David Patterson, 6ft 3in point guard/shooting guard from Rio Rancho continues to impress at college camps. Northern Arizona will be watching his progress in July AAU events after an impressive camp last week, and Grand Canyon coaches were impressed with his his shooting ability as he was a top performer at their prospect camp. His older brothers, Brady and Clay, were back to back POY in NM in 2014 and 2015, with Clay garnering Gatorade POY also.

Is there a football combine this year in Las Cruces or Albuquerque? In past years NM Preps has been involved with this activity and it has occurred in July. Please let me know if that is happening. Thanks.

One thing I noticed in talking with coaches is many teams are going to rely on young and inexperienced players in key spots.

What are your thoughts on that?
