Nice article focusing on the summer progress of Dre Jackson & Matt Wilson:

 

Campbell County guard Deondre Jackson's and center Matt Wilson's emergence as two of the top players in Northern Kentucky basketball this winter helped lead the Camels to their first Kentucky High School Athletic Association Sweet 16 state tournament appearance at Rupp Arena since 2001. It also put them on the recruiting radar of local college coaches as each scored 16 points, plus Wilson hauled in 21 rebounds, in their two-point loss to Johnson Central while playing on the state's largest stage.

 

Over the weekend, Jackson and Wilson finished up their summer AAU seasons by participating in the AAU Nationals hosted at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville. It was also the final NCAA live evaluation period where college basketball programs were allowed to be out on the road watching the kids they are recruiting. Wilson, a junior-to-be, played on his TBC Elite 16U team, while Jackson, a senior next year, played for the Northern Kentucky Bulldogs' 17U squad with college coaches from every level watching.

 

 

Campbell's Deondre Jackson, Matt Wilson a formidable duo

The Jackson/Wilson tandem will be a tough one for 10th Region foes to contain. I'm looking forward to watching the Camels this season.

Is Wilson really 6'8"??? Wow, if that's true, that presents a whole different level of possibilities. I really like the way he plays - hard and physcal. Uses his body in a way so many bigs don't/won't these days!

A force in the 10th this year. Many choose the Camels as the presumptive #1 team in the region. Perhaps the only team talented enough to beat the resurgent St. Patrick Saints.

I'd say yes. Love his game and he is a great kid.

The question remains-- "Will they be able to score against those unnamed lock down defenders we have been hearing about?"

Those guys can play. The worry with Campbell is depth I think. Wilson is not playing football is he?

Me too.

I saw Wilson in Louisville last week. Cat is BIG!

Will the Camels have the best 1-2 combo in NKY? Better than Pangallo/McDonald?

Close call.

I think Campbell has the better 1-2 combo, but NCC the better 1-2-3-4 combo.

Man, Zach gets no love.

To be fair, I've only saw NCC once last year.
