Gophers' Jerry Kill taking advantage of satellite camps

For the first time since taking the Minnesota job, Jerry Kill is taking part in satellite camps, including one hosted by Emporia State on July 24 at Olathe North High School in Kansas.

In case you haven't heard all the commotion of this, satellite camps allow high school football players to attend camps in areas outside of where college programs are allowed to host them. It's a loophole that Big Ten teams have been taking advantage of this summer to the displeasure of the SEC.

Coach Kill had this to say about the phenomenon via the Pioneer Press:

"I think everybody's different," Kill said Wednesday on SiriusXM radio. I know a couple teams tried them last year. I don't think one of the schools didn't gain a recruit out of the camp they did. But I think certainly you can get to other areas in the country. But you have to take care of your home state. We'll jump in with some people. But just as far as going crazy with it, we still have to take care of the players in our own state and in our own region. We certainly will reach out as it's convenient to the two-week window we have."

Big Ten coaches would be foolish to want to stop these camps as they really do help school's that aren't in talent rich areas identify and connect with recruits.
