Ed Butler of the EKB Scouting Service in New Jersey will be running his EKB High School/JUCO Roundball Showcase on Sunday, Apr. 18, in Elizabeth, N.J.

JUCO Junction recently caught up with Butler, and he provided us with the specifics for this worthwhile event.

The event will be broken up into two major parts. The first part will be for high school players looking to latch on at junior colleges or four-year schools. That will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The second part of the event will be dedicated to junior college sophomores looking to hook up with four-year programs. That will take place from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Admission to the event is free. Packets containing the information on rosters and players will cost $10 to EKB Scouting Service subscribers, and $100 to non-subscribers.

The Showcase will be held at the Dunn Center, which is next to Elizabeth H.S. Here are directions to the Dunn Center, as provided by the high school's website.
