Here's a list of 2013 summer football camps in California, where student-athletes can hone their skills before the start of the season. Many of these camps are taught by former and current professional and college coaches.
Check out these photos on College Level Athletes that feature the Mater Dei Monarchs vs. Bullard Knights in the 2012 CIF Southern Regional Division I Boys Basketball Championship. Mater Dei won 85-66 over Bullard, and Monarchs' senior Xavier Johnson (Colorado) dominated again. If Mater Dei ends up winning the California State Title, look for Xavier to take home Tournament MVP honors.
Now that signing day has passed, the majority of recruits have made their decisions. As always, the state of California produced a horde of talent for the big schools to court. The 2012 class of California recruits will surely make a lasting impact on the universities they attend. There are a number of future stars to look out for.
A hard hitting safety with unlimited upside, Shaq Thompson is taking his talents to Washington. After making commitments to Cal and Oregon, the 6’2 210 Grant High standout felt most comfortable with the Huskies and will join former high school teammate James Sample in the Washington secondary.
Widely considered one of the top defensive backs in the nation, Thompson should make his presence known right away. With the influx of offensive coaches like Mike Leach and Rich Rodriguez in the Pac 12, the Huskies are counting on Thompson to quarterback their defense for years to come.
