If you're in Hawaii this week, from the 13th through the 17th, and you see some really "big" guys hanging around the beach, there's nothing to be worried about. It's just the 24th Annual Pete Newell "Big Man" Camp which takes place each year in Honolulu. And this year there will be plenty of talent on hand, both pro and college, and this camp is renowned for being one of the best proving grounds for potential pro players to demonstrate their talents. The Newell Big Man Camp has been legendary, but for mere mortals like us, it's always tough to find out who is going to be there, what's happening at the camp and other assorted details. Well, now everything you wanted to know about the Newell Big Man Camps is available online (click the link above). At the official website, you'll find a camp history, a roster of present and past players, including a complete list of this year's participants, a listing of the camp staff, schedules, and a few words as well about Coach Newell's contributions to the game.
