T3TV COMBINE DOES NOT DISSAPOINT AS 600 KIDS SHOW OUT AT COURTS 4 SPORTS
By Deon Cash
The 2nd Annual T3TV Combine held at Courts 4 Sports in Mason, Ohio last weekend. After the results, the Showcase is turning out to be a major event on the AAU youth radar.
Last year, it was host to about 350-400 kids.
But the previous location wasn't big enough, so Holt and the T3 squad took it to the next level.
While that was a historic moment for T3TV, it was nothing like the event this weekend, as over 600 kids pulled up and put on a show for the top youth officials, media companies, and just fans of the youth hoop game in the Cincinnati area.
On Friday it was registration, media night, with a little 1 vs 1 action as everyone would sign up, register, and get a feel for the energy that was going to be in the building.
The vibe on Friday was real, and there was a sense of the best of the best that were in attendance, such as Magic Mel, Tim Winkler Jr, Askia "Ski" Holloway and, of course, the #1 ranked youth 3rd grader in the country, Terry Holt III among others.
On Saturday the games were in full effect and the intensity was turned up a few notches. If you have been to a T3 event, then you know how intense the games and event truly is.
On All-Star Sunday, there would be a variety of events to be ranked in or to have a chance to win.
With the likes of Spencer Pulliam, the youth scouting guru, and the elite amount of media in the bulding, the atmosphere was electric.
"This was a great turnout for the 2nd Combine, and Holt has something good going on here in Ohio." Pulliam would say in a exclusive interview with SELive365 at the end of the camp.
But let's be honest: every kid at the event wants to be in the all-star games. And every parent feels that their kid is legitimate in making the teams.
But the all-star games were special, despite the length of the process, which is already being "Tweaked" for the next combine to make it smoother and easier to navigate.
When it was all said and done?
The event created one of the most high profile exposure camps ever in the Southwest Ohio region, and ultimately, T3TV established themselves as a major player in the AAU basketball world.
"We just blessed to make it through another one." Holt said, after grinding out a emotionally taxing weekend.
"Special thanks to the team, the parents, the media, and lastly but most importantly, the kids who came out and perfromed under intense conditions." Holt stated.
