For recruitniks, the conclusion of the college basketball season means one thing: the onset of the recruiting season. For the next four months, events will tip off around the nation showcasing America's elite prep talent.

It all starts this weekend, as the venerable Boo Williams Invitational kicks off in Hampton, Va. A Nike-backed event, the Boo Williams always boasts a very high level of talent, and every year there are numerous surprise performers who establish momentum carrying into and throughout the summer.

Hordes of the highest-touted rising seniors and rising juniors will be in attendance, and we'll be there for all three days of action. Be sure to check back all weekend long for comprehensive, first-hand reports.
