Ichiban had several 2020's on hand at #HoopAholicsCamp

Gene watts was involved with this stuff when I first came on the scene and over the years we've built a relationship that seems to get stronger year after year. He was gracious enough to have me come down to his Boot Camp last season which had over 100 kids for the two day event. I love finding hidden treasure, kids on the rise or just those who are will to learn and although several caught my eye, Nina Millner and Jasmine Brown simply blew me away, read more

One thing I rant and rave about, yes one thing, is that I want to see progression. That other SC knows who's been naughty or nice, good for him, this one wants to see who's been working on their games or not and for the simple fact is I'm assuming the majority of players hope to achieve next level dreams,, it's not going to happen without work

Nina Milliner and Jasmynne Brown showed me progression and I was impressed with them six months ago.
