On to Lincoln.
With last week's Las Vegas combine in the books, Recruits Unlimited shifts the scene to a football mecca this weekend in Lincoln, Neb.
Last Saturday, nearly 300 local prospects assembled at North Las Vegas' Mojave High School to test and put their talents on display.
Mojave head coach Tyrone Armstrong hopes events like the Las Vegas Super Combine will help put Sin City football on the map.
"For a long time we have been the best-kept secret in Southern California," Armstrong quipped. "People would rather come to Southern Cal than come to Vegas and recruit kids. We are beginning to find our niche in the nation as far as football.
"The biggest thing is doing things like this, bringing out combines like Recruits Unlimited, bringing out people such as MaxPreps, NFCA recruiting services, giving students and parents (information on) recruiting and what their kids need to do to get out and go to school."
Armstrong's own Reggie Powers, a senior-to-be running back and linebacker, and Desert Pines back Michael Ball were among the combine standouts.
Check back next week for detailed coverage of Saturday's Recruits Unlimited adidas Elite Camp.
