Training Camp Dates

Payton made some remarks about the start of training camp being July 26th. See the article below:

The official reporting date of when we can go to camp is that third week of July. I was just telling the players that we're going to report actually six days after when we can report. I don't want to alter our schedule that significantly because we're playing in the Hall of Fame game. What I plan to do is bring them to camp - much like I did a year ago - a week-and-a-half prior to that Hall of Fame game and treating that weekend much like we did the scrimmage. Instead of scrimmaging, we're going to be playing a game so there's a little bit more that needs to be installed, but I'm just a little leery of bringing them to training camp a full eight days than we did a year ago with the time we're going to be practicing. We're looking at the same timeframe, which I think is the 26th. Thursday is the first day of practice. I think we're allowed to be there on the 19th or 20th, but we're going with the 26th as the first day of practice.

They haven't announced Millsaps official, have they? I'm guessing that's where it will be too since all parties involved seem to benefit. I defintely plan on making the trip over a couple of times during camp if it is in Jackson.
