COLORADO SPRINGS, Ca. – Eighty-eight players from across the country are on hand for the USA Basketball mini-camp at the USA Olympic Training Center here this weekend.
Workouts got underway – in two gymnasiums – Friday night for what could be the largest and most impressive collection of high school prospects (across all four classes) ever at any one event.
Action continues Saturday morning (MT) at 10:30, with another workout session set for 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday sessions of 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Among the players who impressed me in the gym I was at (including mostly seniors and juniors) were 6-foot-11 junior Evan Mobley (Temecula, CA, Rancho Christian), 6-9 senior Isaiah Stewart (La Porte, IN, La Lumiere Academy), 6-6 senior Kahlil Whitney (Roselle, NJ, Catholic) and 6-5 senior Bryan Antoine (Tinton Falls, NJ, Ranney School).
Mobley and Stewart are No. 1 “bigs” in their respective classes while Whitney (who has committed to Kentucky) and Antoine (Villanova) were the two best “scorers” on display in the gym they played in.
Another junior who had a strong performance Friday night was 6-8 Greg Brown III (Austin, TX, Vandergrift). He is pictured.
