(July 12, 2008)
This summer’s Fullcourt Press All-West Camp is being held on July 11-13 at the newly minted HAX Hangar in Hawthorne CA. The 11th version of the camp attracted 300-plus of the West Coast’s top prospects including players from California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi and Georgia. Dozens of college coaches and media were on hand on opening day including Dinos Trigonis (Fullcourt Press & Hoop Scoop), Etop Udo-Ema (Fullcourt Press & Hoopmasters), Greg Hicks (Scouthoops.com), Ronnie Flores (Student-Sports.com), Gerry Freitas (Hoop Review) and Dave Nahabedian (Networx). The level of talent on display again reaffirmed this event as the top regional camp in the West.
