TOP PERFORMANCE AT UIC ELITE CAMP

TOP PERFORMANCE AT UIC ELITE CAMP
Sunday, August 9th, 2015

It’s crystal clear that two of our Chicago area division one programs will no longer accept playing in obscurity. After viewing both programs the last two weekends it’s quite apparent that UIC and DePaul will both be able to identify the players they need to formulate a winning brand of hoops. UIC’s camp featured players from all over the state and the surrounding area outside of Illinois. It was an impressive crop of talented prospects on hand which made for a fun filled day for the Flames staff.

Northern Illinois University continues their push for long-term program success, they just added a commitment from one of the top front-court prospects in the 2016 class landing Sterling’s six foot eight Noah McCarty a top 25 guy in the class. In June they quietly wrapped-up a verbal from six foot guard Eugene German out of Gary, IN. 21st Century Charter School. German led the state of Indiana in scoring as a junior. Huskie Country will be entertained by his ball-handling wizardry and scoring feats. It looks like Coach Monty & staff solidified themselves for a few years at the guard position. Rockford Auburn incoming freshman Laytwan Porter should contribute immediately.
