The Michigan Boys Basketball Report (MBBR) will be conducting its third Skills Showcase on October 13. This event is for student-athletes in grades 8 – 12. Last year, MBBR’s showcase attracted over 120 players from all parts of Michigan – including Ann Arbor, Benton Harbor, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Port Huron, and Petoskey – and Canada.
MBBR has developed a website to provide information for college coaches and a venue for players to compile a student-athlete profile. The “mission” of MBBR is to assist college coaches in their efforts to learn of prospects who would best fit their programs, as well as help educate student-athletes in their understanding of the recruitment process.
The MBBR staff consists of Bob Sherlock, who spent twelve years as a Division III head coach and whose teams went to five post season tournaments and featured two All-Americans; Dan Nealy, who has organized AAU tournaments for both boys’ and girls’ teams for the past four years at Morey Courts and who has nine years of high school coaching experience; Marc Sroufe, who has over twenty years’ experience coaching players at the AAU level and organizing numerous AAU events. MBBR intends to draw upon its experience to provide coaches and players with the most organized and detailed services to help the recruiting process. The MBBR staff stresses the importance of doing things the right way and building positive relationships with coaches and student-athletes.
This event will be limited to the first 140 participants who register.
Players and parents can view details on this event and register at www.michiganboysbasketball.com.
The showcase cost is $75 and will be held at Morey Courts in Mt. Pleasant.
