Here is a look at some of the top talents expected to participate in the April 7 event.
The Adidas Invitational is the new incarnation of what was the Michigan Showcase and the Midwest Showcase in past years. The Maximum Exposure brand, lead by Curtis Blackwell and Chanterius Brock, has brought top talents from around the country together in the Detroit area for the past few years and this event, scheduled for April 7, should be no different.
Registration is not yet closed, but it is an invite only camp.
Expected Attendees:
Jaylon Smith
LB
Fort Wayne (IN) Bishop Luers
The nation's number one outside linebacker prospect will look to show that his 4.44 at the Best of the Midwest Combine was not a fluke and his ranking is spot on. Holds double digit scholarship offers.

Warren (MI) DeLaSalle
Michigan commitment is a strong armed prospect who is currently ranked as a 5-star and the #3 quarterback in the country.
Jon Reschke
LB

Michigan commit and an outstanding athlete who helped lead the Technicians to a state title last year.

Michigan commitment has good hands and will have a chance to show he has the speed and route running skills to be a real threat at the next level.
