June has been a quiet month with mostly team camps and rest for the weary travel, but July promises to be an outstanding month with alot at stake for our hoopsters.
Making this July even more vital than most is the fact that college coaches could not go out for the April evaluation period and thus had to hold their notes till July.
I have made a list of some of the top events that should have some Tennessee participation.

If anyone is playing in some other events let me know and I will certainly try to give you some coverage if you give me some details.
My plans are coming together and depending on whom I have to cover for this July I beleive my tentative schedule is as follows:
It Takes 5ive Classic in Cincinnati
Hoosier Shootout in Indianapolis
Kentucky Hoopfest in Louisville
Peach State Summer Showcase in Augusta
Nike Peach Jam in Augusta
Orlando for a cavalcade of events. A busy July should give us some superb coverage and please coaches of the various programs those who know me know I will write stories for your events and kids if you send them to me. Its impossible to be everywhere but I am trying.
