<p>The 39th Annual Las Vegas Classic is happening this weekend at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and my scouting notes are ready for action. Big shoutout to <a href="https://prepdig.com/author/chrisfitzgerald/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Fitzgerald</a>, Scout for Wisconsin, who first tipped me off about this method—he was right, I'm hooked. My running list is always packed during events like these, filled with numbers, teams, court assignments, and everything I notice throughout the day.</p>

<p>So, how do teams and players end up in my notes? It starts with players tagging their court assignments to <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigca/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>PrepDigCA</strong></a></strong>, which gives me my starting point. But once I'm in the gym, you might land in my notes for one incredible play—or for what you're doing when you don't have the ball. Sometimes, hitting lines might be your only chance to impress if you're not in the starting lineup. I also love watching a player's character shine through when they're reffing or sharing a meal with their team. This behind-the-scenes coverage offers great insight for college coaches.</p>

<p>Now, let's take a look at some of the <strong>16U</strong> teams I'm already tracking as we head into Day 1 of the Las Vegas Classic. I can't wait to see which players make the list after the first day of competition!</p>
