Players announced for John Calipari Prasco Pro Camps

Players announced for John Calipari Prasco Pro Camps

The men's basketball program has announced the line-up of former Wildcats for the 2012 Prasco Pro Camps, where seven former Wildcats will join campers for four days in early August.

With limited spots available, the scheduled players are as follows:

 

August 1-2

 

August 3-4

 

Pro Camp I and Pro Camp II will not feature the same players and all eventual pro players will not be at both camps.

 

This summer's Prasco Pro Camps will consist of two separate camps (Pro Camp I & Pro Camp II), with both camps offering two separate sessions each day, which are divided into different age groups. The cost for each camp is $199 per camper and includes a camp T-shirt, two days of instruction, competitions, autograph session, and camp team photo with featured Wildcat Pros from the 2012 National Championship team.

 

In an effort to accommodate camper's participation with all 2012 Wildcat pro players, there will be a discount for signing up for both camps at the price of $350. Both camps will be held at the Joe Craft Center and Memorial Coliseum.

 

The discounted price is only available by selecting and registering for both desired camps during the same registration session online.  You will be given the option to select the number of camps you would like to attend and the discount will be displayed at the end of your registration of both camps. Those who do not register for both camps during the same registration session online are not eligible to receive the discounted price of $350. Those who wish to purchase admission to an additional Prasco Pro Camp following purchase of only one camp will have to pay the full $199 per camp.

 

Both John Calipari Prasco Pro Camps are open to both boys and girls of the appropriate age/grade level, which varies between sessions. Camper's grade level is based on the grade in which the camper is enrolled during the 2011-12 school year.  All pre-registered campers will receive a confirmation email for their specific camp/session that includes details of necessary paper work needed (Physical, Insurance, and Consent).  It is important, to insure the safety and participation of all campers, that the basketball office receives all necessary paper work two weeks prior to the start of the specific camp date.

 

Due to the limited number of spots available for each Prasco Pro Camp, walk-up registration will not be available, unless noted on the UK Athletics website prior to the start of camp.  Once each Prasco Pro Camp has reached its maximum capacity, then that particular camp will be closed to all forms of registration (Online and Walk ups).  Any camp related questions can be called into the Men's Basketball Camp line at 859.257.9457 or the Men's basketball office at 859.257.1916.

 

Online registration is available at www.ukathletics.com/camps.

On This Day In UK Basketball History

On March 28, 1992, in what many called the “best NCAA Tournament game ever,” Kentucky takes defending NCAA champion Duke into overtime before losing 104-103 in the East Regional finals in Philadelphia. A last-second shot by Christian Laettner sends Duke to the Final Four, and breaks the hearts of Wildcat fans everywhere. It is Cawood Ledford’s last game as the “Voice of the Wildcats.”

 

On March 28, 1998, against Stanford, Kentucky rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit, then grabbed a 5-point overtime lead, before fending off the Cardinals to advance to the title game for the third straight season. Jeff Sheppard canned three long-range three-pointers - two in the final three minutes and one in overtime - en route to a career-high 27 points.

 

On March 28, 2014, unranked Kentucky beat No. 5 Louisville 74-69, in the 2014 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.  Aaron Harrison buried a three-pointer from the left corner with 39 seconds left that put UK ahead to stay before 41,072 in Lucas Oil Stadium.

 

On March 28, 2015, No. 1 Kentucky defeated No. 8 Notre Dame, 68-66, in the 2015 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight.  With its 37-0 record on the line, Kentucky trailed Notre Dame 59-53 with 6:14 left. UK rallied in front of 19,464 fans in Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena and preserved its perfect season thanks to a crucial blocked shot by Willie Cauley-Stein and two game-deciding free throws from Andrew Harrison in the final seconds.
