Saddler is also the cousin of the most sought after Defensive End in this class (Shayne Hale) and they plan on being a "package deal".

Cameron is tired of the process and has narrowed his list to Virginia, Michigan, Syracuse and West Virginia. He may take some official visits with Shayne Hale.

The package deal seems unlikely...not dead...but unlikely. Removing some of the team links.

Saddler scores 5 TDs in Gateway rout - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

By Pat Mitsch
FOR THE VALLEY NEWS DISPATCH
Saturday, October 20, 2007

After two penalties negated Gateway touchdowns early in the first half -- and with the only Gators score coming on a safety -- Fox Chapel was lucky the score wasn't 16-0 Gateway after the first five minutes.

It was after the first quarter, though.

And it was 50-0 at halftime.

Cameron Saddler scored first on a 12-yard pass from Robert Kalkstine, then took it himself on a 74-yard punt return to pace the No. 3 Gators to a 57-7 rout at Fox Chapel in a Quad East Conference game.

For the record -- not

Gateway's Cam Saddler took the opening kickoff against Fox Chapel Friday and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown. It was the eighth time Saddler returned a kickoff for a touchdown, which tied a national record.
After getting into the end zone, Saddler headed for the sideline, clutching the ball he was going to keep for a souvenir. Then he saw a yellow flag on the field. The play was called back for a block in the back.
"That record would've made for the article of the year, wouldn't it?" Saddler said. "That would've got someone a Pulitzer Prize.
"After the penalty, I just said, 'That's it. I quit.' No one is going to kick the ball to me after this."
Fox Chapel actually didn't kick the ball to Saddler. He had moved up to about the 30-yard line, anticipating a squib kick. Saddler said Fox Chapel kicked it over his head and he went and retrieved the ball at the 5.
Later in the game, Fox Chapel made the mistake of punting the ball twice to Saddler. He returned the punts 77 and 75 yards for touchdowns. That gave him 10 returns for touchdowns in the past two seasons -- seven on kickoffs and three on punts.
