Georgetown, KY

The 27th Annual Rick Bolus’ High Potential® "Blue-Chip" Basketball Camp was held in Georgetown, Kentucky at Georgetown College.
The camp director for this camp is Rick Bolus, who is entering his 34th season as a basketball scout and his 27th year as an exposure basketball camp director. Rick Bolus started the Rick Bolus High Potential Basketball® Recruiting Service in 1973. He is also a consultant for several national basketball tournaments, shootouts, and All-Star games. Numerous colleges representing all levels of play subscribe to his High Potential® Basketball Recruiting Service.
Doug Huff will be a camp player analyst this year. Mr. Huff has been a national high school contributing editor for Street & Smith Magazine since 1975. Mr. Huff also serves on the board for several All-Star and All-America committees. His stories or columns have appeared in several prominent sports publications.
There are two sessions this year: June 25-29 and July 23-27. The first session includes a Junior division. Each session also features speakers on recruitment and academics. 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.
Some of the outstanding players who have attended Rick Bolus’ camps include Rex Chapman, Tim Couch, Richie Farmer, Travis Ford, Pat Graham, Darren Hancock, Allen Houston, Jack Ingram, Jimmy Jackson, Dan Langhi, Derek Lowe, A. J. Moye, Brad Miller, Larry O’Bannon, Jared Odle, Scott Padgett, John Pelphrey, Felton Spencer, Scott Sutton, Sean Sutton, Dejuan Wheat, and Albert White.
Each Senior division player 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 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 High Potential® “Blue-Chip” Basketball Camp is not affiliated with any other basketball camp using the name “Blue-Chip”.
There were ten teams entered in the Junior Division. They were designated South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Session Two Senior Division Summary
There was some good talent on display this week with several players making good impressions. 6-2 Sr. Reggie Shipp (West Aurora, IL) was named Camp MVP, South Division MVP, and participated in the Top 30 All-Star game. 6-5 Jr. Darnell Moore (Madisonville North Hopkins, KY) was named Best Underclassman, Camp Runner-Up MVP, North Division MVP, and participated in the Top 30 All-Star game. 6-4 Sr. Zack Fain (Nicholasville West Jessamine, KY) put on a shooting demonstration as he captured the 6-4 & Up division in all three shooting contests: Free Throw, Hot Shot, and from three point range. 6-3 Jr. Landon Slone (Paintsville, KY) was very impressive this week . 6-5 Sr. Robert Troutman (Bullitt East, KY) displayed excellent all-around skills during camp. Several other players, both from the state of Kentucky and other states, impressed and are likely to play at some college level in the future.
There were also many good young players in attendance that are likely to have “break-out” years at the varsity level. 5-10 Soph. Jonathan Thomas, a quick young floor general from Dallas Bishop Dunne, TX, appears to have a bright future. There were several other players from outside the state that appear to be on track for future stardom. Many of the young Kentucky players I have seen come up on the AAU circuit as well as school ball and their future appears bright.
On a personal note, I often read and watch stories on television about the antics of today’s spoiled athletes. However, this summer I have witnessed good young ballplayers but also, and most importantly, quality young people.

This was my eighth year attending the camp and I continue to
be impressed with the involvement and work ethics of the camp director.
He has a very “hands-on” approach and observes 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 director. He makes everyone feel welcome and provides 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.
