🎙️ Football 360 Show – Episode 85 Highlights Hosts: JP Rock & Matt Biermann Broadcast on: KLIS 590 AM – The Lou Information Station Socials: X: @JPRockScoutsU | @elitefootball Instagram: @EliteFootballAcademy YouTube: Football 360 Show 🏈 Main Topics Covered 🏟️ Lindenwood Mega Camp Recap Over 2,000 athletes in attendance – biggest camp yet. Camp operated with military precision – minute-by-minute scheduling. Weather cooperated with no lightning delays despite some rain. Coach Marcus Knows led elite warmups, described as "worth the price of admission." 📊 Testing & Recruiting Intel New addition: Catapult Technology used for athlete testing. Athletes went through: Height/weight measurement Combine testing (40-yard, broad jump, vertical, etc.) Individual photos & warmups Grouped into testing stations (45 mins per group of ~140 athletes) Coaches had real-time access to results via evaluation app. Standardized testing equipment ensured fair evaluation across athletes. Emphasis on relative performance vs peers by age and position. 📣 Key Recruiting Takeaways Players must compete, not just show up. Many advised not to run or test – coaches notice. Sitting out = red flag. Camp performance is only 1 leg of the 3-legged stool: Testing Football skills (1v1s, Indy drills, etc.) Game film Players who test average but perform well in 1v1s still get offers. 🧠 Insight: Coaching Staff Politics & Offer Dynamics Interview recap with Coach Josh Henson (Purdue): Former Mizzou OC under Gary Pinkel. Discussed coaching challenges, politics, and recruiting barriers (e.g., bureaucratic issues at USC). Coaches sometimes "hide" recruits they like to delay offers and avoid tipping off other programs. Offer delays often due to lack of full staff consensus. 🧪 Athlete Case Studies Leyton Usry (Parkway West): Multi-sport standout (AAA Hockey, Lacrosse All-American). Had 82 catches in football last year. Dominated 1-on-1s at camp, described by multiple coaches as the best football player there. Now attracting serious interest from Air Force, Columbia, Dartmouth, Illinois State, Arkansas State. Emphasis on showing up ready, no excuses. Many athletes get bypassed because they're not ready to compete. Training and preparation trump hype and social media. 🎧 Quotes of the Show "If you're going to a speed trainer who tells you not to run... you might be with the wrong trainer. 🔁 Catch Up or Rewatch 📺 football360show.com – Full episode archives 📻 KLIS 590 AM – Saturdays at 11 AM (or stream at louinfo.com)
