SUMMER HOOPS PREVIEW

IS THIS THE END?? Those are the famous words from the group New Edition famous song back in 1983. For those of you that aren’t familiar with the travel basketball world, the NCAA plans to end the July live period.Instead, athletes will go to individual and elite camps in July now. NCAA, THIS IS THE WRONG THING TO DO. This is not your burden either.I will explain. If the NBA allows players to go pro out of high school, this will eliminate players getting paid and college coaches getting arrested. This new answer to the problem will create more issues. Less kids will get rercuited, a lot of tournament directors wouldn’t be making a living, and the crime rate in inner cities may increase. I’m getting heated talking about this, let me move on. Here is an extensive preview of perhaps the last July live period.
