Welcome to the official site for the Reebok Deep South Classic.

The ninth annual Deep South Classic will be presented by the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau in April. The three-day event will be hosted by three renowned universities - North Carolina, Duke, NC State and various venues in the RDU area - from Friday, April 17 through Sunday, April 19, 2009.

The Deep South Classic brings together many of the nation's elite prep athletes during the only live recruiting period allowed by the NCAA. In past years, prep superstars such as Courtney Paris, Alana Beard, Erlana Larkins, Candace Parker, Noelle Quinn and Tiffany Jackson have played in the event.

The 2008 event will include eight divisions - 17 Signature, 17 Sponsored, 17 Select, 16 Signature, 16 Sponsored, 15 Signature, 14 Signature and 13 Signature. Each age group will include 32 of the top travel teams from across the country, featuring the top national teams. While considerable attention will be focused on the prospects in the Class of 2009, the Deep South Classic also provides college coaches with a tremendous opportunity to scout the up-and-coming youngsters. A series of elite players made their first mark on the national scene at past Deep South Classics, and more will gain fame this spring.
