Reply to "Princeton Advanced Camp 07/29-08/01"

2.5 hr drive from md; wouldve been faster if there weren't so many tolls.

arrived on campus at 0815. nice town. havent really seen main parts of campus yet. 1939 dorm is old, furnishings are new. single suites. bring a fan; no a/c. registration and field is 10 min walk away.

lunch was dry; dinner much better - dogs, grilled cheese, taters. still hungry though, walked to wawa's at the end of campus. i guess everybody goes there.

clarke field is next to the football stadium. i think it was named after a former oriole catcher who became first princeton coach. nice seating on first base hill, very little shade. bleachers on third base side. press box directly behind home plate. not sure about dimensions yet, haven't been in the outfield, but cf seems at least 400 ft.

rained out so we got a chance to see indoor facility. very impressive. they have a diamond where we took grounders and shallow outfield for short pop flys.

mostly combine activities today:
timed in 30, 60
vertical jump
arm speed gun

they wanted gpa and psat or sat scores.

camp is bigger than notre dame -- 138 players.

we will have 11-12 teams with coaches from yale, brown, columbia, usna, georgetown and some d3s.

hope it doesnt rain tomorrow...
