Susq TWP's Jonas Page signs with Florida International.....

Glad to see that another young guy from the Harrisburg area is living their dream....  6'6 shooting guard Jonas Page from Susquehanna TWP HS has agreed to take his talents to Division 1 Florida International in the Fall.....   This is a big deal for him and his family because he has always had the talent but Central PA really lacks the proper exposure for kids to get looked at by bigger schools....   Page is Coach Vince Rogers 1st Division 1 signee and with the talent in that school district, we may see more in the future....

Mansfield Prospect Camp review

This past Saturday I was able to travel to Mansfield, PA to watch some of the local talent from Central PA compete at Mansfield University....  This one day camp was put together by Coach Will Cabrera and he did a fabulous job....  The kids ran through lots of College pace drills so they can get an idea of how a competitive College practice looked at one of the top schools in a very competitive PSAC division....

Why is Philly Basketball so far ahead of the rest of the State of PA????

Often times when people think of Basketball in PA, they instantly think of PHILLY....  For a matter of fact, There's people out there that still think Philly is the Capitol of PA (By the way it's Harrisburg).....  One thing I can say is this, Philly has it going on when it comes to youth basketball....  These guys out there understand what it takes to get their kids proper exposure, and they also understand how to build the rep of their city TOGETHER......

No one in the area does it better than EXSP CEO and Trainer Mr. Dave Brixius and his staff....   He's worked with all types of athletes to help them "Unleash Their Potential"....  

Thinking about "RE CLASSIFYING"? DO YOUR HOMEWORK 1st.....

Reclassification of a student-athlete can be a touchy subject, and it is done much more often than it should be. Most who give advice about reclassifying do so without any knowledge of NCAA rules or eligibility guidelines. Here is the main thing about reclassifying. It does NOT give you an extra year to finish high school.......

Local Players show their stuff at The College Exposure Showcase at Milton Hershey

All I can say is finally....  The Central PA area has been long overdue with having an event showcasing all of the top players in the District 3 area...  This was an event put together by Owner of Advanced Hoops Charlie Fortney as he was able to organize over 60 athletes and 25 College Coaches to meet all in one spot....   Make no mistake, Charlie may have organized the event, but it took the help of Coaches like Charles "Coach Ab" Vaughn, Tigh Savorcool, Mike Pilsitz, Joe Proctor, Roger Smith and a few others to make this a huge success.....

Central Penn Ballers 17U is tearing things up (On the down low)

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLLEGE!!!!!!!!

OK, I think this is a topic that has been long overdue....  I think it's time that these kids get some insight on picking a school for them and staying there to get their degree....

Far too many times, kids have too many people in their ear...  I call these people "Street handlers"...  They say that their helping kids choose the right school for the kids best interest but in reality it's in the Handlers best interest....

Harrisburg vs Philly (You had to be there!!!!)

Coaches Caruso and Kater giving instruction

Back in February on a Sunday morning while most kids were going on their third dream, 8 middle schoolers from Harrisburg are were on the highway headed to The City of Brotherly Love to get some morning wreck against two of the top middle school teams in Philly at the MLK Classics at Imhotep Charter HS....  One thing I can tell you for sure, NO ONE LEFT DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!
