The Knights continue to keep their faces familair to the over 450 college coaches they have played in front of over the past four weeks as they now head to Greensboro, North Carolina for what will be their fourth consecutive Big Shots Recruiting Showcase thus keeping them in the nations top showcase events during both the early July and late July "live" periods for college coaches to evaluate talent. No other team in Hampton Roads and few others nationally have been as active during these crucial exposure periods giving Knights players exposure opportunities unmatched anywhere in Virginia.
The results have been extremely positive as four Knights players have received significant interest even likely offers as a result of their performance during these valuable exposure periods.
The Knights' partnership with "Reclaiming the Game" and their resources of training and recognizeable coaching figures has been extremely beneficial in both the networking and developmental arenas for Knights players allowing them to maximize their exposure during recruiting period.
