And here I was thinking Ballislife, Slam and other YouTube channels would be showing up at Kenner this summer for Mac.

So we may have to exaggerate our expectations based solely on playground pick-up games and YouTube clips? Outrageous!!

Hopefully this doesn't happen. It's such an institution and a real treat for Hoyas fans. I wouldn't think it would be that costly to run.

How much can kenner realistically cost? It can’t be much. Fundraiser for it or something! I’ll pay!

How much can kenner realistically cost? It can’t be much. Fundraiser for it or something! I’ll pay! Stupid question. The full name is the Nike Pro-City Jabbo Kenner Summer League. Isn't is somehow sponsored by Nike? Does Nike pay for costs? Many fans might think Georgetown runs the Kenner League, but it does not. The league is an independent effort, whose organizers must raise money from Nike and team sponsors to cover the cost of officials, jerseys, and other organizational costs, and maintain NCAA certification. As summer leagues go, Kenner is among the longest running of its kind, but cannot continue without organizational support and the NCAA's blessing. www.hoyabasketball.com/history/kenner.htm

You shouldn't be sharing this Glide. It's behind a paywall and he said the decision is still up in the air...

I know many here hope the Kenner league continues. It usually gives us our only glimpse before November of how the Freshmen may contribute and provides a minor break from the monotony that is 8 months without CBB.

Kenner is not only a look at Hoya freshmen, but also seeing how others have progressed. It also is a great look at local players in local universities, post-college players, and pros home and playing. Many of area youth coaches play and it is great for kids to see what their coaches can do. Some of the coaches also work with kids and teens in the area.
The best part of Kenner is getting to know the players and talk with them in the stands. Having an NBA player chat with a kid about their game is priceless and ask if they want to grab lunch is stunning. Having a player on the court say hi as a kids walk in or to go grab a snack makes their year.
For adults Kenner is a place to sit and watch and talk ball with others deeply passionate. Watching players progress and talking about it is an amazing bridge to get one to the first November games.
Kenner is an institution with its own legends and hopes to watch a legend happens when you are watching adds to it.

Yeah! Need something between now and next season where we can all make foolish predictions based on Kenner play.

Soooo, when does Kenner start? I'm thinking we should be pre-season top 25 now!

I know Kenner will start in July, but holy cow, I would really like it to start earlier.
