by Dinos Trigonis

(August 16, 2007)

 

The 10th version of the Fullcourt Press All-West Camp came to a close last month with the event concluding with a trio of “Cream of the Crop” games at Lynwood HS (Lynwood CA). 

A big crowd was on hand including dozens of college coaches and media sitting courtside like UCLA, Arizona, USC, Washington, Stanford, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Arizona State, Gonzaga and Boston College as well as national/regional scouts like Frank Burlison (Long Beach Press-Telegram & Scouthoops.com), Dinos Trigonis (Fullcourt Press), Joel Francisco (ESPN), Gerry Freitas (Hoop Review), Etop Udo-Ema (Fullcourt Press & Hoopmasters) and Dave Keefer and Dave Rogahn (California Preps).  The level of talent on display this year reaffirmed this event as the top regional summer exposure camp in the West.
