1. Football Camps This Week | So you know how all of these other colleges are getting commits right now? It's because they are all doing these summer camps. These sort of camps tend to produce a lot of commits because this is a situation where some of the players that can't afford to go visit a school, they can afford to go to a camp that is in their neck of the woods. There are pretty good odds that we'll be doing a few "Recruiting on the South Plains" over the next week or so. In any event, the Texas Tech Sport Camps website has has all of the details, but here's a summary:
North Dallas Mini-Camp - June 10th
Location: Rockwall-Heath High School
South Dallas Mini-Camp - June 11th
Location: Lancaster High School
East Texas Mini-Camp - June 12th

North Houston Mini-Camp - June 13th

3. Track and Field NCAA Championships | The official site has the details, but the men's team finished 24th and the women's team finished tied for 49th in the NCAA Championships. This is the men's 4th straight top 25 appearance. Congrats to all.
4. NCAA Things | SB Nation has a couple of stories this morning. Up first, it appears that Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany admitted that the Big Ten going to a smaller Division III type of model was just a bluff. Miami booster Nevin Shapiro made numerous claims about Miami players throwing games, but the NCAA investigation found no evidence of that.
