Mark Richt, apparently, does not plan to mess with success.
The second edition of his Paradise Camp will look a lot like the first, with former Hurricanes stars serving as guest coaches to dozens of the nation’s top high school recruits. In the week leading up to the event, Richt tweeted his roster of guest coaches.
Monday, he named four: former UM linebackers Jonathan Vilma, Jon Beason and D.J. Williams, and tight end Jeremy Shockey.
Tuesday, running backs Willis McGahee and Najeh Davenport were added, along with receivers Devin Hester and Michael Irvin.
Wednesday, he named Bryant McKinnie and Brett Romberg, who will mentor the big men up front, and defensive backs Antrel Rolle and Kenny Phillips.
Thursday, two more well known names: defensive linemen Vince Wilfork and Calais Campbell.
On Friday, Richt dropped a fan favorite: Ed Reed, one of the greatest safeties in history.
Last year, the event debuted with Ray Lewis and Michael Irvin speaking to attendees, UM coaches and former players instructing recruits through drills and everyone — really, everyone — giving positive reviews. Even the lightning decided to stay away.
The invite-only camp, which runs Friday for ninth- and 10th-graders and Saturday for those entering grades 11 and 12, will be held on UM’s intramural fields. The program is building a $34 million indoor practice facility on its usual practice home, Greentree.
