If you missed the Senior Showcase All-Star Weekend 2010, make sure you put it on the calendar for next year. If you are looking to attend college on a basketball scholarship this weekend could change your life.
"Players, coaches, and fans will be treated to a weekend full of activities and excitement.", says Jack Love, Founder and Executive Director of the Senior Showcase All-Star Weekend. "This first-class event has come from humble beginnings to be one of the premier high school All-Star games in the country."
The weekend has evolved since Carlos and I rocked the gym in 2007, they now have a Florida vs. USA Hardwood Classic where the game features the top 12 players from Florida versus 12 of the top players from around the nation. And they also added Hoops for H.O.P.E. A project that pairs 24 under privileged youth with the 24 Team Florida vs. Team USA Hardwood Classic All-Star players, working together on a community service project in the Orlando area and a mentor-ship for the youth to remain in contact beyond the bounds of the event, supporting each others future while pledging to remain drug and alcohol free. Of course they kept the Red & Blue Unsigned All-Star Games in which many of the top unsigned players from around the state participate in. All the activities are designed to provide exposure to college coaches and scouts that could earn student athletes athletic and/or academic college scholarships.
In 2007 the rosters were slammed with talent including Nick Calathes and Chandler Parsons. Other notables in past years include Mareese Speights, Aaron Holmes, Jared Swopshire, Allan Chaney, Glen Rice Jr. and more. Check it out:
