Donte Medlock took his FreshmanU Camp to another level in year three with first-class coverage and great talent. National media such as On the Radar Hoops, Grassroots Media, SUVTv, Prep Hoops GA, and Pro Movement were in attendance along with over 100 of the top incoming ninth graders from the southeast. In addition, all campers were guided by certified trainers and coaches during drill stations and live scrimmages. Here is a look at five freshmen that could have immediate impacts at the high school level.
