24th Annual National Prep School Invitational
There was a local power outrage on Friday night that took place late in the first half of Game 7 on Friday night. We had to cancel the games on Saturday as power was not restored but we are back in action with six games scheduled for Sunday. Everything is finally back to normal.
NetScouts Basketball will help coordinate the 24th annual National Prep School Invitational. The event will be held from Thursday through Sunday, February 2 through February 5, 2023, at the Murray Center at Rhode Island College. Once again over 30 of the top prep schools will participate including three NBA Academy teams, three teams from Canada and teams from Italy, the Czech Republic and Sweden. There are 31 games scheduled. Of the 62 game slots 27 are allocated to international teams. Last year, coaches from over 45 colleges and scouts from 15 NBA teams attended along with national and local media.
Since its inception, the NPSI has had over 1000 future Division I college players showcase their talents. Alumni of the National Prep School Invitational include NBA players Andre Drummond, Andrew Wiggins, Steven Adams, Kyle Kuzma, Shabazz Napier, Anthony Bennett, Noah Vonleh, Nik Stauskas, Michael Carter-Williams, Jamal Murray, Thon Maker, Jonathan Issac, Lauri Markkanen and Donovan Mitchell. There are only five events that take place during the high school/prep school season. The NPSI ranks among the finest.
We generally publish a special issue on the NPSI as part of our International Recruiting Service. If you can’t make it to the event it would be worthwhile to subscribe to the service as there will be over 150 Division 1 recruits participating. Information about the event can be directed to Carl Berman at carl@netscoutsbasketball.com or at 541.359.9653.
