INTRODUCTION
On Sunday, September 20, 2015, the 2nd Annual High Potential “Blue-Chip” Camp and Recruiting Service is coming back to the Chicago metro area to hold a one-day fall basketball showcase at Lincoln-Way North High School in Frankfort, IL, near the junction of Interstate 80 and Interstate 57. Over 30,000 players from across the United States and the world have attended our camps and events in Kentucky, Florida, Illinois and Ohio. The High Potential “Blue-Chip” Basketball Exposure Camp has been rated by USA Today among the top camps in America. I have had several campers attend from the state of Illinois especially in Chicago over the years, and I have covered and evaluated players from Illinois for over 40 years as a high school basketball scout. This makes “Blue-Chip” a natural fit for one of the nation’s foremost basketball hotbeds.
No matter what collegiate level you intend to play, exposure is key for any player to receive a college basketball scholarship. With cutbacks in staff and budgets by colleges nationwide along with fewer days to evaluate players, college coaches overlook more and more deserving players every year. The High Potential “Blue-Chip” Fall Showcase intends to increase each player’s college exposure as well as their athletic development. Numerous college coaches and recruiting and internet services have attended “Blue-Chip” over the years to scout the talent.
Over 400 college coaches nationwide representing all levels of play will be invited to attend the showcase. Coach Tom Anstett, who has over 22 years of head coaching experience in the Chicago area, will be in attendance as one of the Showcase’s player analysts. The Showcase will take place in all air-conditioned athletic facilities which include three full size indoor basketball courts.
A Showcase Internet Report will be available in mid-October to almost 2,000 colleges across the country. Also, the showcase will be featured on our blog at http://basketball-camp.net/about-us/blog and at www.kyprephoops.com which has almost 5,000,000 hits along with Facebook and Twitter.
Why pay over $200 which some fall events charge when you can just pay $99 to attend the High Potential “Blue-Chip” Boy’s Basketball Fall Showcase and get more exposure and more bang for your bucks! There will be a high school division only but advanced and skilled junior high school players are eligible to attend.. Regardless of your age or playing ability, there is a place for you at the High Potential “Blue-Chip” Fall Showcase.
Our Showcase could be the "difference maker" in order for you to receive a college scholarship and to get your name on the radar screens of college recruiters. Contact me for a free brochure or register on-line. A confirmation packet with either be mailed or e-mailed to you once I receive your registration form. Let the High Potential/Blue-Chip Fall Showcase take your game to its highest level - you won’t regret it.

P.S. Over the past 36 year history of the camp, there have been several McDonald’s All-Americans, states’ Mr. Basketballs, All-State players and NBA players that have had “Blue-Chip” on their resume. Did you know that Norris Cole of the Miami Heat attended “Blue-Chip” in 2006 and five NCAA Final Fours (2010-2014) had at least one former camper?

Remember, it’s sometimes difficult to rank players if we don’t see them; thus, let your college exposure begin with us.
