2009 New York Phenom Camp
March 14, 2009
Again for the third year in a row we have the honor of covering the New York Phenom Camp in the Bronx at Fordham University. Shamus Goss, camp director, has started a tradition with this event and it has not looked back. As always it is always a treat to see a mixture of players rumble with though gritty kids from the New York area. As usual the camp started off with a quick intro from Shamus Goss then into the early bird drill station work were we also had the pleasure of getting to see www.prohoops.net Jason Hernandez teaching players on the fundamentals of a series of jab steps and moves. Also during the course of the day the players had NCAA prep training and speed training.
