Conflict creates camp conundrum <!-- icons are from http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/ --> By Kevin Gorman TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, May 7, 2006 When it came time to choose a football camp to increase exposure, Jeff Stewart's allegiances weren't with a particular shoe company. The Bethel Park quarterback was focused on making an impression on Pitt quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh, so he attended the adidas Elite camp Saturday at the UPMC Sports Performance Complex. "I'm really looking at Pitt, and I knew Coach Cavanaugh would be here," said Stewart, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior who passed for 1,311 yards last season. "I wanted to go through some drills in front of him." Choosing a football camp wasn't so simple for every college prospect this weekend. Because of a scheduling conflict that pitted the adidas Elite camp against the Nike Training Camp at State College, Western Pennsylvania players had to choose their affiliations: Pitt and adidas. Or Penn State and Nike. "Obviously, there's only so many weekends, and we scheduled this camp two months before any other camp dates were announced," said Greer Monterastelli of Recruits Unlimited, a Lincoln, Neb.-based company which runs the adidas camps. "Pitt didn't want us to use this facility on (NFL) draft day, and the Steelers are having minicamp here next weekend." Keystone Oaks defensive lineman Myles Caragein got a taste of both camps by traveling to Ohio State on Friday for a Nike camp and attending the adidas camp yesterday, where he was one of its standouts. "This was a good camp, but at Nike there's a lot more college coaches there," said Caragein, who already has 10 scholarship offers. "I think it gives me a chance to compete against kids who are highly recruited and perform in front of college coaches." The camps are as different as their logos. The Nike camps attract as many as 500 prospects and dozens of colleges, a scenario that makes it difficult for a borderline Division I prospect to create an impression. By contrast, the adidas camp drew 300 prospects and only a half-dozen colleges. Gateway coach Terry Smith worked as a counselor at the adidas Elite camp, but sent the Gators' top three prospects - receiver Jon Ditto, cornerback Cameron Saddler and linebacker Shayne Hale - to Penn State. Other Gateway prospects attended the adidas camp. "They got more exposure," Smith said. "Plus, the kids got a lot of reps in one-and-ones here." That benefited players like Woodland Hills junior Devan Johnson, one of the top linebackers at the adidas camp. Johnson played tight end exclusively last season, so it was the first chance for college coaches to see him in defensive drills. "There was great competition here," Johnson said. "I wish there was more coaches here. I saw about four or five schools." Coaches from Akron, Buffalo, Pitt, Rutgers, Stanford and Tennessee - all adidas-sponsored schools - were in attendance. Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt made the rounds during the camp, as did most of his staff. One of the chief complaints about the adidas camp was its laser timing at the start and finish of the 40-yard dash. Nike, by comparison, uses a laser start, but a hand-held device to time the finish. As a result, some players were timed several tenths of a second higher than they anticipated. "It's a touch of reality for the kids," Monterastelli said. "There's been a lot of studies done that show a difference of .24 seconds in human reaction time. We take the complete human error element out of it." The testing is only beginning, as May is the evaluation period for NCAA coaches. Nike has upcoming camps at Rutgers, Stanford, Florida, Clemson and Oregon, while adidas will have camps at UCLA and North Carolina State. The UPMC complex will play host to Joe Butler's Metro Index camp over the next weeks. "That's the nature of the beast," Monterastelli said. "Kids have so many opportunities that you can do some camp somewhere until the first of June. There will be a lot of kids who will be camped-out."

If he trimmed down a bit and got a little faster, mighthe be a candidate for middle linebacker? How fast was Schlegel... I think he was about 6'1" 250+ too.

Pitt lands Keystone Oaks lineman By Kevin Gorman TRIBUNE-REVIEW Friday, June 30, 2006 Myles Caragein has played virtually every skill position on a football field, but his prowess on a wrestling mat had college coaches dreaming of the Keystone Oaks star playing defensive tackle. The sport has taught Caragein an understanding of leverage, and he used his considerable talent to draw 30 scholarship offers from schools in the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten and Pac-10 conferences. The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Caragein ended his recruitment Thursday by making a verbal commitment to Pitt, choosing the Panthers over North Carolina, N.C. State, Northwestern and Purdue. Clemson, Iowa, Maryland and Stanford were among his offers. "I've been thinking about it the last couple weeks, and it just came to me that I wanted to go to Pitt," said Caragein, who has a 3.7 grade-point average and was recruited by Greg Gattuso. "The hometown atmosphere, good academics and, more importantly, the coaching staff - I fell in love with them." Caragein is Pitt's sixth recruit from the Class of 2007, its second from Keystone Oaks and third from the WPIAL. He follows teammate Chris Jacobson, an offensive guard who committed in February and has been pushing Caragein to join him. "He's been saying this or that," Caragein said, "but this was 100 percent my decision." Caragein is the defending WPIAL Class AAA heavyweight wrestling champion and won a Roman-Greco national title in the cadet division last summer. Wrestling has helped not only with his conditioning - he ran a 4.86 40-yard dash at the Nike Training Camp at Ohio State - but also with his hands and hips. Caragein was a first-team All-Greater Allegheny Conference selection as a junior, when he played fullback and tight end and had 24 receptions for 268 yards. But the three-year starter was coveted on defense, where he has played middle linebacker and defensive end and finished with 50-plus tackles, including 14 for loss, and eight sacks as a junior. "His best football is ahead of him," KO coach Nick Kamberis said. "We ask him to do so many different things, he doesn't get a lot of practice time at anything. Once someone tells him he's going to put his hand on the ground and shows him what to do, he'll be dominant."
