The Scout.com 2006 All-American Combine will be in Pittsburgh tomorrow. Can’t help but wonder/hope that at least some of the players might come in today, and catch the basketball game tonight.
Approximately 225 players will attend the Scout.com All-American Combine at the University of Pittsburgh‘s Southside Practice Facility. The event will feature a number of highly touted prospects from the classes of 2007 and 2008. The combine will be attended by players from Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia, among others.
Athletes will be tested in the 40-yard dash, 3-cone, shuttle, vertical, and the standing broad jump. They will then break into groups where they will be under the tutelage of an elite group of local coaches including West Allegheny head coach Bob Palko, Thomas Jefferson head coach and former Pitt Panther Bill Cherpak, Gateway head coach and former Penn State Nittany Lion Terry Smith and Johnstown offensive coordinator Brian Wright. The grand finale will be an hour of one-on-one testing where the proverbial men are separated from the boys. Here’s a look at some of the prospects who are expected to be on hand Saturday.
Many of them attended last weekend’s Pitt Junior Day, so this will be their second weekend in a row at Pitt.
