The 39th 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 45th season as a basketball scout and his 39th 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 24-28 and a mini-camp July 9-10. This report will cover the second session, held July 9-10. 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, Keita Bates-Diop, Jeff Brooks, Rex Chapman, Tim Couch, Richie Farmer, Travis Ford, Pat Graham, Darren Hancock, Allen Houston, Jack Ingram, Jimmy Jackson, Tony Kimbro, 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 White.

The five past final fours (2010-2014) have had at least one former High Potential® "Blue-Chip" camper.
All games are played full-court in Alumni Gym and the intramural complex. Certified trainers are on duty at all times.

This was just a partial list of players who impressed these two days but there were several more that have the ability to make their mark this season.
This was my twentieth 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.
