When the nation's top 166 high school football prospects flock to The Opening at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton each year, it becomes an opportunity - for players to raise their stock and to bond with potential future teammates and for evaluators to get a clearer idea of the rankings.
So far, several Oregon targets have taken advantage, most notably ESPN five-star athlete Devon Williams, who is clearly one of the best players in the country, and Talanoa Hufanga, who probably earned a fifth star this week.
Here's a look at the top stories of The Opening Finals:
