The Stars Return to Storrs

The top notch Uconn players are making their way back to Storrs to help Jim Calhoun run his first camp for varsity players. It will cost $100 dollars and will be held Friday and Saturday. Stars like Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, Donny Marshall, Caron Butler, Rudy Gay and Marcus Williams will more than likely show.

This is a recruiting tactic in a camp drag. It is legal by NCAA rules only if it is open to anyone but having top talent alumni teach at your school attracts high talented players like Jordan Hamilton, Deshonte Riley, Festus Ezeli and John Riek.

Calhoun has a plethora of guards and is now focusing on low post players and shot blockers because this is most likely Thabeet’s last year. He’s looking hard at Festus, a coachable and intelligent player. This camp is just another tool to wow these kids and get a leg up on the other schools.
