I wanted to take a moment to thank "Blue Chip"
All-Stars and You, Jim Underwood, for all that you have done for my
daughter Mary Jehlik. "Blue Chip" was the answer for Mary's
Collegiate Basketball Hopes! Your words of encouragement, your Knowledge
of the Game, and your Personal/Mentoring Touch are Leagues above what most
people put forth! It is one thing to put on a good Basketball Program but
what takes your Program to Greater heights are the People Behind
"Blue Chip" All-Stars! "Blue Chip" is definitely on
the Top of our list, "Blue Chip" All-Stars helped Mary get to
the Top of her Game! Jim your kindness and support as well as that of all
of your Coaches will not be forgotten! After being with "Blue
Chip" Mary had many options for College, she chose Murray State
University a Division 1 Basketball School as well as one of the Top
Academic Universities in America!
Marty & Beth Ernst, Parents
Jim we are very grateful and pleased by all that You and Your Coaches
at "Blue Chip" All-Stars have done for our daughter
Molly. We wish to acknowledge the positive impact your Camps and
the Travel Teams at Blue Chip All-Stars had on Molly! From the
perspective of "on court" development, by attending the "Blue
Chip" All-Stars Camps each of the summers proceeding her
Sophomore, Junior and Senior years, she did develop New Skills and Embrace
the importance of rounding out her game. The competition was certainly
Challenging and the Exposure to Many Colleges and other Coaches
were invaluable. Because of the Exposure at "Blue Chip"
Molly had so many offers from too many Colleges to count, thanks to you
and the "Blue Chip" All-Stars she signed to play her
College Career with Belmont University!

I just wanted to let you know how much I loved participating with all
the "Blue Chip" events! The Tournaments and Camps were so much
fun and I enjoyed all of them so much while improving my game against
great talented players! Without the Opportunity i would have had the
Exposure I received to get the many College Offers that came from the
Camps and Travel Teams! I had many offers from great colleges, I decided
to sign with the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga to continue my
basketball and education! Mr. Underwood I love you and "Blue
Chip" and everything it's about!

Without the Exposure and Fundamentals I received at "Blue

Prestigious University of Kansas. Thanks to Jim Underwood and the Staff
there I was recruited by multiple Universities across the Nation. I
graduated and am now working in Washington. I will always be
grateful for the Underwood family and the staff at "Blue Chip",

Chip" is a must for you to attend!
Robert Queen,
Parent
My daughter grew in Confidence and Maturity and Improved as a
basketball player as a result of her experience with Jim Underwood, His
Family and The Blue Chip Camps this past summer. The camps were
Disciplined and Structured, well Organized and Supervised. The
coaching was Insightful, Instructive and Encouraging. The talent
level of the campers and the game experience were such that Emily was
pushed to the limits of own skills and came away a better player.
Stacy
Pendleton, Head Coach DuPont Manual High School
After attending the Blue chip High Exposure
Camp, our student athletes received many letters and offers
from different colleges at all levels! Five of our kids
attended the Blue Chip High Exposure Camp. It benefited them greatly by
attending the Camp; All of them had a great time and came back with increased
confidence and improvement in their abilities! Three of our players
have already committed to play Division 1 Basketball next year. I would recommend any
student athlete interested in playing at the next level and to improve
their game they should attend the
Underwood's Blue Chip All-Stars High Exposure
Camps.

Blue Chip Camp in 2002 and 2003; Camp MVP Each Year; Christian County High
School.
The Blue Chip Camp provided the Exposure for me to be chosen 2002 Freshman
Player of the Year. The Coaches are great and the camp affords every
player more exposure to prospective college coaches than you can get
anywhere. The Underwoods’ have been a great help to me with the
recruitment process in helping me to make the right choice for me. If you
want to play at the next level and test your skills against the best, then
Blue Chip High Exposure Camp is for you!
Chelsia Lymon, # 2 Rated Player in Kentucky; Top 15 Nationally;
Rated Best Point Guard in Kentucky, Blue Chip Top 20, and Top Playmaker.
I had an awesome experience at the Blue Chip High Exposure Camp playing
against the Top Players not only in Kentucky but also in the Nation. I was
able to work on and improve my skills in a relaxed but competitive setting
with great coaches. That has helped me with my game! Blue Chip is the
Best! I have had many colleges inquires since going to Blue Chip!
Lydia Watkins, Rated in the top 10 Juniors in Kentucky; Selected to
the Junior “Elite” All-Stars.
In 2003 I attended the Blue Chip Camp. The camp had players from many
states and foreign countries as well. I really enjoyed the camp and
learned a lot but was disappointed that I did not make the top 40. I was
given advice on how to improve my game in order to be Marketable to
College Coaches. Thanks to Blue Chip I made changes to my game, in August
of 2004, I committed to the University of Kentucky. The Underwoods’ and
Blue Chip provide service long after the camp was over!

HIGH SCHOOL COACH
Cindy Stuart, Coach at Pikeville High School;

“BLUE CHIP” and participated in other “Blue Chip” activities. The players
have really benefited from the exposure to College Coaches on all levels.
In addition the level of competition at “Blue Chip” ha;s helped all of the
players take their games to the “next level”. My players “Blue Chip”
experiences have positively impacted our team and overall basketball
program.”
Chris Souder, Mercer County High School,
It has been my pleasure to have worked the Underwoods’ Summer Programs.
His Summer Camps are without a doubt some of the best in the Country! They
do an outstanding job of promoting not only Kentucky Players but the
Players from throughout the Nation, giving them a wonderful opportunity to
further their basketball careers! I highly recommend their camps to any
girl wishing and willing to work and improve their basketball skills. You
can guarantee if you attend one of his camps exposusre will be at at a
Maximum!
Don Dillard, Christian County High School,
“Blue Chip” Basketball Camp, has produced 3 D-l college players (Kiki
Radford, Derrica Jones and Shaleea Petty), plus one oral commitment to the
University of Kentucky (Lydia Watkins), and one player that has college
offers to any University in the Country (Arnika Brown). Another player
received a scholarship and is playing for the Junior College National
Champions (Corky Stiger). “Blue Chip” definitely provides the National
Exposure for those players wishing to play College Basketball! I highly
recommend “Blue Chip” Basketball Camps!
Scott Cromwell, Henry Clay High School,

PARENTS
Gary and Leslie Jerls, Grandparents
"We attend all of our granddaughters games but none has been as exciting
as "BLUE CHIP HIGH EXPOSURE" in Louisville. We have been very impressed
with the organization and special attention that all the players received
from the Underwood's and their staff."
Carla Purvis, Oldham County, Kentucky
"Blue Chip Camp was the "icing on the cake" in camp experience for our
daughter. Most colleges that Lydia had interest in were present, and she
was able to sign early with one of them, Kentucky Wesleyan! Excellent
staff was on hand, the schedule was well planned for the week, and there
were young ladies from near and far, including one international student!
I highly recommend Blue Chip for your daughter. It's truly the "ultimate"
and for small cost!"
Diane Henderson, Boone County, Kentucky
"I was very impressed with the organization of the camp, the talent level
of the players and the quality of the coaching staff. There were many
College Coaches from everywhere there evaluating the girls as well as
several recruiting services. Since the camp my daughter has received over
30 inquires from various colleges. It was truly the best camp experience
my daughter had and we highly recommend it for anyone's daughter wishing
to play college ball!"
