ATLANTA, GA – While some fall leagues have been cooking for several weeks, others were just getting underway this past weekend, so we headed down to Northside Drive for another year of North Atlanta High School’s superb league at their outstanding 3-court facility. Another really good field is assembled there, and with my head on a swivel I caught a bunch of Week 1 action.

ATLANTA, GA – With the travel season behind us with OTR having put on a monster spring and summer buffet across the region, attracting teams and players from as far as the West Coast, the Dakotas, Texas and the Midwest to name just a few, and along the way performing our core task of helping to set the table for hundreds of prospects to perhaps see their college basketball dreams come true. Back to life on the local Georgia hardwoods with Fall Leagues soon to heat up, we take some time to......

ATLANTA, GA – A bunch of good players emerged over the last 5+ months since the state champions were crowned, each primed to make their own statement but perhaps playing 2nd or 3rd fiddle on their roster to bigger names or merely swimming in a complex modern pond where recognition and exposure are harder than ever to receive. Let’s highlight some that have crossed my path and can really play. By: Keith Agran Cole Gary | 6-2 | SG | Habersham Central | 2023 Made such an impression with his all-around play......

NORCROSS, Georgia, – The depth of basketball talent in the state of Georgia seemingly gets deeper each year. Here is a rundown of more standouts from this year’s junior and senior classes from the OTR Super 64 Camp. By: Jonathan Hemingway Class of 2024 combo guard Josh Kavel of the Wesleyan School is an aggressive guard who makes plays for others.

MARIETTA, GA – Top independent travel organization Wood Elite teamed August 28 at Kell HS with Spencer Dixon and FUH3 Athletix to put on the “Sewer” Showcase, Wood’s and Dixon’s catchy name for the type of work they put in and the type of style they play. Many of the Wood standouts from this past spring and summer were on hand, as were others looking to get noticed.

NORCROSS, Georgia, – One argument that never ceases to be answered is: which part of the country has the best high school basketball? There is always a strong case for Atlanta, because of the pros that have grown up in the Peach State. The better case for arguing for our area is the sheer depth of talent that exists year in and out. While Atlanta may not produce the top player in the country annually, the number of high major prospects and Division-I basketball players that grow their roots in this area......

NORCROSS, GA – Back to the home of the defending 7A champions we went, and after an incredible turnout at Breakout two weeks earlier, OTR welcomed in juniors and seniors (and some 2025’s) for their chance to play before coaches and the best evaluators in the state.

This has been true of OTR camps since its very first fall showcase that featured Wendell Carter as a rising freshman. He then went on to be the eighth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. More recently, the Super 64 Camp featured Jonathan Kuminga who was drafted 7th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. Are there prospects from this camp who could reach......
