The 25th 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 78 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 definitely withstood the test of time.
There are three sessions this year: June 27-July 1, July 4-8, and July 18-22. The first session includes a Junior division. This report will cover the second session, held July 4-8. 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, Derek Lowe, Jared Odle, 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 in both junior and senior divisions 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”.
Players from twenty-one states, Canada, and Korea are scheduled to attend this session.

Senior Division Summary
6-3 Sr. Blake Hubbs (Harlan Cawood, KY) and 6-1 Sr. Steven Sexton (Monticello Wayne Co., KY) impressed observers this week with their long-range jump shots. 6-1 Jr. Pete Gifford (Lexington Lafayette, KY) displayed the ability to score points in a hurry. 6-6 Jr. Cameron Thoroughman (Portsmouth Clay, OH) displayed a well-rounded game and also possesses great range on his shot. Olajuwon Kemp, a 6-7 Sr. from Bolivar Central, TN, is an athletic shot blocker who runs the floor extremely well. 6-3 Sr. Michael Mobley from Ft. Worth Fossil Ridge, TX had an excellent week and is a quick, hard-nosed player who can shoot the ball. 6-3 Jr. David White from Uhrichsville Claymont, OH displayed a fine all-around game and should have a nice future. 6-8 Jr. Brett Miller from Ashland Paul Blazer, KY played well in the paint this week.
5-5 6th grader Anthony LaVallis from Pontiac Jefferson M.S., MI shows a lot of potential and a maturity on the court not expected at his early age. 6-5 Sr. Jonathan Avery (Mansfield Senior, OH) and Derrick Endicott, a 6-8 Sr. from Louisa Lawrence Co., KY, also had impressive camps. 6-4 Jr. Forrest Smallwood from Louisville Male, KY impressed observers with his hard work and ability to get to the rim. Dee Smith is a veteran of this camp and this 5-6 So. from Lexington Sayre, KY had a very solid week. Although Smith is only 5-6, he is deceptively strong and can score as well as dish the ball. 5-8 Sr. Matt Roberts from Carrollton Carroll Co., KY shot the ball well and used his leaping ability to capture the slam dunk title.
Although it is impossible to mention every player here, many impressed with good performances and excellent work ethics this week.
This was my sixth year attending the camp and I continue to be impressed with the involvement and work ethics of the camp directors. They have a very “hands-on” approach and observe each player’s performance at least once daily. While talent levels may vary slightly from camp to camp, the players have ample opportunity to display their abilities, and there are always some previously undiscovered gems.
The strengths of this camp should start with the aforementioned work ethics of the camp directors. 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.
