A self-titled “Super Soph” camp took over the Wolstein Center after the King City Classic ended on Friday.
The “Super Soph” Camp was for selected players in the high school class of 2013. Recruiting analysts Brick Oettinger of Prep Stars and Van Coleman of Hoop Masters said the 30 or so players represented a cross section of promising players but should not be considered the top prospects in the class. It was too early to know what players should be regarded the best, they said.
Among the players in the ‘Super Soph” camp were Tanveer Bhullar, a 7-2 native of India who is attending the Kiski prep school in Saltsburg, Pa. Internet reports have linked him to Kentucky, but the recruiting analysts wondered how Bhullar’s massive bulk would mesh with John Calipari’s high-octane Dribble-Drive style.
Other campers included Torren Jones, a 6-4 wing from Chandler, Ariz., center Kennedy Meeks of Charlotte, N.C., (no relation to Jodie Meeks) and wing Bo Ziegler, the son of Central Michigan Coach Ernie Ziegler.
