TEANECK, N.J. - Who says there’s anything wrong with college basketball?

While many bemoan the abundance of high schoolers who are thinking about the NBA and not about going to college, the fact remains that the large majority of high school standouts will in fact continue to polish their skills on a college campus.

For those who doubt that there are a bevy of up-and-comers set to arrive at a campus near you, one simply needed to stop by the campus of Farleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, N.J. to see the 200-odd basketball players invited to the ABCD All-Star Camp. With all due respect to the Nike All-America camp in Indianapolis and the Adidas Future Stars’ Camp in Atlanta, the largest contingent of standouts were putting their skills on display at this East Coast school.

Well-known names such as Greg Oden, Tasmin Mitchell, Derrick Caracter and Bobby Frasor were among the standouts in attendance, while IU Coach Mike Davis was in attendance each day of the four-day event.

So who lived up to their pre-camp billing, and who surfaced as a future college standout? Inside Indiana ranks the best from ABCD.
