With the Opening starting on Monday and the elite 11 finals with the quarterbacks going today and tomorrow I figured we could discuss the Elite 11 and The Opening here.

Today is the start of the Elite 11. 18 QBs are in attendance to fight to become members of the Elite 11.
The 18 QBS are Kyle Allen, David Barker, Drew Blough, KJ Carta, Deshaun Watson, Keller Chryst, David Cornwell, Will Grier, Jarord Heard, Jacob Park, our own Brad Kaaya, Manny Wilkins, Deshone Kizer, Sean White, Morgan Mahalak, Andrew Ford, Stephen Collier, and Luke Rubenzer.

Some stocks will be rising and falling over the course of the next few days.


The Elite 11 will not be televised. The Opening will be televised on ESPNU. If you want to watch the opening here are some dates and times for you.

Monday, July 1, 7 p.m. ET, SPARQ Rating National Championship

Tuesday, July 2, 9 p.m.-11:30 p.m. ET, 7 on 7 Pool Play

Wednesday, July 3, 9 p.m.-midnight ET, Lineman Challenge Finals and 7 on 7 Finals

- U school QB Sean White finished 2nd in the accuracy challenge.
- All 18 qbs did a 3mile run in the mountains.
- Kyle Allen took home the Golden Gun (Award for Best Accuracy)
- Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Football, and Tahj Boyd are in attendance. (Threw a few passes in front of the recruits)
- Brad Kaaya is recording all of his performances on camera so he can learn what to improve and work on.
- Brad Kaaya's footwork is reportedly excellent. He has been hitting the receivers in stride. Coaches say he has the best fundamentals.

Combo of Twitter and 247.

They claim to have uploaded a video of Kaaya on YouTube about 10 minutes ago. I'm on mobile and I can't find it on my phone.


- Elite 11 Head Coach Trent Dilfer "You guys just had the best day a high school quarterback has ever had"

Trent Dilfer singles out Kyle Allen, Brad Kaaya, Deshaun Watson, Sean White, and David Blough for having the best day 1.
 
I re-watched Lammons tape, I'm surprised he isn't getting recruited at slot as much as corner. Kid is a playmaker

only a matter of time.
 
And the NCAA says that ok Nike for pimping these kids but if Miami provides a $30 free meal we are throwing the full fury of a Cat 5 Hurricane at them!

I like watching the opening its a proving ground for players that's ranked high to prove they belong there and for the underrated player to prove he can play with the big dogs.... I think treon Harris is going there to play corner I wouldn't be shocked if this kid blew up at the opening
