Continue ReadingThere are no names more universally revered in the high school basketball ranks than Morgan Wootten. He won the Naismith Scholastic Coach of the Century (the last one) for goodness sakes.
This week four players from Kentucky (Willie Hill, BJ Robinson, Logan Hudson, Gerald Gray) are enjoying instruction at the Wootten Basketball Camp in Maryland. Why venture so far for a camp. Camps are littered across this nation.
“From what I know they just want to get some eyes (on them),” said Willie Hill, father of Willie Hill III. “From what I know they just want to get some eyes on him. Wootten has a vote for McDonald’s on him. Wootten has a vote for McDonald’s and so does his wife.”
The Future at PRP
Pleasure Ridge Park High School had a pretty strong 2015-2016 season (19-10), but the young 2018’s are certain to generate a more prominent wave of success.
Guard Willie “Trey” Hill has high-major athleticism. His performances with the Louisville Magic 16u indicate he is about to make a big step.
Bryant “BJ” Robinson is a more natural scorer than Hill. He attacks the rim consistently and provides an energetic slasher to the squad.
Logan Hudson has quietly begun making a name for himself. He will have to claw for PT in the fall, but brings one thing you can’t teach: size.
Gerald Gray runs with Hoop Dreams Travel 16u. His handle makes him an intriguing commodity. He defines his AAU role as “kind of a spark off the bench.”
Gray has improved his defense and consistency in the intervening months since PRP High School let out. Gray was invited to Kent State’s Elite Camp but could not attend.
All four compete with the Class of 2018. And this jaunt is yet another investment in the PRP ascendancy.
