Houston Camp 'Top Prospect' Report

6'1 Point Guard Elton Richardson  |  2026 Cy Falls HS 346-493-2274 Crafty Lead Guard That Competes at a High Level, Does a Great job of making it tough on opposing teams to get in their offense with his relentless ball pressure, and is a College Ready Leady. At both the Houston Camp and TX State Team Camp Elton was the engine that made the car run throughout the Day.  He Continues to add something to his game every time I evaluate Elton in College Level Settings & that is an Indicator that he is putting in the work it takes to turn Interest to Offers when It's all said and done.  Super Quick Playmaker in the Open Court and 2-Way Player to get your eyes on in TABC and the Late Live Periods

Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2+

​​​

6'5 Playmaker Greg Dumas  ​|  Paris Junior College Sophomore 248-445- 2591 Big Guard that Shows the Ability to Score it at all 3 Levels, Rebounds it a high level from the Guard Position, and is a tough matchup on Offense with his ability to take smaller guards down low or SF out on the Perimeter  and Make Plays.  Really liked Greg out of HS & Nothing has Changed- He's just bigger, stronger and has a better understanding of what it takes to compete every possession at the college level after 2 Years of JC Ball.   Caught in a early Coaching Change this Past Year at Paris JC, but adapted and finished his Sophomore Season strong in one of the toughest JC Conferences in the Country (Region 14) NAIA's Still Looking for Best Available Players Need to Look into big Greg, He's a late Steal that will Come In Immediately and Make an Impact

​

6'2 Shooting Guard Ja'Varius Thompson  | JC Soph SAU Tech 240-472-7735  The Best Shooter Hands Down At The AR Camp Was SAU Tech Soph Ja'Varius Thompson, and  nothing changed in Houston.  Not sure why he is still available with his Size and Ability to knock down Shots a  high %.  Coming off a very Productive Sophomore Season where he avg. 14ppg and pulled down 5rpg from the 2 Position, to go along with the fact that he is extremely coachable and competes I can't see him unsigned for long.   NAIA Programs that Shoot a Lot of 3's or need to add a Knock Down Shooter who has Experience Need to Get Game Film on JT!  He's a No Brainer for a NAIA Program or Solid Pickup for NCAA D2 Programs That Run a Lot of Dribble Drive Action and Shoot a high Volume of 3's

Texas State Team Camp Recap

 After Getting a Call From Long Time Friend And Assistant Coach (Donte Mathis) At Texas State Asking If I'd Like To Put a Few Teams Filled With 'Top Prospects' From UC Exposure Camps- I Jumped On The Opportunity Without Hesitation.  As I Drove To Houston To Run My Camp The Day Before Games Begin, Apprehension Set In As I Thought It's No Different Than Putting 2 Teams In RCSports SIB Sr Showcase.   WAIT- Well YES It is those teams made up of Sr's That  Have Been Working With Me All Year In My College Prep Program Offered To 'Top Prospects' At My Camps.  Key Word Being- PREP & UC Teams In SIB Showcase Are Prepared For Those Moments Know What They Do Best & Have a Clear Understanding of What College Coaches Truly Look For When Researching 'Top Prospects' In The Year Round Program.  As I Met With Both Teams Before Tip-Off Without Time To Truly Prepare Them For The Moment We Went Over The Four C's That Are Simply A Choice And Hope For The Best And That Was:  1. Compete Consistently 2. Communicate Verbally & Non-Verbally In a Positive Manner 3. Handle Correction / Coaching 4. Care About TEAM Success Over Individual Awards- After Handing Out Jerseys & Our Short Meeting, I  Walked In Thinking WTH Am I Doing It's Summer Time and These Teams Made Up of  'Top Prospects' Playing In TX State Team Camp Have Only Recently Been Added To The Program, Never Practiced or Played Together, And Haven't Had Time It Takes To Truly Elevate Their Game or Understanding To Go From Elite Varsity Player To College Level Recruit Which Is The Mission of Uncommon Exposure & There Is No Secret Pill Or Easy Road You Can Pay For To Accomplish What It Takes To Turn Interest To An Offer.  How The Heck Am I Going To Prepare These Kids or Get Them To TRUST What Is Important To Have a Good Showing And Represent Themselves Well-  Having Said That,  These Two Teams That Played Were Made Up Of Players That Showcased The Most Will, Effort and Toughness at a Camp so that's a Good Starting Point-  Not Only Did These kids Bring That To The TX State Team Camp, I Couldn't Be More Proud of THEM On How They Handled The Four C's Mentioned Above & What Separates Uncommon Exposure Camps From Overcrowded Showcases When It Comes To Finishing on 'Top' at a Camp.   They Did More Than Represent What An Uncommon Recruit Should Look Like, They Exceeded My Expectations So Let's Take a Look At Both Groups
