What they’re saying

“Cameron's improved in every way. His game has developed now to how you talk about three-level scorers. He's really like a four-level scorer. He can get all the way to the rim, a very good mid-range game, hits the heck out of it from three and he creates a lot of offense from his defense.”

— Mike Reingruber, Head Coach, Riverside Brookfield High School (rblandmark.com)

“I didn't know about [the record] until they announced it. I don't really have any feelings toward it, but it's as cool as far as RB history.”
