Southern Colorado Prospect Gears Up for Summer

All he needed was one more win and Kameron Whilhite would be traveling 141 miles north of Pueblo to play in the Final Four in Boulder. It proved to be too daunting of a task as Pueblo South (23-3) fell to Broomfield in the Elite Eight.

“It crushed me because it felt like our year,” said Whilhite. “(It felt like) we could show Colorado what we can do.”

Whilhite has had no problem showing Colorado his own talents. He was recently named All-State and All-Conference for the second year in a row. Despite his personal accomplishments, his focus next year is still on his team.

“I want to make it to the Final Four and not let the game get away from us,” he said.

This summer, he will play with the Colorado Chaos 17’s Blue which is considered one of the top two AAU teams in the state. So far, Whilhite says that he is receiving serious interest from Portland, Davidson, Bucknell and Oklahoma. While he has yet to receive his first formal offer, what does he think about the possibility of a Big XII offer?

“I’ve been working for that since I was a little kid,” he said. “It would mean the world to me.”

For those interested in watching Whilhite and the Chaos 17’s Blue, they’ll be at the Hoyt Brawner April 29 through May 4.
