Nashville, TN (Future150) -- The Future150 Camp was back in the state of Tennessee for the 3rd year in a row on September 17th and 18th in Nashville's second appearance. The camp took place at the A-Game Sportsplex which is one of the top basketball complexes in the Southeast. Last year’s camp had the likes of Jarnell Stokes, Nick King, and Austin Nichols.
The 2011 edition was comprised of some of the top young talent and several unknown talents who have not hit the radar from Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana. The F150 Top 20 game was headlined by Jamontae Davis (2013), Rob Marberry (2014), and Chris McNeal (2015). The game was a heated battle as the Blue team squeaked out a close victory after building a huge lead early in the second half 78-76 over the White Team. Here is a list of the top performers in the camp.
Top Camp Perfomers:
Donovan Halsel-(2012-Warren Central-Bowling Green, KY) the 6-foot-1 inch combo guard was pretty much unstoppable all weekend long. He shot the ball from mid range the most consistent of any player at the camp. He has the speed and quickness to go along with good ball handling skills to play both guard positions. He showed a high basketball IQ and proved that he can get to the rim in transition and the half court while finishing with contact. Halsel is extremely under recruited due to he did not play AAU and is a diamond in the rough for any mid major D1 school looking for a combo guard.
Jamontae Davis-(2013-Hillsboro-Madison, TN) the 6-foot-7 inch SF was one of the nicest surprises the camp has seen in a while. He is long, athletic and extremely skilled on the offensive end of the floor. He loves to score from mid range and proved he can knock down the 3-point shot as well. He is a presence on defense as he uses his length to affect a lot of shot around the rim. He rebounds well on both ends and likes to block shots coming from the weak side. Davis has offers from MTSU, Lipscomb, and Belmont.
Chris McNeal-(2015-South Side-Jackson, TN) the 5-foot-10 inch PG was the brightest young talent in the camp, only a freshman but you would not know from the way he ran the show. He handles the ball extremely well and has the quickness to blow by his defender as he created for others. His shot making ability from the mid range off the bounce is something you just don’t really see from players this young. McNeal shot the ball well from deep and has good court vision which will only get better as he matures, adds more size and his game develops.
Rob Marberry-(2014- Franklin Road Academy -Nashville, TN) the 6-foot-7 inch SF is super long, fundamental and knows how the play the game the right way.

Marberry is a solid high major prospect.

He handles the ball extremely well and has good court vision when attacking the basket. He made some “WOW” passes that left his fellow campers impressed. He was probably the most fundamental player in the entire camp and has a high basketball IQ. Hodskin’s was deadly from the 3-point range which made him a tough guard.
Ryan Hardin-(2014-Station Camp-Gallatin, TN) the 6-foot-4 in SF was extremely active on both ends of the floor both defensively and offensively. He loves to shoot the mid range jumper and can finish at the rim with either hand. He showed he can guard multiple positions on the floor while taking advantage of bigger player in ability to guard him off the bounce. Hardin rebound’s the ball well from the small forward position and likes to start the break. With more skill development, Hardin is a solid D1 prospect.
Devon Robinson-(2012-Ravenwood-Brentwood, TN)the 5-foot-11 inch PG was solid all weekend long and really knows how to make his teammates better. He showed good quickness and can guard both guard positions. He has a nice mid range game and likes to attack the rim in transition. Robinson has good court vision and can score on all 3 levels.

Kareem Wright-(2013-Maplewood-Nashville, TN) the 6-foot-1 inch CG is extremely long for a guard and was one of the best overall athletes in the camp. He loves attacking the rim and is a high flyer dunker in transition. His mid range jump shot set him apart from the rest of the camp. He can fill it up from the 3-point line and rebounds well from the guard position. He can guard both guard positions due to his quickness. Wright is a solid D1 prospect.
Johnny McGhee-(2012-Briarcrest-Memphis, TN) the 6-foot-3 inch SG might have been the most well rounded player in the entire camp.

He had the best dunks of the camp by far as his teammates threw him several ally oops off the glass as he slammed them home to bring is fellow campers to their feet. He has a great mid range game and shot the ball extremely well from the 3 point line all weekend long. Mr. McGhee is a solid D1 prospect who just needs playing time and to be seen. Where have you been the last 2 years? There is no reason this player should be under the radar at this point.
Corey Sanners-(2013-North-Evansville, IN) the 6-foot-4 inch SF showed the ability to score on all three levels. He rebound’s the ball well from the wing position on both ends of the floor.

If Hatcher adds some size and speed the sky is the limit for this talented prospect.

He rebound’s the ball well on both ends of floor and can guard multiple positions on the defensive end.

Jalen Moore-(2012-Hillsboro-Madison, TN) the 6-foot SG was one of the most knowledgeable players in camp when it came to knowing how to play the game the right way. He is a coach on the floor and seems to be in all the right places on defense. He handles the ball well enough to play both guard positions.
