A total of 12 current Colorado high school basketball players will participate in the first-ever NCAA College Basketball Academy, which is set for next week.
The developmental boys basketball academy was created by the NCAA as a result of recommendations from the Commission on College Basketball. It is “designed to give prospective student-athletes a sample of the college basketball experience,” according to the NCAA.
Colorado players will head to the West regional of the Academy, held at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix. There are two sessions, July 22-25 and July 25-28.
The CHSAA office was not involved in the selection of players for this event.
