Summer Camps for DHam, Brimah & Jalen Adams

[tcf15]

DHam invited to Nike Basketball Academy (June 26-29)
Amida Brimah and Jalen Adams are counselors for adidas Nations (July 30-August 3)

With so many recruits at these events, it won't hurt having these three as ambassadors for the program.

I'm really excited to see what a healthy offseason can do for Brimah's game.

For those who don't know what adidas Nations is:

http://adidasuprising.com/adidas-grassroots-mens-events/adidas-nations/

Since 2007, adidas Global Nations has elevated the world of grassroots basketball with a dynamic, international approach to exposure camps. Basketball is rooted in teamwork and the future success of the game is dependent on maintaining this framework. At adidas Nations, the world’s top 18-and-under players are selected to seven regional teams -Africa, Asia, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States (2016 and 2017/18). A multi-faceted international curriculum featuring NBA coaches and players, as well as current collegiate players acting as camp counselors, will provide invaluable insight and first-hand knowledge to the participants, illustrating the pressures, rigors and challenges that accompany the rise of any aspiring NBA star.

Nobody here will be happy unless Brimah spends his summer hooked up to a machine that splices Olajuwon's DNA into his.

They do have those, right?

If not, then what the hell is the university paying the genetics department for?

Sounds like a good plan.

You're SURELY not suggesting that it's anywhere near the same focus / dedication for him.

do you know what goes on at Adidas Nations? You've been there? You don't even know what actually goes on at these unnamed "big boy camps" that you've been posting about obsessively for a year.

Can you name us one big man camp that he should attend?

Being in the gym with Andre Drummond.

He needs to go to Pete Newell like all the great bigs have done.

The fact that Pete Newell is dead is no excuse. There's probably some great words of wisdom about establishing deep post position on his tombstone.

can't find much info on that nike basketball academy, but that sounds super exciting. ive read gary payton II, jarrod uthoff , niang, deandre bembrey are attending; all very talented players. also i guess the top 60 hs players, wonder if any targets will be there ( gilbert?). this will give hamilton an a1 opportunity to show out in front of scouts

Think it's the first time they are doing this. Combining all the Nike Skills Academies (Lebron, KD, etc.) into one.

Maybe I'm confused but aren't Amida and Jalen spending 4 days mentoring younger players?
This does not refer to them being at a skill camp.
