@EvanDaniels: Nike's EYBL will have some new stops this year. One being Lexington, Ky. Games will be played at KBA.

So the top Nike players get a free trip to visit UK. Coach Cal wins again.

Ben Roberts says it will be in mid-May next year.

Is that a live period? I'm thinking not.

No. April and July are the live months...

Hard to work those out in the spring with kids still in school, but I'm sure a few will carve out a few hours to stop by...

KBA? Hope they bring in some refs with them.

Same weekend as the State AAU tourney? :lol2:

Saw on twitter that it will be the last weekend in April which is the live period and I'm pretty sure the EYBL will bring in refs at least I hope so. I was told that most of them are college refs and except for a couple of glaring exceptions, what I have seen of them has been pretty good. Now I'm trying to figure out where they are going to put everyone at the KBA. Wonder if they will use LCA too. Surprised this isn't being held at the fairgrounds after the success of the Super Showcase and AAU Nationals.

The EYBL is a very small event when comparing to pretty much everything else. The event really only needs 4-6 courts to run through all 40 teams in regular season play. 8 courts is the most on the EYBL circuit and most of the games on courts 5-8 are from the 16U side. KBA will be the perfect size to host an EYBL stop...

KBA is the perfect size for this event! I guess people in KY will finally get to see the Nike EYBL first hand! Win for Kentucky basketball, Win for Nike, Win for KBA, and HUGE Win for the Travelers!

I wasn't concerned about the number of courts but the seating and room for players to hang out while not playing. The EYBL events that I have attended usually have college coach seating on the end lines which is limited at KBA. There are tables for people to sit and eat. The sponsors have booths set up and there is room for players to warm up and be treated by trainers. I am thrilled that a session will be held locally but it's gonna be tight in there.

From my understanding there will be boys and girls eybl events held there?

I am hearing that the EYBL will be in Lexington, anyone else hearing this? I heard from a few people that it would be at the KBA?
