Ricker, from Harrisburg (Pa.) Bishop McDevitt, already boasts 20+ offers and is one of the featured attendees along with his teammates McCoy and Kates. Walton, out of Lackey, Md. and arguably the nation's top guard will also be on hand as will Baskin (Camden, N.J.), compared by some to former New Jersey standout and current Southern Cal star Dwayne Jarrett.

In addition to those five, defensive tackle Oren Wilson (Teaneck, N.J.), quarterback Pat Devlin (Exton, Pa.), defensive back/athlete Antwine Perez (Camden, N.J.) and offensive/defensive tackle Jared Odrick (Lebanon, Pa.) are among others who have confirmed their attendance.

Invitations to the event have just recently been sent, so the talent will swell with potential appearances from quarterback Zach Frazer (Mechanicsburg, Pa.), offensive lineman Antonio Logan-El (Forestville, Md.), running back Knowshon Moreno (Middletown South, N.J.) and possibly the nation's No. 1 player, wide receiver Percy Harvin (Virginia Beach, Va.).
