This event is difficult to describe and you cannot do it justice by merely viewing the talent on display. The week is packed with activities and viewed by a who’s who of basketball dignitaries. Please visit the outstanding event website as well as all the coverage by the recruiting gurus and event reporters, an excellent well run event.
