The Alamo City Sportsplex in University City, Texas, recently witnessed a basketball spectacle like no other—the Men’s College Basketball Prospects Camp. They had two sessions. A AM session and a PM session. We covered the PM session. With over 60 young talents converging under one roof, this event was a melting pot of raw athleticism, determination, and dreams. Five college coaches, representing D2 and NAIA schools, were on the prowl, seeking the next generation of hoop stars to bolster their ranks. As the sun dipped low, the hardwood floor echoed with the rhythmic bounce of basketballs, and the air crackled with anticipation.
