What the best high school quarterback has to say about recruiting camps.

They were just warming up, playing catch 15 yards apart, when his partner launched the ball 20 yards over Ryan Perrilloux's head. It didn't sit well."Watch this," said Dustin Yates, Perrilloux's assistant coach at East St. John High School outside New Orleans. "To him, everything is a pissing contest. And no matter what it is, he always pisses the furthest."Seventy-five yards later -- 20 beyond its intended target -- the ball fell back to earth, landing in the hedges just beyond the end zone."Dude tried to out-throw me," Perrilloux said as he walked off the field at Ron Zook Football Camp. "So I put one over his head. Then he quit."I hate when they quit like that. Quitter."This was the reason he was here. This is the reason he was attended similar camps at Texas, LSU and Florida State. To prove that he is the best high school quarterback in the nation. To help him figure out where he wanted to play college football."(Camps) played a big deal," Perrilloux said. "Me getting there, seeing what everybody had. Seeing how the Texas coaches were detail oriented. I liked everything about that place -- the city, the coaches, the other players. Everything with Texas fit so I made my decision."And everywhere he went this summer, Perrilloux was the center of attention.At Florida State, he sat in on special chalk talk sessions with Seminoles assistant coach Ben Odom, who blew away Perrilloux with his knowledge of the game. He also joined current Florida State players during their summer passing drills.At one point, the 17-year-old threw a 40-yard out pattern and wowed a group of defensive lineman who were watching the drills. "Hey Chris, you throw that?" one asked incumbent Seminole starter Chris Rix. "Uh, no," Rix said. "It was this high school kid."At a one-day camp in Florida, Gators quarterbacks coach Ed Zaunbrecher greeted Perrilloux upon his arrival in Gainesville, using a swipe card to get he and Coach Yates into a special parking lot, then escorted him on a tour of the football facility, walking him through camp registration and setting up a one-on-one meeting with head coach Ron Zook.A similar meeting took place in Tallahasse with Bobby Bowden. And the morning Perrilloux left Tallahassee for Gainesville, he stopped by the morning camp session to say goodbye and nearly every Florida State assistant came to shake his hand."They all say the same things," Perrilloux said. "They want to talk to you about the process, about not being scared of competition. They really want to be your friend."
