Every year I try to compile a list of some of the most high-profile high schools hoops tourneys. These events feature some of the top recruits and coaches in the nation and are great stops to see future Big East and other college standouts.
Here is a preliminary list; click on the name of the event for schedule and details.

There is the Hy-Vee Shootout in Kansas City this coming weekend I believe. Not sure how many East Coast guys will be in it, but I figured it was worth noting. That’s a pretty impressive list you’ve already got assembled.
