According to Travis L. Williams, HBCU All-Stars, LLC Founder/CEO “Our NCAA Division II CIAA and SIAC teams are full speed ahead in conference play and have already played two to six high level and very competitive games. Now, this is a crucial stretch for all of our NCAA Division I HBCU teams entering the new year and strong conference play in the SWAC and MEAC, OVC, and CAA. As a former head coach at two HBCUs Tennessee State University and Fort Valley State University with 17 years of coaching experience, this is the most important two months of the 2022-23 basketball season for all of our HBCU teams, coaches, and players. I am certainly looking forward to seeing some of the best in black college basketball played in the second half of the season, and watching our teams and players being on the same page, with team chemistry, peaking at the right time, competing for the regular season and conference tournament championships, and NCAA Division I & II tournament berths. Our HBCU All-Stars National Scouts will continue attending games and evaluating, scouting, and recruiting the nation’s top 24 players across the country.” 

HBCU All-Stars Player of the Week selections will highlight and showcase the nation’s best HBCU student-athletes and brilliant coaches on a national stage. 

HBCU All-Stars LLC will honor the illustrious playing careers of Fred “Curly” Neal, Johnson C. Smith University (CIAA), Sam Jones, North Carolina Central University (MEAC), Purvis Short, Jackson State University (SIAC), Caldwell Jones, Albany State University (SIAC), Anthony Mason, Tennessee State University (Independent). All of these amazing HBCU legends made their mark in this great game of basketball and reached the highest level of success in the NBA and Harlem Globetrotters. We will recognize their impact on our HBCU basketball culture during the 2022-23 basketball season and host the first ever HBCU All-Star Game on an HBCU campus at Texas Southern University. 

This event is far more than a basketball game. HBCU All-Stars LLC will stage the HBCU All-Star Game Experience, a week-long festival that will kick off the week on Tuesday, March 28 and conclude the following Tuesday after the Championship game (April 4). It will celebrate the HBCU Experience and will be highlighted by a HBCU All-Stars College Admissions Fair, Community Outreach and Engagement, Pro Day Combine, Welcome Reception, Awards Ceremony, and Social Justice & Civil Rights panel discussion.
