Dear Brian,

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you that the showcases have been a success for our son, Tyler Kelley (Thornton Academy, Saco, Maine). I'm sure you don't always get the feedback from the players, like you may from the college coaches. I have to admit that at first I was a little skeptical, with so many boys playing.

Tyler has received either letters or phone calls from six different colleges as a result of your 2006 Showcases. Although some of them don't have his intended major, he at least feels more confident in his performance, and that there is a lot of interest in him personally. We are now even more excited for his chances in playing at the college level.

Thanks a lot, and I am so glad I heard about the NE Basketball Showcases.
