I'm not sure you understand how satellite camps work.
You can not host an out of state satellite camp, you can only be "guest coaches" at that camp. For example, Southern Miss can work with say Samford, and be guest coaches at a camp in Birmingham, but they can't go to Hoover High School and start their own camp.
An Out of State P5 can't walk into hattiesburg and host a camp at the local High School. It just doesn't work like that. Now, you guys could invite Michigan to come be "guest coaches" at your camp, and they'd gladly come down, but they can't just show up.
This works the other way around too. When a P5 school like Alabama hosts a camp, 300 plus prospects are going to show up. The Tide can't offer all 300, and 99 percent of those players are not going to be near the caliber of Bama, but they all believe they are, so they show up anyway. The Tide instead go out and bring in a couple of G5's and FCS schools to be guest coaches at the camp. The G5 and FCS schools get a first hand look at a bunch of players, and likely walk away with plans to offer two or three guys.
Arkansas State signed 14 High School Kids last class. 12 of those were discovered at out of state satellite camps, and would never have camped with us otherwise. We're participating in 12 satellite camps this year alone...and that doesn't count the 4 instate camps we're allowed to host on our own.
