Hoping to take a road trip at the end of June.....the destination will be Coach Solomon's basketball camp. Lot's of business obstacles to overcome, but fingers crossed we'll be there and my son will get a good workout at the camp. He's doing the camp at Bona's and UConn in back to back weeks.....hopefully he will still love basketball after this....at 14 he needs to see how he stands against the better talent (also as a parent I have to see how he does).
It's amazing to hear the dreams of a 14 year old. The realization of what it takes to attain the highest levels has not taken hold, but it is also great to see his optimism. He practices every day (he's also playing LaCrosse), but it is not enough. As a parent I will help him achieve his dream, and his fallbacks. Hopefully at these camps we can both become more realistic.
My scouting report: At 5'9", 160lbs, muscular, strong, good jumper, fast, quick hands, terrific driver, athletic, averaged 17.5 ppg on his middle school team.....played mostly the 3, understands his lack of height will keep him in the backcourt. Has to improve his blocking out, intensity, long range shooting, needs to improve his right hand. (left handed). Has not played against good competition.
I will be on campus from the 29th of this month through July 2nd. Will post input on the team....most if not all the players will be on campus. Fox, hope to see you, I'm staying at the Country Inn
