Excuse my ignorance but what is this camp? What is the quality of it? What is the purpose?

Would Simmons really go play high school ball in US? Doesnt that exclude him from all junior international team selections for Australia?

Also the last big name kid to go came back and hasnt done anything since as far as im aware

High riser from Down Under

The player who created the biggest buzz at the Pangos Camp wasn't Cliff Alexander, the first underclassmen ever to earn camp Most Outstanding Player honors, but 6-foot-8 Ben Simmons, a 2015 prospect from Australia. A smooth lefty with the ability to play both forward positions, Alexander turned heads with his touch around the basket and his knack for being around the ball in the correct spots on the floor.

There is no doubt Simmons, who attends Box Hill in Melbourne, Australia, will be a high major college basketball player. The big question at camp was what American high school he'll eventually end up at. The rumors are rampant, but Simmons told ESPNHS the plan is to play one more year Down Under before heading to the states.

"The camp was good for me," Simmons said. "It was good to see where I'm at compared to the other top players. The game is more up-tempo and more athletic here. In Australia, just one or two of the players can dunk, but here even the point guards can."

As far as colleges, Simmons obviously doesn't have a list right now, but he's most familiar with Duke. He stated there are not many televised college basketball games in Australia, but mentioned the Blue Devils and Texas as the schools he's most familiar with.

I read a favourable report on Simmons also from the same came I think on Rival?
