Yea ive been to a few in my day what year is your son in hs, and were is the nike camp being hosted at i went to 3 of them 1 used lazer on the 40's other used old school stop watches. You run your 40 , then pro agillity, bench test and vert test and thats about it and they put all your **** in a book that coachs all over the nation get.

Great to get noticed by coaches
congrats to ur son

I play D1AA at Villanova and at the Nike combine its all electronic now, even the vertical jump is electronic. lazers galore. then depending on your position you bench 185 as much as possible or 225 for bigger dudes. then agility and shuttle runs

Thats awesome, with your sons statistics I was expecting he would be in that caliber. He should go DI.

I got invited to one of these at the cleveland browns stadium, i didnt waste my time going haha

I went to one in Blacksburg Va about 2 years ago and everything was electronic devices for 40's, vert and agility. and yes there will be enough scouts there to get ur son seen. does he have any offers yet?

[Badgerman]

Oregon is sending him alot of stuff.....we're going to Junior Day this weekend.....then NIKE camp at eugene in June.
Was the 40 yard electronic start a touch pad or laser at the start too?
I guess they are using a force plate now for vert.....how does that work?

He's repping 30+ @185

4.47 hand timed on track(fast surface)......4 flat shuttle
He's just 5'9" at 200 lbs though.

Great stats. If he can play, then 5'9'' is definately reasonable to play D1.

you're cool

and you are too buddy

I think these camps are ok. In the end it's all about what your son can do on film that matters to them. My coach use to say,"what you see on fill is what you get, no better, no worse." So if he can have some great highlights and some all around solid games he be alright with out any camps. The camps are used so that you can get your name out there. After the camp is over they want to see GAME FILM. no one every gets a full ride because of nike camp.

do you men that there is no way in he!! you would ever got into a good college football program by your comment "i didnt waste my time going?" its definately not a waste of time. i went to the camp in 2001 and had a good enough showing to get a full ride to UCF. maybe you should have wasted your time.

i went my last year..(really my the end of my junior year, but thats the last time u can go- as a "senior")
anyway they used electric testing for the vert, but it all depends on who u have testing u..some guys will let u bend your knees while your in the air and some wont..some of them will let u land with your knees totally bent..its such a joke! everything else was hand time

I was wondering if it was based on time in the air.....you want to land bent legged and flat footed in that case.......kind of a stupid way to measure vertical.

It's GW's Fault......

Everything else is why shouldn't this be!

I agree it is not the best way in my opinion, but they know a hell of a lot more than me.

LOL

i went to one a few years back at UNC and the 40's, shuttle, were done by hand with a stop watch but they had a electronic vertical jump pad, then later they do the one on ones but anyway train hard and good luck to your son
