Okay, I understand some of you didn't appreciate the travelogue from my camping trip with Marcus Vick and his star WR, Brenden Hill. I figure what you were looking for was some analysis of the top QB prospects in the Virginia and Maryland summer camps. So with the aid of some assistant coaches, here goes:

1. Marcus Vick (Newport News, Va.): For starters, he's not 6'2", as some recruiting lists have him, but neither was Cade McNown (sorry, bad example). Marcus is 6-foot and a lean 185 pounds. He says he's only been lifting seriously for the last year, but he has already made some serious gains (he benches 285). He ran the forty around 4.5, but watching him in drills, he was the quickest guy at Virginia's camp and is probably closer to 4.4 than most guys who are listed at that time. Vick even smoked all three DBs he lined up against when he jumped in to play a few snaps at WR. But as great as a receiver as he could be, don't expect anyone to try and shift him in college.

Marcus' fundamentals are precise, which is the reason why he is so accurate on his throws. He has a short stride and his head doesn't move. One of the recruiters I talked to says Marcus' passing skills are more refined than his big brother Michael's at the same stage. This fall, one of his points of emphasis will be the long ball, but from what I saw all of the skills are there.

2. Anthony Martinez (Ashland, Va.): He's got a cannon for an arm. Of course, some scouts might be a bit turned off since he throws a 92-mph fastball and some think he might opt for baseball. A-Mart also is as big as most tight ends (6'4", 225) and has pretty decent feet. Nice touch too. Everything he does looks smooth. He's also a pretty mature kid.

3. Alexander Webb (Dallas, Tex.): Never heard of him? Neither had I before watching him run the forty the first night at UVa. He's a legit 4.55 guy, maybe even faster. He also has smooth mechanics, throws very well on the intermediate routes and on the run, and is a well-conditioned athlete. Webb goes about 6'1", 190. I found out the reason why he doesn't have a huge rep is because he was hurt most of last year and also spent some time as a RB. Someone will get a huge sleeper when he signs in February.

4. Kevin McCabe (Wexford, Pa.): Next year, you'll hear all about this 6'3", 203-pound QB. See, he's still just a junior, but his QB coach (former ND quarterback Paul Failla) has done some good work with him. He throws a good ball, especially on the deep ones, and is very accurate. His wheels are okay (he's around 4.95), but he will continue to get quicker and stronger. The son of a former Penn State linebacker, McCabe also has the presence and charisma you expect to see from a blue-chip QB.

5. Evan Kraky (Jermyn, Pa.): Coaches say drills and practice doesn't do Kraky justice because he is a Fran Tarkenton-style playmaker -- a real scrambler and battler. He won't dazzle you with his arm strength, but he might've been the most accurate passer at UVa. (He was the first QB to connect on the bucket toss. In fact, he hit the first two buckets.)

6. Perry Patterson (McCaskey, Pa.): Good size, around 6'3", 215, with a real live arm. Everything he wings is a bullet. Patterson was fairly accurate at UVa and showed decent mobility. I noticed he didn't seem to have the presence of Marcus or A-Mart or some of the other QBs.

7. Graham McFarland (Birmingham, Ala.): A real sleeper, McFarland (6'1", 185) has outstanding fundamentals. He doesn't have Martinez' arm strength, but he puts enough zip on the ball to make all the throws. To me, he and Webb were the two big revelations of the Virginia camp.

8. David Lofton (Plano, Tex.): The son of NFL great James Lofton is still pretty raw as a quarterback. Lofton has good size (6'3", 205) and speed (4.6), although his passing skills and presence seemed to be a bit less impressive than the other top QBs.

Since I was focusing on QBs for my story, I can't honestly say I saw linemen or linebackers, but here are seven other guys who got my attention (in no particular order):

Billy Gaines, WR (Frederick, Md.): He is really short, about 5'7", but has good speed (4.4) and excellent hands. He was beating everyone. Pittsburgh offered while many others were scared by his height. That's a mistake they'll will regret in a few years.

Michael Johnson, RB (Newport News, Va.): MJ is really quick, but has very suspect hands from what I saw. Coaches say he is a tremendous runner with great moves and vision, but those are things you only get to see in games, so I missed out.

E.J. Underwood, CB-WR (Hamilton, Ohio): A lanky, raw Ohio kid with track speed. He ran a 4.50 on a very slow track where the other "fast" guys were clocking 4.75s. His hands didn't look good and he also struggled in coverage the day I saw him.

Brenden Hill, WR (Newport News,Va.): Marcus Vick's star receiver is a good route runner and has the frame (6'3", 185) to play in any system. He struggled making some catches, but he is a very savvy kid with a lot of toughness.

Antwan Stewart, CB-RB (Potomac, Md.): Solidly built at around 6'0", 190, he just has the look of a college corner. He also had the confidence and quickness that made him stand out as the top cover guy at UVa's camp.

Jesse Pellot-Rosa, WR (Richmond, Va.): Excellent size at 6'4", 190, he also runs well. His routes are shaky though and so were his hands.

Luke Wascovich, QB-P (Lancaster, Pa.): Very athletic. An injury (shoulder I was told) kept him from throwing, but he did display a big-time leg and I imagine he will be in I-A at least as a punter.
