SUBJECT: WHY THE HIGH POTENTIAL BLUE-CHIP CAMP IS A MUST FOR YOUR FUTURE

Prospective Camper,

The events you attend this summer are a very important part of your decision-making that affect your future. It could be the difference-maker in terms of your recruiting, playing time and development for the 2018-19 season and beyond. Below are 12 reasons why you should strongly consider attending at least one session of the 39th High Potential Blue-Chip Basketball Camps this summer at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY, near Lexington.

1. I have withstood the test of time as I have been in the scouting and camp profession since 1973.

2. "USA Today" has ranked our camp among the top exposure camps in America.

3. We offer what other camps do not offer and that is exposure.

4. 500+ college coaches representing all levels of play nationwide will receive our camp report.

5. The competition level is second to none at the High Potential Blue-Chip Camp.

6. I am on the selection committee for the Naismith Trophy Awards which chooses for both boys and girls the "High School Player of the Year", "High School All-American Teams" and the "High School Coach of the Year".

7. Besides the 500+ college coaches, numerous outlets receive our player rankings such as USA Today, ESPN, Rivals, the Miami Heat, the Hoop Scoop, Ron Harrison's kyprephoops.com and MaxPreps to name just a few.

8. We have had numerous former campers either go on to the NBA, be selected for the McDonald's All-American Game or chosen all-state for their respective state.

9. We have an outstanding staff of coaches as over 25 former staff members went on to become head coaches at D-1 colleges.

10. I maintain a constant presence in the gym as I am the first one to enter and the last one to leave each day.

11. Our camps are affordable where your parents get a bang for their buck!

12. We offer specialty camps for you to perfect your game as your prepare for next season (i.e. Shooting Camp, Post Camp, Point Guard Camp and Defensive Camp).

I have listed below our summer "exposure and specialty" camps offerings at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY, as you prepare for the 2018-19 season-you won't regret it.

HIGH POTENTIAL BLUE CHIP POINT GUARD CAMP

Written by Rick Bolus on 14 May 2018.

The High Potential Blue-Chip Point Guard Camp is scheduled for July 11-12 at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY. The communication that I get the most from college coaches nationwide are their needs for a quality point guard. Why? 90% of coaches at any level will tell you that the most important position on the team is the point guard. The lead man is an extension of the coach out on the floor. The way a point guard leads is the direction the team will go. Our point guard director is Dr. Mike Beitzel who coached 30 years as a head coach at Hanover College (20 years) and NKU (10 years). His teams were very successful because on how he was able to develop point guards. Go to the below tab for more information on our point guard camp. You won't regret it.

HPBC PG CAMP

HIGH POTENTIAL BLUE CHIP POST CAMP

Written by Rick Bolus on 13 May 2018.

The High Potential Blue-Chip Post Camp will be June 23-24 at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY, near Lexington. Once the ball crosses mid-court, the post player becomes the most important position on the floor. Most coaches will tell you that winning championships are due to the play of post players. Our post camp director is Randy Ward, the game director for the Ohio-Kentucky All-Star Game and a veteran coach with over 35 years of coaching experience in Florida, Kentucky and Ohio. Coach Ward will teacher the finer points of the post game to players in order to make them more productive for the 2018-19 season. For more information on our post camp, click below.

HIGH POTENTIAL BLUE CHIP SHOOTING CAMP

Written by Rick Bolus on 12 May 2018.

The High Potential Blue-Chip Shooting Camp will take place June 23-24 at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY. Villanova revolutionized basketball when they won the NCAA Tournament back in April as a result of shooting the three pointer. I look for more teams to utilizie the 3 ball next season as a result of Villanova's success with it. Our shooting camp will be directed by former college coach, Dr. Mike Beitzel who was a head college coach for 30 seasons at Hanover College and NKU. Players love his drills that he uses to improve one's shooting. A college coach will always find a place for one who can shoot the "J". Go to the below tab for additional information on our shooting camp.

HPBC DEFENSIVE CAMP

Written by Rick Bolus on 11 May 2018.

Our next four blogs will deal with the High Potential Blue-Chip Specialty Camps that we will conduct this summer at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY. Today I will tell about our defensive camp, a new camp for us. Coach Mike Beitzel, a former college coach at Hanover College and Northern Kentucky University will direct this camp. He has many drills that will improve one's defense. As we all know d-e-f-e-n-s-e wins games, especially at the end of the contest, when a coach wants his/her best defenders in down the stretch. A player's defensive ability often determines if a college coach wants that particular player. Click below for more information on this camp.

I'll be doing a series of our camp offerings for this summer at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY. First, our 5 days/4 nights and 2 days/1 night exposure camps. One's summer schedule will determine which camp is best for the camper. In both camps, players will play games (10 for June 24-28 and 5 for the July 9-10), do fundamental stations, hear guest speakers, compete in contests and practice daily. A camp report will be emailed to over 500 college coaches nationwide representing all levels of play. The competition is second to none as well.
