2000 Fullcourt Press Fall Showcase
Participants Announced--(Sept. 19, 2000)

What:   2000 Fullcourt Press Fall Showcase
When:   Monday, September 25, 2000
   (NCAA Certified event--Invitation Only)
4:00 p.m. Top 24 Sophomore Game
5:30 p.m. Top 24 Junior Game
7:00 p.m. Top 48 Senior Game
8:30 p.m. Top 24 Senior Game 
Where:   Long Beach Millikan School

This will be a great way to cap the SoCal portion of the NCAA fall "open evaluation/contact" period (there's still one more tournament in two weekends, the Arizona Preps Fall Hoops Tournament).    Starting this Friday, will be the adidas Double Pump "Fall Premier Tournament" which will run from Friday through Sunday, and then on Monday many of the college coaches in town will stick around to see the 2000 Fullcourt Press Fall Hoops Showcase which features at least a dozen legitimate top 100 players, and at least one future NBA first rounder next year at least if what we're hearing is even halfway accurate about what Tyson Chandler is going to do. . . .but also don't be surprised if he shocks a lot of people (see related article).  

We received a partial list of invitees for this year's 2000 Fullcourt Press Fall Showcase which Dinos released today, and as you see, the event is loaded with talent.  As noted above, there will be two "Top Senior" games, a "Top 48" game at 7:00 p.m., followed by a "Top 24" Senior game at 8:30 p.m.   The day will start with the top soph game at 4:00 p.m. (sorry, no frosh game), followed by the Top 24 Junior game at 5:30 p.m.   The players who have been invited and who are expected to participate include:
