SAN ANTONIO (Wednesday, November 20, 2024) HBCU All-Stars LLC has released its fourth annual HBCU All-Stars Watch List for men’s basketball and the first ever HBCU AllStars Watch List for women’s basketball, featuring the nation’s top HBCU basketball players from the SWAC, MEAC, CIAA, SIAC, as well as Tennessee State, Hampton, and North Carolina A&T State Universities. The HBCU All-Star Games will be a double-header played at Freeman Coliseum on Sunday, April 6, 2025, highlighting the final 24 men and 24 women from the watch list.

“The HBCU All-Stars Movement was founded through a GOD-driven vision in October 2019, after 17 successful years of coaching. The mission is to change the trajectory of our proud, prestigious, and tradition-rich HBCUs. We are truly excited and blessed to show the world that HBCUs matter. We are grateful to bring these men and women HBCU AllStar Games to the great city of San Antonio during college basketball’s biggest weekend,” said Travis L. Williams, Founder and CEO of HBCU All-Stars LLC.
HBCU All-Star Games have been hosted in New Orleans, Houston, and Phoenix with two back-to-back sell-outs and standing room-only crowds. In San Antonio, we have another opportunity to showcase our talented student-athletes and coaches on a global stage. Hosting the first ever women’s HBCU All-Star Game is special to us. It’s long overdue that female athletes receive visibility, greater equality, and coverage. There are currently no active HBCU players represented on an NBA or WNBA roster, and we hope to change that narrative very soon. On Sunday, April 6, all eyes will be on San Antonio, Texas for what will be some outstanding and historic games and a phenomenal celebration of the Best in
Black College Basketball.
The HBCU All-Star games feature the best college seniors in the nation, and starting next week, basketball legends and coaches who paved the way for them will be honored as well. These HBCU legends made their mark in this great game of basketball and reached the highest level of success in the NBA or professionally in their coaching careers.”
His love for HBCUs and the HBCU All-Stars Basketball Movement is unmatched. Williams’ annual HBCU All-Star Basketball Game during Final Four weekends, the HBCU All-Stars International Tour, and the ATL HBCU All-Stars Challenge spotlight the incredible talent of HBCU All-Stars and provide college admissions assistance and academic scholarships for prospective high school students interested in attending HBCUs. Additionally, the HBCU All-Star Game offers financial assistance to current students and student-athletes.The HBCU All-Star Game Experience is far more than a basketball game. It’s a week-long festival that highlights our prestigious HBCUs, Black Excellence, and Black Culture. The events will kick off on Wednesday, April 2, and conclude the following Tuesday after the championship game (April 8). The week of events may include but are not limited to an HBCU All-Stars College Admissions Fair, Community Fun Day, Tip-Off Welcome Reception, Awards Ceremony, and Social Justice & Civil Rights panel discussion.
