HBCU Showcase, in Las Vegas? You Have No Idea

<p>There is no doubt that when you hear the letters "HBCU", the mind goes to the heart of the South and the thoughts go to the pulse of the East, but let me tell you about the HBCU Showcase that hit the West! Everyone walking through the facility could not resist turning their heads and asking, "What is going on in here?"! This showcase brought out the best and it came with nothing but intensity, fire and loud excitement. Huge PROPS to the Black Volleyball Circuit, its Founder & CEO Quanesha Speed and Co-Founder Corey Thompson for the amazing work they continue to do coast to coast and phenomenal opportunity for exposure they brought to Vegas. You thought you knew, but you have no idea!</p>   <p>I had the pleasure of watching some of the most immense talent that stepped onto the court and the joy of it all was the FACT that college coaches were in the house and connections were made. They watched hitting lines destroy the ball, defensive drills be executed with precision, setters drop dimes and when it came to competition, the noise echoed from the windows to the wall! Check out a few of the ballers below because there's more to come.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Did you know???</h2>   <p>Stellar athletes like 2026 Middle Blockers [player_tooltip player_id='543442' first='J'nyah' last='Odom'], Syah Neal, [player_tooltip player_id='562348' first='Amany' last='Kuwa'] & [player_tooltip player_id='835761' first='Jaleah' last='Wright'] are uncommitted? How about the amazing 2028 MB [player_tooltip player_id='708497' first='Lailah' last='Clayborne'] & the 2029 Standout MB [player_tooltip player_id='771958' first='Madelyn' last='Morrison']? You'd have no idea, but these athletes are bound for greatness because they bring the noise on the court and they're absolutely determined to catch your eye. This clip shows only but a few of the astounding athletes that are fully locked in and they've set out to put the HBCU world on notice.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtube.com/shorts/FdYRU2wvdr8?si=yTiGoMU2NAYQqm5V </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='543442' first='J'nyah' last='Odom'] is by far one of the most determined athletes in the game and this included her determination to make it to the Las Vegas HBCU Showcase! From the moment she stepped in the gym to the moment she left, this high-flying baller brought nothing but joy, excitement, fire, intensity, and this 2026 MB is definitely ready to take her talents to an HBCU, but no matter where she commits, she will be a tremendous asset on any college roster. J'nyah is an absolute steal! – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtube.com/shorts/MkVBK4-LEBA?si=EPZ7irxr44O3D5Is </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='708497' first='Lailah' last='Clayborne'] is a joy to watch because she means serious business on the court! When she is in sync with her setter, coupled with a very dynamic approach there is no stopping Lailah! Her skill and explosive swing draw immediate attention and she brought it all in front of the coaches and scouts at this Las Vegas HBCU Showcase. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMDpmFayJcP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='771958' first='Madelyn' last='Morrison'] is a star on the rise and you need to know who she is now, because when she catches fire, there'll be nothing but smoke rising! Watching this ballers evolution within the past year produces very high anticipation of what's to come for Morrison. Here defensive presence, offensive skill coupled with her humble mindset will undoubtedly result in unlimited opportunities and we're here for it all. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtube.com/shorts/6T4BEF4gU2E?si=FT10LvSpLGq20D2s </div></figure>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">TIME TO DANCE</h2>   <p>This showcase brought everyone together in a hype environment and it was filled with laughter, joy, great food and dance! </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMDzLWZyMom/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== </div></figure>   <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Thank you to all the players that took part in this phenomenal showcase and a special thanks to all the college coaches in attendance.
