AUGUSTA, Ga.– With picturesque Augusta as a backdrop, the 8th annual Blue Star Nationals-Invite Only tournament helped wrap up July recruiting and, as always, did not disappoint. Along with being the only tournament in the area that consistently started games at their scheduled times, the talent inside the Marriott Convention Center was abounding. With four courts located under the same roof, and a fifth for younger teams just minutes up the road, the Blue Star Nationals featured programs from 27 states, as well as one from Canada. College coaches from nearly every Division I conference were in attendance for the three-day event.

Being one of the last tournaments of July, every team in attendance already had a long resume’ of games and travel miles under their belts, making the notable performances from individual players all the more impressive. With all the action happening under one roof, we got an opportunity to get a good look plenty of promising talent. Here are the players that really stuck out.

Kira Emsbo- 2018- 6’3-  Post- CO Rockies- Very long…Alters/blocks shots well, especially as the secondary defender…Good screener who picks well then rolls hard
