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

Session Three

July 20-24, 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 third session, held July 20-24.  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

6-3 Jr. Michael Bramos (Grosse Pointe North, MI) had an excellent week at camp being named Best Underclassman, chosen as the Tournament MVP, and was named to the All-Star team.  Bramos demonstrated the ability to score both inside and out and dominated the final stages of the tournament championship game.  6-6 Sr. Zach Allender (Bardstown Nelson County, KY) was named League Runner Up MVP, named to the All-Star team, and named the All-Star Game MVP.  6-2 Sr. Carl Hampton (Palos Heights Shepard, IL) was named League MVP, and was named to the All-Star team. 

Louisville Seneca had several players that made up the Washington team which finished runner-up in the camp tournament.  Coach Bill Kercher did an excellent job with this team and Seneca could make waves in the always-tough seventh region in Louisville this season.  Clay County (KY) could also have a good season as they got nice performances from 6-5 Sr. Brian Griffith and 6-7 Jr. Rodney Mitchell.  There were also some players in this camp with some famous relatives in Kentucky hoops folklore, including 6-3 Sr. Rob Issel (Batavia, IL), the nephew of former UK and pro star Dan Issel, and 6-6 Sr. Jeremy Givens, son of former UK great Jack "Goose" Givens.

Although the All-Star selections were well deserved, there were also several other players who played extremely well this week.  One player I was impressed with this week was 6-1 Sr. Joshua Green from Louisville Doss, KY.  Green sees the floor well, operates extremely well in the open court, and also showed the ability to take the ball to the basket this week. Green should have a good senior campaign.  There was also a lot of young talent at camp this week that could develop into future stars.

 

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.
