32 Canadian Invites to NCAA Basketball Academy

Every U.S college coach that starts dialogue about Canada is in awe at the amount of talented prospects that are coming out of the North. Numbers are continuing to rise in the NCAA and in the NBA with the biggest year yet in the Draft. This year’s NCAA Live period will bring in 32 Canadians.

The final evaluation period for the 2019-2020 summer brings about a new platform that has been carried out by the NCAA. The period runs from July 23-28, 2019 and will be in four regions throughout the United States. Each session brings in a collection of talent of the rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. Up to 2,400 student-athletes have been selected between the four regions.

Each regional event will have two sessions with separate rosters for each, to give NCAA coaches a chance to evaluate a plethora of talent as they participate in drills, games and life-skills sessions.

Prospects are decided on through a voting system where every D1 coach/staff places 5 votes for players that will automatically be invited to camp. Since it often occurs where multiple schools from the region may be recruiting the same prospects, any duplicate votes turn into nominations that are selected by an advisory committee.

Below are the names of the Canadians attending the regional camps along with links to their player profile. College Coaches looking to clamp down in Canada and get full access with in-depth player profiles, National rankings and more feel free to reach out at esbiet@northpolehoops.com.
