This year's camp featured a bevy of talented and available prospects from Georgia and nine other states. The opportunity for exposure was certainly there for the players, as the Oglethorpe facility was packed with NCAA Division II, III, NAIA, and Junior college coaches throughout the day.
All of the players in attendance participated in skill stations for the first part of the camp. They then progressed to to the scrimmage portion of the camp, where each team played three games throughout the day. The Camp concluded with a Top 30 All-Star Game, as chosen by the scouts and coaches in attendance.

His footwork and interior moves have improved considerably since his appearance at the SEBA Shootout last Fall. Runs floor well. At this current stage; He is a prospective Division I player.

Alex Garay (6’ 5, Forward, Etowah, 2010)

He had ten assists in his first game, which was quite impressive considering he played only half the game of a running clock contest. Has excellent court vision and a high basketball IQ.
