Top basketball guest speakers will be present
Basketball players who excel in the classroom have a greater chance of qualifying for the top
academic schools in the country. Through basketball, they can get into a school that otherwise
would be impossible when they are compared solely on academics.  But these schools need
help in identifying those players.  These schools don’t have the time or budget to travel all
over the country recruiting players that may not qualify. They have to be 100 percent sure a
student-athlete will qualify and our camp will help them identify those prospective student-
athletes.  Our camp is designed to assist in connecting the student-athlete with the top
academic schools.
