Just got to the Craft Center with my son for the Cal sponsored Towns Camp. I figured I'd keep people posted on it here. I've got one excited little boy! Share your experiences at any of the camps here.
Met the team this weekend!
- Thread starter MbergCat
- Start date
We just walked by Baker, Knox, Gabriel, and Diallo. You don't realize how big they are until you are next to them!
Here's an update for anyone interested. Coach Cal was not there today, but to our surprise, the entire team was! What a great group of young men!
Hamidou Diallo was incredibly good with the kids. He made a lasting impression on my dad and I. Every player not only came in for the camp, they interacted with the kids the entire time! Killeya-Jones hung out with my little boy and high fives him and everything multiple times.
It's hard to get a gauge on a bunch of players just shooting around, but Baker has a quick, beautiful release. Knox's shot is solid and Green is smaller than I expected. It seemed like everyone other than Green was a giant!
Last, we got to go in Coach Cal's office and tour it. Wow, just wow! It was a day that I won't soon forget, and I believe made a lasting impression on my son. This year's group is special, if not on the court, they are least a great group of kids. I'm proud to call them my team. I think all of you will be too!

Vanderbilt was moving around just fine, but goodness his legs are tiny! Knox has a really good stroke too. Green kept trying to wrestle Gabriel and Wenyen threw him around like a rag doll, lol. It was a great experience.
I have high hopes for SK Jones. So young last year. Skilled.
Hahaha, yeah right. Although Richards couldn't hit anything.
Jones kept shooting that midrange jumper over and over. Little fade away type shot. Man, it was money every single time. I think he could end up being a huge piece of this team.
No problem brother. To be completely honest, I figured a lot of people would be interested. When I didn't hardly get any replies, it surprised me, lol.
Yeah that's better. Did they teach the kids to walk slow at this camp?
Did Briscoe come back and try to score some nuggs?
He finally picked up his pace! And Briscoe wasn't there, because as he said, he doesn't play for Kentucky.
Come on, @FrankUnderwood we all wanna know if @MbergCat advised them of the proper walking technique. The hell with shooting technique, that comes second to the proper fast paste walking technique. You know this, man.
I can't figure out how to post pics on here from my phone. I would post several!
Sweet. Hopefully you were fortunate enough to snap some shots of the proper fast paste walk technique. Here's to hoping and praying.
This is for Mberg and Cowtown. Here's a proper slow walking technique demonstration.

Good deal for you all. Like these type of threads. What a cool memory for your family
Went last years to Towns' camp. He was one of the nicest most genuine players I've ever met. An experience my son will never forget, that's for sure. Even met Booker who was there working out for the summer. It truly was one of the best things a Wildcat fan can experience, young and old alike. The entire team was there helping. Got a shirt signed by the entire team, ball signed by entire team, ball signed by just KAT, and a few other things. They're more than willing to sign any and everything. Got a pic with my boy and Robic, later after getting home and looking at them, Isaac had photo bombed it. I tweeted it and a few of the player retweeted and liked it. It was pretty cool.

Good stuff, OP. You and your kid and your dad now have memories to last the rest of your lives. I'm sure it will be talked about in your family for years to come. Especially that you got a lot of pics to go with it. I think you need a special account (free, but you have to join it) of some sort in order to post personal pics on this site. You might try that. I was just told one of them is imageshack.com and they give you a free month to post pics. I guess there are also other sites like it that you can use. Maybe someone else on here that uses those can help you more.
You can upload pics from your phone (or computer) to imgur.com for free, forever
There is no way this is possible. According all the Indiana fans that I see, these mercenaries that are ruining the college experience don't have any ties or love for university they rent their services too.
You did a great job and I'm sure most everyone appreciates it. Must have been a Blast for your son. Thanks for all the info on our boys!
