The 2017 recruiting cycle is about to get underway.
The three main sneaker circuits will all kick off this weekend.
Nike EYBL will be in Hampton, VA. Adidas Uprising in Dallas, TX. And the Under Armour Association in New York City.
The evaluation period(s) for college coaches at certified events are as follows:
April 21-23
April 28-30
July 12-16
July 19-23
July 26-30
While July serves as perhaps the most important time in recruiting as it leads towards the fall and official visits/commitments start to take shape - the April evaluation period will be critical for the new Georgetown staff. Head Coach Patrick Ewing will begin to evaluate and create a list of targets.
