Also, TSU senior Jeremy Combs was one of only 38 players in the nation to receive Honorable Mention All-American honors from the Associated Press.

Coach Jones and his experienced camp staff will focus on basketball fundamentals and instruction in addition to skills sessions and team play. The camp’s goal is to prepare young players to become fundamentally sound while having fun learning the game.
