SB Nation's recruiting guru was on hand in Eugene to watch the future Rebel quarterback win the prestigious 7-on-7 tourney.
SB Nation 'crootin expert Bud Elliott flew to Oregon for Nike's The Opening 7-on-7 event just over a week ago. The Shea Patterson-led Lunarbeast went 0-4 on the tournament's first day but then went undefeated on Sunday to claim the event championship. After The Opening, Patterson was named the winner of the Elite 11 competition, an evaluation of the best prospects from around the country.
I caught up with Bud to get his take on the week.
