Live Updates from Elite 11 Finals Day 2
8:19 p.m. PT: It was a very strong session for Alabama commit Julian Sayin. We charted him as accurate on 17 of 20 passes. We think he would’ve been in contention for the highest score had he not tried a jump pass on a deep route. But overall, it was very strong. He caught fire towards the end, completing over 10 straight passes. He is naturally accurate with a great rhythm between his feet and arm.

8:10 p.m. PT: It was a decent session for South Carolina commit Dante Reno. We charted him as accurate on 14 of 20 passes. He showed a quick release and he looked more comfortable than he did yesterday. He had a good start, but appeared to lose some confidence in the middle after a miss. The Elite 11 staff score for Reno was 38.

8:03 p.m. PT: As expected, it was a good session from Ohio State commit Air Noland. We charted him as accurate on 17 of 20 passes. He showed a natural feel and timing on his deep passes. He also operated with confidence and delivered with accuracy. It was not surprising, given his track record on Friday nights. He had a few misses he’d want back, but it was a good showing overall. The Elite 11 staff score for Noland was 41.

7:57 p.m. PT: It was a decent outing for Oklahoma commit Michael Hawkins. We charted him as accurate on 14/20 passes. He showed a quick release and had some nice passes, but a few he’d want back. The Elite 11 staff score for Hawkins was 36.

7:54 p.m. PT: Tip of the cap to Penn State three-star tight end commit
Luke Reynolds, who has seemingly run dozens of routes tonight.

7:51 p.m. PT: It was a really nice session for Penn State commit Ethan Grunkemeyer. We charted him as accurate on 17 of 20 passes. He settled in and finished very strong, gaining confidence throughout. He’s a coordinated, twitchy passer with second life and zip on his throws. The Elite 11 staff score for Grunkemeyer was 42.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
7:42 p.m. PT: It was a good session from Ole Miss commit Demond Williams Jr. He showed good timing and accuracy overall. We charted him as on target on 16 of 20 passes. He was bouncy in his movements and to the ball out quick, spinning it well. The Elite 11 staff score for Williams Jr. was 41.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
7:35 p.m. PT: It was a very strong session from Five-Star Plus+ QB Dylan Raiola. We charted him as accurate on 18 of 20 passes. He made it look easy. He showed a strong downfield arm, not having to strain to push the ball vertically and was accurate overall. I think that’s comfortably the best session thus far, a near flawless 20 throws had he not missed the final one. The Elite 11 staff score for Raiola was 44.

7:29 p.m PT: Georgia commit Ryan Puglisi has a lot of juice on his passes. He’s a bouncy mover and had some great throws. He also had some get away from him. He looks to be amped up and overshot a few. We charted him as accurate on 15/20 passes, but the highs were impressive. The Elite 11 staff score for Puglisi was 41.

7:22 p.m PT: Colorado commit Danny O’Neil got off to a nice start. He’s very accurate, particularly within the short and intermediate areas. We charted him as on target on 16 of 20 passes. The ball fluttered a bit on his deep passes and the nose dipped some on intermediate balls. The Elite 11 staff score for O’Neil was 43.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
7:15 p.m PT: LSU commit Colin Hurley showed off a live arm. We charted him as accurate on 16 of 20 passes. He showed some nice touch at times, as well with some nice layered throws. The footwork still has room for improvement, as he wasn’t overly natural on the move and could up the urgency. The Elite 11 staff score for Hurley was 42.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
7:09 p.m PT: Florida commit DJ Lagway just had likely the best session from a Elite 11 finalist thus far. We charted him as on target on 16/20 passes with the ball jumping out of hand in a tangible way. He would’ve had the clear best session, but missed on an off-platform throw when rolling to the left. The Elite 11 staff score for Lagway was 42.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
7:06 p.m PT: DJ Lagway has uncorked some wow throws during his set.
— Jeremy Johnson, On3 National Recruiting Writer
7:02 p.m PT: It was an up and down session for Florida State commit Luke Kromenhoek. We charted him as accurate on 13/20 passes. He started strong and had the most juice on his passes of anyone thus far. He missed one badly and saw his confidence dip some. The Elite 11 staff score for Kromenhoek was 32.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
6:56 p.m PT: It was a solid session from Nebraska commit Daniel Kaelin. He was fairly accurate in this structured setting with only a few obvious misses. We charted him as accurate on 15/20 passes. The Elite 11 staff score for Daniel Kaelin is 43. I’d add that Kaelin does not have an overwhelming arm, but was able to make some nice throws there.

6:50 p.m PT: The Elite 11 staff score for Trever Jackson is 43.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
6:49 p.m PT: It took Trever Jackson a few throws to settle in, but he caught fire towards the middle of his session and finished relatively strong. We charted him as accurate on 15 of 20 passes. The big-time arm is apparent. There’s a bunch of velocity on his throws. He threw a few darts at the end to put an exclamation point on the session.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
6:47 p.m PT: Will Hammond’s Elite 11 staff score is a 45.
— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
6:42 p.m PT: Texas Tech commit Will Hammond with a decent session. He had some ups and downs, but some nice throws over the middle. He was behind on a few. We charted him as accurate on 14/20 passes.
