Rick Bolus, Founder of High Potential Blue Chip, Scout
Rick Bolus High Potential "Blue-Chip" Basketball Camp is a youth basketball camp organization that holds camps annually during the summer months. The camp was created by basketball scout Rick Bolus who is based out of Kentucky. The camps are primarily held at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY.
The "Blue-Chip" Basketball Camp was created by Rick Bolus in 1980 for the purpose of providing exposure and evaluation for middle and high school level basketball players during the summer offseason. Bolus has served as a basketball scout since 1973 when he started the High Potential recruiting service. The camp was created particularly to help provide awareness for talented "sleepers" that could otherwise go unnoticed by college recruiters and coaches. "Blue-Chip" camps have been held primarily at colleges and universities in the state of Kentucky which includes Northern Kentucky University, Bellarmine University, Campbellsville University, and Georgetown College.
"Blue-Chip" camps have been featured in USA Today and the Louisville Courier-Journal.
"Blue-Chip" holds 4 separate camp dates for athletes to attend. Those dates include 2 boys camps, a girls mini-camp, a weekend speciality camp for guards and post players, and a Florida boys mini-camp. All camps are held at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY except for the Florida boys mini-camp which will be held at Warner University in Lake Wales, FL. Games are observed by the camp's staff and evaluations are created with input from each player's coach to compose each session's rankings, awards, and camp report that is made freely available on the camp's webpage.
