about sending them to a camp where they would like to go to school AND at the level which their abilities will allow them to play.

I see the value in camps from getting exposure to different techniques and coaching styles and you also get to size up your competition a bit. If I saw someone 30 lbs heavier and a half second faster than me, then I would ask myself how do I get to that level and then work like heck to achieve it. You always learn something from a new teacher. I think combines are overvalued a bit; it's possible to have all the tools and still not be able to frame a house. How do you design a drill to measure heart, desire and character?

Stay away from Ohio State - there's about 1000 kids there and the player to coach ratio is ridiculous - just a money maker.

 

UNLESS you are a player with the right height/weight/speed and can stand out amongst the 1,000 others. That's because they allow a BUNCH of other college programs there to evaluate the talent -- I know most or all the 'MAC' schools attend both their Sr. Camps.

 

We had a young man last year -- Grant Williams -- who was getting completely overlooked by all the in-state schools, but was 6'4 and very athletic. Going to Ohio St. camp was best thing that happened to him. After that one-day camp he received TWO Div. 1 offers (E. Michigan and Akron) and was recruited heavily by Ohio University as a result of them seeing him there.

 

By the way, I heard this year UK was going to have at least TWELVE other scholarship schools beside themselves at their one-day Sr. Camp. Kudos to them -- for a kid that has D1 or 1AA potential it's all about exposure to as MANY colleges as possible.

 

Colleges tell us they don't want to offer a kid unless they can see him perform in-person. Since the NCAA prohibited college coaches from coming to our statewide combines (which cost our kids around $5 each and directly exposed them to usually 15-20 different colleges), that forces our kids and their families to now have to pay TRAVEL COSTS as well as CAMP COSTS (between $35 and $75 for a one-day camp) just to usually get seen by ONE college staff.

 

By saying their coaches couldn't attend our combines, the NCAA made things a lot more convenient and profitable for the colleges (they stay on campus for evaluations and get camp fees from MANY kids). But what they also did was limit the number of exposures for kids and cost them MAJOR bucks trying to get what little exposure they can.
