"Dear NUC and
Coach Schuman,
In the 4 plus years that Rivals.com has been associated with the
national underclassmen combine, I have been lucky enough to attend many
of them and almost all of the invite camps. First off, there is no other
company in the country that has given us such up close interaction with
the event and with the athletes directly. We feel as a result, we have
an edge over every other company similar to ours because of the
unprecedented access and becaus the NUC gets Rivals.com an opportunity
to see and evaluate some of the greatest athletes in the country at a
much earlier stage. NUC has also grown exponentially, and much more than
any other company (in this sector), in the 4 + years that's they have
been around. Despite this great success and growth, they are continuing
to grow by looking to exceed 60 events by 2010 in over 50 cities across
the country which means that they have access to more areas and hidden
athletic treasures in the areas that no other company will go. In
addition to all that, there is also no comparison to the percentage of
d-1 athletes and high level coaches at the events."
Thank you,
Barry Every

Dear Coach Schuman,
I just wanted to send you this thank you note. My son, Blake Lueders, participated in your NUC combine as a sophomore in May 2008 in Indianapolis, winning the MVP trophy. I am pleased to report that currently, as of February of his junior year, he has received ten (10) D-1 football scholarship offers (Stanford, Northwestern, Indiana, Iowa, Purdue, North Carolina, Illinois, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Boston College) with many other school expressing interest. Your combine, and your website posting Blake’s combine results, were very helpful because they provided independent, verifiable statistics for the college coaches to consider. Thank you and best continued success.
Sincerely,
Dan Lueders (dad) |

writing . My kids and I thank you for not just being a dreamer but for
putting it into action . You have changed many lives and will continue
to for many years to come . Like I said . You are a True leader,
Difference maker , champion, Warrior . People like yourself are so
humble about what they do they sometimes don’t know the effect they have
so I didn’t want what you to go un noticed . Like I said could you also
pass on the props to your crew .
Finally I am Honored and excited to be a part of the Ultimate event .
When you get a second could you let me know details so I can plan
accordingly . We need to make sure since this is the Ultimate that we

I apologize for the length of the e-mail below. I
wrote it late and should have held it and edited it the next morning
to save you the pain.
Thank you for a great experience at the Ultimate
100 on Saturday. I commend Matt Yanofsky for his encouragement and
advice which significantly influenced Keith's decision to attend,
regardless of his injury. We almost decided not to go because Keith
injured his knee last week at an NFL camp at his school. He felt it
would be pointless going to the Ultimate 100 if he could not
participate in the testing.
The venue was wonderful. Keith's experience playing with the exceptional
athletes that attended the Ultimate 100 made up for the frustration of
having to be on the side lines in the morning because of his injury.
His team mates (black shirts) called him Tom (Brady) from the time the
team was put together and I'm sure they were concerned how they would
fair with a QB that could only do the bench press. Their concerns
were quickly dissolved as they came out of the first rounds seeded
first.
As parents and spectators, the 7 on 7's were awesome to watch despite the pouring
rain. Quite a few life lessons presented themselves through the
Ultimate 100 experience. It must feel great to have such a positive
influence on these young men.
Thank you again,
Lynn Farkas

Coach Schuman,
I wanted to say thanks for the combine you guys did in Baton Rouge this past weekend. This was our first real combine to attend. My son, Reed Gordon, (tight end) did pretty well I think and really enjoyed the experience. His forty (4.82) was a little slower than usual but still not too bad for a 6’ 3 ½”, 215 pound kid.
Again thanks for putting on such a quality event.

"It was during the off season football camps that the elder Meredith became associated with Dave Schuman and Brad Vaccaro of Schuman's National Underclassmen Combines. These two individuals along with the company that they represent helped to focus Meredith on the core skills needed to be recognized as a top college recruit and allowed Meredith to prove his worth, face to face, with the top talent from across the nation. By focusing on enhancing these core skills Meredith has been able to excel at national combines that measure a variety of factors necessary to rank individuals against one another from varying parts of the country. Rivals.com has Meredith ranked as a three-star recruit, with 5.5 rating and ranked as the 71st best defensive back prospect in the nation."

"Hi Coach Schuman:
First, wanted to tell you how well we thought you pulled off the East Ultimate 100 event. Really, really big group of kids , but you and the staff did a fine job keeping it moving and under control. Skill 1 on 1's and 7 v 7's got a little disorganized it seemd with the large groups (some kids jumped lines without coaches noticing a lot), but overall, it seemed to go well. Kevin certianly enjoyed all of it and was thrilled to receive the Overall TE award . And Cecil martin was superb to have as a speaker!! For parents and the boys!

"I never really got the chance to say thank you for giving me an opportunity to come and show my skills at your camp. If it wasn't for your camp i wouldn't be as highly touted as I was. Me and my fellow team mate Victor Marc that came and won the MVP awards for best quarterback and best cornerback. We are currently at The University of South Florida. I just wanted to say thank you."

Coach Schuman,
Hey Coach just wanted to email you and say thanks for putting on all the camps of yours I've attended the past few seasons. I wanted to let you know that I've recieved two scholarship offers in the past few months. The first was from Portland State & the second was from The University of New Mexico!
I recently did a phone interview with TheRedMenace.com and mentioned the Ultimate 100 event in Dallas, I thought you'd enjoy hearing that.
Two-a-days just started and I'm having a great time with it. Can't wait for my first game in a few weeks! ttyl

Coach: Just wanted to drop you a short note concerning my family's experience at the Charleston events that occurred between December 27, 2010 and December 31, 2010. The experience could not have been better. The competition was great. The coaches were accessible, helpful, and positive. The facilities were easy to get to and, since they were in Charleston, provided many other activities for our family over the break. Perhaps, most impressive, was the organizational skills your staff exhibited in pulling so many athletes from all over the globe together for so many fun events. Of course, attending the All World Game was the icing on the cake.
Thanks again, Angelo Perrucci

I just wanted to tell you that you guys probably run the best and most organized combine that I've been too. I attended a camp where people testing were through the roof. It was ridiculous. They had lineman running 4.10 shuttle and jumping 35 inch verticals. I just wanted to say keep doing a good job. The combine is growing really fast.

I wanted to thank you for bring the NUC Combine to Seattle. Your combine allowed me to showcase my talents and be validated in my abilities through your testing and coaches. I am honored to have received the NUC MVP award, Combine King, and fastest 40 award. Unlike some of the other competitors I do not have letters to any schools, so it was important to me to get my name out there. I especially enjoyed our interview and hope the some coaches out there will see it and maybe take notice of me.
