I have had an athlete recommended for a camp known as Football University, advertised as an elite invitation-only camp. Is anyone familiar with this and is it worth pursuing? Thanks in advance.

Saw a commercial for it during the army all-american bowl. That was the first I had heard of it.

If Jaworski has anything to say about it, no thanks. I have had enough of Jaws to last me a lifetime.

You are listed in the who's who book of teachers. Oh by the way... it costs 89.95 sounds fishy to me

I hate to sound like a debbie downer, but; FBU was started to identify the nation's top football players from 6th grade through to the 11th grade and provide them with the nation's best instruction from the NFL ranks. whaaaat? FBU created a national network of 55 football high school coaches from across the country that all scout one FBU region, speak with coaches and help identify the nation's top prep football players. Along with its recruiting partners like Rivals.com and its sister property, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on NBC, FBU tracks the nation's top football players throughout the year. damn you, Tom Lemming!

a kid in our program got "invited" to this after getting 20-25 snaps all of last season and will probably not start as a senior.

I 'get' the "INVITE ONLY" thing.....but is that ruse (another way of framing this)? Because you can NOMINATE people to get invited..... isn't that the same thing as applying?

What a rip-off.
Bad enough that these two schmuckatellies come up with this scam, but to have some ex-NFL players endorsing and taken money from it is down right screw-up.

Question:
What is the benefit of this particular camp? Is the instruction exceptional, does it have some special place in the recruiting world? It seems like a heavily marketed camp, but at the end of the day, is their real value added vs. other camps?
Just asking

Tampa, what's going on my man. I don't think that I've ever used the word "schmuckatellies" before. Is this a defense or offense word? OJW

Enough said.....that's all I needed to know. Now, this young man is a very good player, and I have no idea who nominated him for this, but his response when I told him about it warmed my heart. His first question was "How much is it?" Smart kid Thanks for the responses; I suspected as much, but it's good to hear informed perspectives on it.
