37th Annual Rick Bolus’ High Potential® "Blue-Chip" Basketball Camp® 2016

Session One

June 26-30, 2016
Georgetown, KY

©2016 by Ron Harrison

Introduction

The 37th 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 43rd season as a basketball scout and his 37th 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.

There are two sessions this year:  June 26-30 and a mini-camp July 11-12.  This report will cover the first session, held June 26-30.  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 Glendon Alexander, Jeff Brooks, 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, Drew Neitzel, Larry O’Bannon, Jared Odle, Scott Padgett, John Pelphrey, Ty Rogers, Felton Spencer, Scott Sutton, Sean Sutton, Dejuan Wheat, Allonzo Trier, and Albert WhiteNorris Cole also attended this camp and was a first round pick in the 2011 NBA draft and a member of the NBA Champion Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013.  The five past final fours (2010-2014) have had at least one former High Potential® "Blue-Chip" camper.

In Session I, each Senior division player plays a minimum of nine league games (not counting playoff games and All-Star contest).  All teams in both junior and senior divisions will compete in a single elimination tournament. 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.  Certified trainers are on duty at all times.

The Rick Bolus' High Potential® “Blue-Chip” Basketball Camp® is not affiliated with any other basketball camp using the names “High Potential;” or “Blue-Chip”.

Jack Cooper Mason OH added nine points and displayed a complete all around game.  5-1 8th Grader Jake Whitlock Spencer County Taylorsville KY recorded eight points and displayed nice range on his shot and a high basketball IQ.  6-0 Fr. Vontray Nickerson Mt. Morris MI was named Camp MVP for the Junior Division showed his athleticism with some nifty moves around the basket and rebounded well but only scored five points tonight

 

6-3 Fr. Kenny White Hopkins County Central Madisonville was named MVP for the Gold Team and scored 10 points.  White possesses good natural ability and the size necessary to achieve stardom.  5-11 Fr. Koby Thomas Oldham County Buckner KY, 6-3 Fr. Anthony O’Neal KY Country Day Louisville KY, and 6-8 Fr. Preston Murrell John Hardin Elizabethtown KY scored eight points each.  There is nothing fancy about Murrell except his results.  He utilizes his size, sets picks and screens, works hard in the paint and works the boards. 

This was an enjoyable game to watch and based on potential Hopkins County Central Madisonville KY should be fun to watch in the future as they were represented by the trio of Blasin Moore, Keshawn Stone, and Kenny White in this game.

The Gray Team defeated the Gold Team by a score of 65-53.  6-4 Jr. Ethan Haynes Boone County Florence KY was named MVP of the Gray Team and scored 20 points.  Haynes is a smooth operator with all around skills and plays under control.  6-0 Sr. Noah Cunningham North Hopkins Madisonville KY added 14 points.  I have seen Cunningham shoot better but he impresses with his athleticism and has a quick release on his shot.  6-0 Sr. George Haynes Our Lady of Mercy Fayetteville GA recorded 12 points tonight.  Haynes is a slasher who can get to the rim.

 

5-7 Sr. Terrell Wilson Mount Juliet TN was named MVP for the Gold Team and scored 20 points including six three point baskets.  Wilson’s range on his jump shot was very impressive and he showed confidence in his ability to score.  6-0 Sr. Kel’Shawn Mozee Butler Louisville KY added 13 points including three three point baskets and plays well above the rim.  The atmosphere was somber for this game as 6-5 Fr. Ksuan Casey Hopkins County Central Madisonville KY injured his leg attempting to dunk before the game and was transported from the facility by ambulance.  Casey began the camp in the Junior Division but was rapidly moved up to the High School Division where he was selected as an All-Star.  Best of luck to this young man and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Conclusion

This was my eighteenth 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.
