Elite Gator camp draws big-name recruits

Urban Meyer hosted another edition of "Friday Night Lights'' this past weekend, the one-night camp that garners some of the nation's elite high school players.

The concept, begun by Meyer and his staff after his arrival at Florida, is one that other schools are now considering: invite some of the nation's best players to a one-day camp, under the lights to give them a feel of what it's like to play in a major college stadium. Meyer said while in Tampa last week he's proud that others are interested in what Florida has put together, adding the growing popularity of the camp has even surprised him.

For those of you who love recruiting, here's a glimpse of how some of the top prospects fared.
