College coaches from every NCAA Division I major
conference, along with a long list of NCAA Division II, III, NAIA and junior
college coaches have attended the Showcase. Each year 150-200 Coaches from
as far as Vermont to Florida to California come to Kearney to
scout our super-talented field.
The Player Info Guides that we provide the college coaches are
the most detailed & accurate booklet anywhere! Every player is required to
complete a
player profile sheet and then we re-type the info into our booklets.

Ketia Swanier was the 12th player taken in the 2008 WNBA Draft by the
Connecticut Sun. The UConn point guard was a 2002 Miss Basketball All-American.
She teamed with LSU forward Ashley Thomas, to lead the Georgia Magic Black to
the quarterfinals of the 2002 Showcase. Both players were key players as UConn &
LSU both reached the NCAA Final 4 in 2008. She averaged 7.3 points per game as a
senior.
With participants from all over the country, it is difficult to
keep tabs on every kid from every year, therefore, the following list is not
complete.
If you know an athlete that participated in the Showcase that is not listed
below, please let us know. We only list those who have signed or play at NCAA
Division I programs due to the difficulty in tracking the signings with smaller
schools, and the very large number of kids from the Showcase who are playing at
DII, DIII, NAIA and junior colleges. Here are alumni we are aware of who have gone on to compete
for NCAA Division I programs across the country. |
