At different points during the year, hoop-heads bounce off the same questions back and forth off of each other. "Who's the top player in the state," or "Who's better? Player A or Player B?"

Alabama has become notorious for this discussion. While we all can imagine what will happen in a perfect world based on talent, the state has never had an event that collectively brings the best hoopers together to compete in a structured environment...

Until now.

Together with HoopSeen.com, I am pleased to announce the unveiling of the Elite Preview Alabama.

Now, instead of arguing with different rankings  and differing opinions, players will be able to prove who is the best in the state. That's right. The best of the best.

At The Elite Preview Alabama, there will be no AAU shoe loyalties. There will be no high school classification discrepancies. All of those things will be thrown out the window, as the 80 best players from each corner of the state will converge in Birmingham to prove they are worthy of being tabbed as one of Alabama's best basketball players.

The Preview pairs the best of the best with the best of the best. This is the platform to prove yourself amongst your peers. The Preview is a battle for scholarships and rankings. This is where careers are born and legacies are made. Showcase yourself to the national media and scouts.

Are you up for the challenge of the Elite Preview Alabama?

I hope so, but here's the catch.

Not just anyone will be able to attend this camp. You must earn your invitation. We will be handing out invitations to players who earn their name on the court, not just those players with names. This camp is the best of the best, and you will have to prove yourself.

Our staff will be looking for viable candidates over the high school season. We will have invitations in hand. Do you think you are up for the challenge and competition?

We are. The Elite Preview Alabama is coming.
