SOUTHWEST INVITATIONAL CAMP PROVIDES BIG SPLASH TO OPEN LIVE PERIOD!

By: Jim Hicks (RCS Sports)
Nowadays, many within the hoop community is comparing John Lucas to King Midas, because it seems like everything that Lucas touches, turns into gold. With that being said, he has a firm grasp on the hottest “non sneaker” camp in the country. One hundred, mostly mid to high major high school stars comprised the 2009 version of the Southwest Invitational Camp, and trust me when I tell you – don’t make the same mistake twice (by missing the chance to be in the building).
The SWIC started in 2007 as mostly a means to showcase many of the Gulf Coast players who were probably good enough, but for some reason or another, didn’t get invited into the mainstream LeBron James or RBK All American Camps. In just two short years, the SWIC has expanded to attract players from as far away as London, England, and is on the verge of becoming a “must stop” for dozens of major D1 college coaches. In addition to ex Houston Rocket coach Jeff Van Gundy and Houston mayor Bill White, head coaches from Houston, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Kansas, Washington, South Alabama, UT-Arlington, TCU, Texas State, Wichita State, UTEP, and were just a dozen of the 90 college coaches who lined the five courts at the University of Houston Recreation & Wellness Center to get a glimpse of the cornucopia of talent.
”This year’s event was run like a well oiled machine. I was impressed that we were able to get more skill development work done, because that’s what many of these kids lack.” On both days, campers spent over two hours rotating through ten different stations which were supervised by junior college and NAIA college coaches. This gave the young men a qualified instructor at every station.
Afterwards, the campers were “loving it” like Aunt Ester loves chicken. “I’ll be back, oh yes, I’ll be back”, promised rising sophomore Jaylen Beckham who is considered the top 2012 guard prospect from the state of Kentucky. Those sentiments were echoed throughout the building from several other campers. Many, of which will possibly be extended offers to the designer camps next year, but that doesn’t faze nor appear to be a threat to Lucas. “We don’t try to steal or convince players to not attend LeBron or Reebok (camps).” It’s only so many players that
each camp can admit. Plus, there’s just so much very good young talent in the country today, and
we concentrate mainly on the 9th, 10th and 11th graders who are determined to make it not just
to the next level, but the level after that.”
Lucas, who lives in Houston, has become a sensation with his very intense Pre Draft workouts, developmental sessions for amateurs, and most recently named head coach of the Nigerian National team which will attempt to earn a qualifying spot in the World Championships.

HOUSTON SELECT 2014 - AAU NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!
 |
|
| Houston Select 2014 trio!
|
|
 |
SUNDAY UPDATE!
Congrats to the Houston Select 2014 team! They used a big time basket with only :06 remaining to nip the North Carolina United Stars (61-59) in the championship game @ AAU Nationals. We hope to have some of the players / coaches live on this week's special episode of www.TheBasketballShow.com. Stay tuned for details.
The Houston Hoops red finished 10th place in the Division II bracket.
SATURDAY UPDATE!
In the semis, Houston Select beat the Memphis War Eagles 58-44. According to head coach Steve Trauber, "It was a battle especially having to play in Memphis against the home team. But we were in control the entire game and were able to withstand a few runs by Memphis. The boys are excited but realize to achieve their ultimate goal they have one more win." In the championship, Houston Select will face the North Carolina United Stars, Sunday @ 3:40pm.
The Houston Hoops Red (13s) beat the Ark Warriors 59-58 and will play the Charlotte Hornets with 7th or 10th place on the line, in the Division II consolation bracket @ AAU nationals.
FRIDAY UPDATE!
Houston Select 13s won 70-56 over the Arizona Stars to advance to the Final Four of the AAU National Tournament!! The local group of rising 8th graders played very well and had it in control for most of the game, leading by as many as 22pts in the final period. The Select also beat the New York Gauchos (60-41), MassachusettsABC Bengals (70-28), DC Warriors (73-34) in bracket play. There three pool wins were against Memphis Trotters (83-31), Iowa BA Select (67-31), and Columbia, South Carolina Slammers (72-59).
Saturday's 5pm semi final game will be against the Memphis War Eagles. Ironically, the national championships is being held in Memphis. Therefore, the team, coaches, and fans must be able to keep each other motivated to the point where a home cooking call won't even matter. The team is one win away from the title game. Go Select!
