The Southeast Basketball Academy (SEBA) held their 2010 Atlanta College Showcase on March 27th at Oglethorpe University. The Annual Event, now in its 5th year, has established itself as one of the nation's largest exposure camps for unsigned seniors and post grads looking to receive college scholarships and playing opportunities at the next level. 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.
Here is a breakdown of the top performers from the event:
Top 13 Elite Performers:
(Note: Players Listed in random order)

Keenan Peterson (6’ 8, Forward, Banneker, 2010)
Rapidly improving big man with strong potential. Legit Post who looks comfortable posting up with back to basket. 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. With continued development, he has strong potential. Is the type of player that might greatly benefit from a post grad year; which could catapult him into a high priority target for a host of mid- major programs.

Guard prospect with well rounded guard skill set. Was a four year starter and led Bartow High to the Florida Class AAAAA Championship game this past season.

Athletic guard with good size and feel for the game. Can get to the basket off the drive and knock down the jumper fairly consistently. Can handle the ball well and create opportunities for himself off the bounce. Excellent communicator who was a vocal leader on the floor for his camp squad. Good looking prospect.
Alex Garay (6’ 5, Forward, Etowah, 2010)
Late blooming forward who had strong showing at camp. Best asset is his rebounding ability. Scored inside paint throughout the day and seemed to have a tracking radar for offensive rebounds and putbacks. Is relatively new to organized basketball and will only continue to improve as he reaches next level.
Zachary Harmon (6’ 7, Forward, Pebblebrook , 2010)
Has excellent shoulders and frame to play “power” game inside the paint. Snatched every rebound that came his way on the defensive glass and converted many offensive stickbacks. Unlike many bigs at the high school level; he isn’t afraid to bang and get physical. Demonstrated some strong post moves with back to basket. Has a bright future as he continues to develop footwork and short face up jumper.
Cory Carden (5’ 9, PG, Clearwater High, FL, 2010)
Pure Point Guard who is a true quarterback on the floor and makes those around him better. Prototypical “Coach’s son” who understands the game and has high court IQ.

Will need to improve upper body strength for next level.
Ayo Madamidola (6’ 0, CG, Central Gwinnett, 2010)
Key component of Central Gwinnett team that had tremendous run to the Georgia’s Class AAAAA Final Four. Ayo is a tough, rock solid guard who plays smart and has a very well balanced skill set.

Caught the eye of several college coaches with his impressive play.
Larricus Thomas (6’ 3, Wing Forward, Henry County, 2010)
Very bouncy wing who makes plays off his excellent athleticism. Seems to craves the opportunity to challenge defense while attacking the rim. On more than one occasion the result was an impressive highlight reel dunk in traffic. While his overall perimeter skill set needs to continue to improve; his overall athleticism makes him an intriguing target.
Aaron Robinson (5’ 9, PG, Meadowcreek, 2010)
Super quick, pass first, lead guard with excellent quickness. Had the defense back on their heels throughout the day. Has good handle and distributes ball well. Excels in the open court, where he consistently makes good decisions. Continued improvement on jumper will compliment his penetration ability well and make him an even tougher player for defenses to contain. Has ability to harass opposing ball handlers with full court pressure.
Derondrell “DJ” Jenkins (6’ 4, Wing, Claxton, 2011)
Very athletic wing with good length who thrived in showcase camp setting. Strong finisher who converted dunks throughout the camp. Showed versatility to play multiple positions and looked comfortable handling the ball in traffic. Knocked down the outside jumpers he attempted. Player with significant upside potential.
Rich Brown (5’ 11, Point Guard, Suffolk County CC, NY, Juco Soph)
In a camp containing major depth at the guard position, Rich Brown was possibly the best pure point guard in attendance. The playmaker out of New York was dishing out assists left and right and constantly created good looks for his teammates. 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. Plays within the flow of the game and does not force the action. Will make for an experienced pickup for a four year program needing a true floor general.
