<p>It's important to recognize the athletes who are going above and beyond to gain exposure on the court. These dedicated players are making the effort to stand out, even when they aren't in the spotlight of a regular game. I encourage all college coaches to take note of these determined athletes, who have shown the initiative and drive to be seen. Their willingness to take on the challenge of attending these pre-tournament workouts speaks volumes about their commitment and potential. I am proud to list the following athletes:</p>
