nt football news, Updated Daily

From RollBamaRoll;
Happy Monday, everyone. News is a bit slow today, but we have some interesting reads for you. We'll start with some early betting lines for key games of 2016, posted by South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the same book that has Alabama favored by ten over USC in the opener:

Updated College Football Games of the Year from Vegas: Who is your early best bet? @andrewssports @southpointlv










The Tide is currently favored by 4.5 in Oxford, by 3 in Neyland, and by a whopping 16 over Auburn. LSU is favored by 3 over Alabama in Red Stick, an exceedingly rare occurrence over the past several seasons. Doesn't mean much at this point, but interesting nonetheless. If both teams are unbeaten on November 5, the hype will once again be out of control.

[FONT=&quot]Satellite camps bring college football recruiting close to home - LA Times-rbr[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"I know it’s not for recruiting and that kind of stuff, whatever they’re saying, but at the end of the day it just elongated the evaluation period," said Demetrice Martin, the Bruins’ defensive backs coach, who attended camps in Los Angeles, Whittier and Norco. Martin considers his time well spent if he discovers one or two players he was not previously aware of. "When we have our camps here at UCLA, we find one or two … it’s a success," he said. "If I find one or two at each satellite camp, it’s a success, so I guess it’s about volume. The more you go to, the more one or twos you find."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kudos to Coach Martin for shooting straight on the intent of the satellite camps. The first link is an outstanding long-form detailing the lengths that high school players go through, and the costs involved, in getting noticed. The internet has made it easy to be seen, but it's likely also made it tougher to stand out.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]What College Sports Recruiters Can Teach Your Child - The New York Times-rbr[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I think sometimes you need to prepare your child to respond to adversity: If I want to play more, then I need to work harder. Everyone is not entitled to an opportunity to play. That’s not the way of the world. You have to earn your way. Think of [college] as a 40-year decision, not a four-year one. The life lessons learned at that institution will affect them forever.[/FONT]
