If you don’t know anything about the Adidas Phenom 150 Jr Camp and your into basketball, you need to check this out! http://www.adidasjrcamp.com/

150 Top Players from age groups 5th, 6th, and 7th grade are gathered in San Diego each year from all over the country via invitations that go out. http://www.phenom150.com/

In Brevard County 3 players were given these invites out of 5 for the entire State of Florida. Of those 3 invited, 2 attended this incredible event a few weeks back on August 3rd-6th in San Diego. They were Davonta Jordan and Sean Mobley, both players from the Div 1 7th Grade Brevard Elite (Cocoa based) program and this past years McNair Magnet Middle School Brevard County Championship Team.

I must say it was enlightening to see what Adidas Phenom reps, directors, coaches and executives assembled talent wise, as immediately upon stepping off the plane it was apparent these players were there to put on a show.

The program was started off 7am every morning and ran until 10pm every night. Drills, skills, events around various competitions and 3-4 games per day. The intense activity and pressures of being watched by top coaches and ranked on every move by the recruiting agencies was something to see, but to see it from what was described as the country’s finest players made sure their was never a dull moment on any court.

This was not a team exposure event, but a individual exposure event…therefore when you pack that much talent on 6 courts going 15 hours a day it was amazing to see who made to the All-Star (top 20) Teams at the end. These players were truly amazing.

We are especially very proud of our 2 local players which at the end were ranked nationally by Hoop Scoop/Adidas Phenom as follows for 7th Grade (rising 8th graders); Davonta Jordan 41st / Sean Mobley 56th. Top 33% out of 150 of the Nations Best! I can’t say enough about the hard work these two players displayed during the event, coming right off of a long season that began in January and ended just a week earlier at the AAU National Championships in Memphis. Congratulations to you both! Check out the pics..game videos coming soon. http://www.teampages.com/photo_albums/31234/album_photos
