Pat Bostick is heading to the 2006 EA Sports Elite 11 Quarterbacks Camp in Southern California at the end of July.

Only the top dozen senior high school QBs in the country are invited to this prestigious annual event, which has seen the likes of Matt Leinart, Vince Young, Brodie Croyle, Carson Palmer, David Carr, Ben Roethlisberger (who Lalich draws comparison to) Drew Weatherford, Kyle Orton, Chris Leak, Tim Tebow, Casey Clausen and Brock Berlin among its alumni.
…
Some of the other QBs invited include Stephen Garcia of Tampa, Fla., and three QBs from Texas: Brock Mansion (committed to Cal); Ryan Mallett (Michigan); and Jarrett Lee (LSU). Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame), Pat Bostick (Pitt), and Willy Korn (Clemson), are also among those invited along with Hampton’s Tyrod Taylor (uncommitted).

Tyler Palko also went through the camp which runs from July 24-27. Some of the others attending includes Peter Lalich (UVA), John Brantley (Tenn), Aaron Corp (USC), Keith Nichol (Mich. St.) and Stephen Garcia (uncommitted).

Meanwhile recent verbal commit, Greg Gaskins gets a nice piece in his local paper.

Six months ago, Greg Gaskins wasn’t even on the radar of NCAA Division I-A college football programs.

But that was before Gaskins added two inches and 25 pounds to his frame.

Schools at the highest level suddenly started taking interest in York High’s 6-foot, 4-inch, 285-pound offensive lineman.

The University of Pittsburgh and the University of Maryland, along with Division I-AA University of Massachusetts, offered full scholarships.
…
“By April, we said, this kid is a I-A player,” York High head coach Matt Ortega said. “Some of the colleges said ‘We’ll follow him his senior year.’ But Pittsburgh and Maryland came through with the offers.”

Ortega thinks that Gaskins is only beginning to scratch the surface of his potential.

“The upside of this kid is tremendous,” Ortega said. “The kid is 16 years old. He’s a pup.”

He may be young, but he’s mature. Gaskins ranks third in his class and plans to major in either engineering or business management in college.

Hopefully this is a case where the Pitt coaching staff recognized a late bloomer’s potential before many other schools did.
