2003 Cage Scope/High Potential "Blue-Chip" Basketball Camp

Session Two

July 6-10, 2003
Georgetown, KY

©2003 by Ron Harrison

Introduction

The 24th Annual Cage Scope/High Potential "Blue-Chip" Basketball Camp was held in Georgetown, Kentucky at Georgetown College.

The camp directors for this camp are Dave Bones (Cage Scope) and Rick Bolus (High Potential).  These two gentlemen have a total of 76 years experience in the business between them.  Dave Bones introduced Cage Scope to the world in 1957.  Mr. Bones has been a contributor to many periodicals as well as being featured in innumerable newspapers and magazines.  Rick Bolus started the Rick Bolus High Potential Basketball Recruiting Service in 1973.  Mr. Bolus is a consultant for several national basketball tournaments and shootouts and several of the top college programs in the country are among his subscribers.  Many scouting/recruiting services have entered and left the business over the past few years.  These gentlemen have withstood the test of time.

There are three sessions this year:  June 29-July 3, July 6-10, and July 20-24.  The first session includes a Junior division.  This report will cover the second session, held July 6-10.  Each session also features speakers on recruitment, academics, and basketball.  Some of the outstanding players who have attended this camp include Jimmy Jackson, Allen Houston, Rex Chapman, Felton Spencer, Dan Langhi, Darren Hancock, Scott Padgett, Brad Miller, Tim Couch, and Dejuan Wheat.  All players also receive mini-clinics.  There are mini-clinics for guards, big men, and 3-point shooters.  There are also optional competition contests as well as a written evaluation from the camper's league coach.

Each Senior division player also plays a minimum of nine league games (not counting playoff games and All-Star contest).  All games are played full-court in Alumni Gym and the newly built intramural complex.  All players receive equal playing time as substitutions are done by the clock.  All teams will compete in a single elimination tournament. Certified trainers are on duty at all times.  

The Cage Scope/High Potential "Blue-Chip" Basketball Camp is not affiliated with any other basketball camp using the name "Blue-Chip".

Division Summary

6-6 Sr. Brian Lake (Bolivar Central, TN) had an excellent week at camp and impressed spectators with his athleticism and all-around play.  Lake was named League MVP, All-Star Game Runner Up MVP, 3-Pt. Shooting Champ - 6-3 and Up, and captured the Slam Dunk competition.  The "Skywalker" award is not awarded every camp session, but after seeing 6-4 Sr. Alex Pruitt (Memphis Lausanne, TN) soar through the air it was richly deserved.  6-0 Sr. Tyler Hicks (Georgetown Scott County, KY) plays with intensity and gives 100% from horn to horn.  I have been watching basketball for more years than I care to remember, but I have seen few ballhandling displays to match the show that 6-0 Sr. Josh Moten (Peoria Notre Dame, IL) put on in the All-Star game. 

All the All-Star selections were well deserved but there were several other players who could have been named had space permitted.  I like the new tournament format where all teams enter a single elimination tourney on the final day of camp.  Team Minnesota finished 1-8 for the week but played well on the final day and made it to the championship game before getting defeated by team Wisconsin.  Wisconsin and Wyoming were compiled of players from Hinesville Bradwell Institute in Georgia, and if this week is an indication coach David Jones should have an excellent team this season.  Several players performed well for Hinesville including 5-8 Jr. Arquelio Gillespie.  6-5 Sr. Yima Chia-Kur (Mansfield Senior, OH) is a very polished player with a bright future.

 

Conclusion

This was my fifth year attending the camp and I manage to learn something new at each session.  Talent levels may vary slightly from camp to camp, but the campers have ample opportunity to display their abilities, and there are always some previously undiscovered gems.  The camp directors have a very "hands-on" approach and observe each player's performance at least once daily.  I firmly believe that players will only get better as a result of this concentrated period of competition.

 

The strengths of this camp should start with the involvement and work ethics of the camp directors.  Because of the aforementioned "hands-on" approach, I feel the strengths of this camp are the organization and the opportunity afforded each player.  The camp directors make everyone welcome and provide the official camp programs, all-star game rosters, and the list of award winners.  Another, and I believe, very important, strength of this camp is the presence of certified trainers.  Injures are evaluated and treated immediately with doctors being on call at all times.  This camp also has a tremendous up-side for players who have either not had the exposure or are late bloomers.
