It will be almost two years that I have retired from hoops after a 48-year run. I thought many of you would enjoy Gary Fogle's podcast that I was recently on at https://t.co/UwThyqBSpg

I have spent all or parts of the last decades as a basketball scout and camp director. I've had an incredible journey from 1973 to 2021; however, every journey has an end. Thus, with mixed feelings, I've decided to retire at the end of this month. Now on to my bucket list!

It is now official. 7-2 sophomore, John Bol, who was the RU-MVP at the HPBC Camp this summer in Louisville, KY, will be attending Christian Brothers High School in St. Louis, MO, this upcoming school year. He is a legit high major prospect.

Victory Academy in Xenia, OH, is a newly established link year prep school for players who have either just graduated or will graduate next year. Contact Coach Brad Newsome if this is of interest to anyone at [email protected]

In the 41 year history of the "HPBC Boys Camp", most of which had multiple sessions, only a couple of freshmen have ever made the All-Tournament Team. This past summer two frosh, 5-9 Myles Montgomery of Minford (OH) & 5-11 Ty Price of Bowling Green South Warren (KY) both made it!

Grant County's (KY) loss is Taylor County's (KY) gain. I'm talking about 6-5 rising junior 2 guard, Mason Guffey, who recently transferred to Taylor County. Guffey averaged 13 PPG a year ago, but look for those numbers to increase this season. He's one of the state's top marksman

[Rick Bolus @HPBlueChip]

One of the top sister combinations in the Hoosier State for the upcoming season are the Wengers who attend Mater Dei High School in Evansville. Kennedy is a 6-0 senior while her sister, Kate, is a 5-11 junior. Both can play and will lead their team to a deep Class AA title run.

[Rick Bolus @HPBlueChip]

Keep an eye on 5-11 senior, Cameron Hunt, of Antioch Ezell Harding, TN. This smooth combo guard can do it all in the backcourt and will get looks from low D-1 to top D-2 for this upcoming season.

[Rick Bolus @HPBlueChip]

Keep an eye out on 6-7 rising junior Gunner Farley of Eagletown High School in Eagletown, OK. He's a versatile forward who can shoot and score. Look for him to improve leaps and bounds over the next two seasons!

[Rick Bolus @HPBlueChip]

A rising seventh grader for this upcoming season who is really advanced for her class is 5-11 Shamari Robertson of Jefferson County Traditional School in Louisville, KY. A tremendous shot blocker, the sky is the limit for her! College coaches-remember where you got this name.

[Rick Bolus @HPBlueChip]

Look for 6-5 senior combo forward, Jaiden Cox-Holloway of Richmond Heights, OH, to be on the destinations of many D-1 recruiters this fall as his stock is r-i-s-i-n-g each day!
