New Orleans, LA (Future150) -- The Future150 Camp made its fourth stop in New Orleans this past weekend looking for some of the top young talent the state of Louisiana has to offer. The Big Easy did not disappoint. Players from Mississippi and all over the state of Louisiana came to showcase their talents and put on a show. The Top 20 All-Star game was headlined by Jermey Treaudo (2015), Ricky Kelly (2012), and Woods' twins Trevin Woods and Trevon Woods (2014). Here is a list of the top performers from the weekend below. Top 20 Performers were invited to participate in the Future150 National Top 20 Camp in Nashville, TN on October 15-16, 2011 at the A-Game Sportsplex. Last years camp had over 60 D1 prospects in attendance.
Ricky Kelly (2012-St. Martin-Ocean Springs, MS) the 6-foot-2 inch combo guard is a wiry player with super long arms, big hands and extremely athletic when attacking the rim. He handles the ball well enough to play the point guard position and shoots it well enough to play the shooting guard. He can score on all 3 levels and makes it look easy as he dunks on his opponents in transition. Overall, Kelly was a nice surprise who with a solid basketball season is a no brainer D1 player who is clearly under the radar at this point.
Jermey Treaudo (2015-Conquringword Christian-Marrero, LA) the 6-foot-5 inch SG was probably the most talented all around player at the camp regardless of class. This freshman who is still 14 years of age is skilled beyond his years. He is long, athletic and knows how to play. He shot the ball extremely well from the mid range to go along with his attacking style off the bounce. He rebound’s the ball well from the guard position and loves to start the break and get out and run in transition. If Treaudo continues to develop at this pace look for him to be a high major prospect without a doubt.
Greg White (2014- Holy Cross, New Orleans, LA) the 6-foot-2 inch PG is a big bodied guard who knows how to run the show and has a high basketball IQ. He was one of the bright spots in the camp from the fundamental stand point. He has great court vision and likes score from the mid range. He has the quickness to guard both guard positions and shoots well enough from long range to keep the defense honest. White is the total package from the PG position and is a solid D1 prospect with nothing but upside to his game.
Kevin Kirk (2013-St. Martin-Ocean Springs, MS) the 5-foot-8 inch PG is extremely quick and loves to attack the rim in transition. He handles the ball well and seems to make all the right passes in the half court. He is a solid defender who likes to mix it up on defense and has that competitive edge every coach loves which translates to wins. Kirk’s ability to shoot the three point shot improved as the weekend went along. Overall he is a solid prospect.
Trevon Woods (2014- Riverside Academy-Luling, LA) the 6-foot-6 inch SG is a long and athletic player who likes to do it all. He can score in bunches from the perimeter or he can take you down in the post. He rebound’s the ball extremely well on both ends of the floor and has the ability to guard multiple positions due to his height and length. He made a living by scoring on offensive put backs. Woods handles the ball and shoots the 3 point shot well. Look for big things to come from this D1 prospect as his game continues to grow.
Mark Vital (2016-Molo Middle-Lake Charles, LA) the 6-foot-2 inch combo guard was one of the youngest players at the camp but don’t let that fowl you. He has a ton of talent with a lot more left in the tank. He is a long player who can play multiple positions and likes to score in transition. He shot the ball well from the mid and long range all weekend long. Vital uses his length to rebound the ball extremely well on both ends of the floor. If he continues to develop and grow like he is projected too due to his mom being 6’5” tall, look for a 6’7” point-forward who can do it all.
Trevin Woods (2014-Riverside Academy-Luling, LA) the 6-foot-6 inch SF was like looking at his twin brother in the mirror on the court. He is a long rangy athlete who likes to play a little more on the inside and take smaller players in the post. He shoots the ball well from mid range and can score with the best in transition.

Adams has the quickness, strength and length to guard multiple positions on the floor. Since the last time we saw Dustin he has vastly improved and is a solid D1 prospect at this point. He has an offer from SE Louisiana. He is hearing from Samford, Jacksonville, Air Force, Louisiana Lafayette, and Stephen F Austin.
Tyree Griffin (2014-OPW-New Orleans, LA) the 5-foot-8 inch compact player might have been the best all around PG in the entire camp. His speed and quickness gave his defenders fits on both ends of the floor. He loves to score in transition especially from the mid range.
