June 21-23 NCAA Georgia Team Camp
We have two a days M-Th. The first session is a small group session where we focus in individual skill reps and intensity for every kid our program we bring in grades 6-12 and they do station work in 15 mins increments. The 2nd session is a team practice where we indoctrinate our rising 9th graders and new players to our system. We refresh for our returners and we also test tweaks and adjustments that we want to maybe use next season.

2022 5’10 G Jaquez Thornton
Returns to Drew from a year at Sprayberry High. Jaquez is very good in the open floor. He has a natural instinctive game on offense but he excels on the defensive end of the floor where he uses his length very well. His motor is game changing and he has the ability to be all over the place to make play.
