I see 4-6 kids on that list that should be Canes, can't wait to get a look at them.

 

[Ethnicsands]

Ah, the Niketown recruiting event for Oregon.

 

[RiDLer80]

Kids bond in these environments and if you can get a couple of them to commit to you you get a big advantage in recruiting as we saw last year.

 

[nolimits26]

I think we have a chance at 7 ...will land 4 or 5

[UMcanesfan420]

Give me Thomas, Burns, Whitfield, Grace and Kirkland if I have to choose 5.

 

[JHallCanes]

Hargreaves said in his other interview this was going to be his first chance to see some other OOS schools. So while he has a top 3 right now, that could all changes because he is making a ton of visits.

Elite level camp though for sure.

Yeah, how this whole thing isn't a recruiting violation is beyond me.

 

[Calicanerepresent]

NIKE recruiting event!

because Nike dumps millions of dollars into the industry. It is what it is. And its not like the Ducks are walking away with 4-5 extra kids per year from this event. Personally, I think the Nike SPARQ Opening is the best event there is. We as recruitniks get all of these camp and 7 on 7 evals but its tough to compare various events from around the country. THe Opening gives us one look at the best of each regional event.
