The 2019 Southeast Basketball Academy (SEBA) Atlanta College Showcase took place on March 23 on the campus of Oglethorpe University. For the past fourteen, this event has successfully brought together available prospects from throughout the South and provided them with an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to College Coaches. The event has served as bridge between players and coaches and has resulted in scholarships and playing opportunities for hundreds of players since its inception.
This year’s edition of the SEBA College Showcase carried on that tradition, as 200 prospects representing all parts of Georgia as well as seven other states were eager to compete and display their talent to the large collection of college coaches in attendance.

Felix Uadiale (6' 6, Forward, Eagles Landing Christian Academy; 2019)
In Showcase settings, it is common to see players trying to do things they don't normally do. Felix did not have the problem. He Having helped lead ELCA to the State Championship Game this past season with athletic and hard nosed play inside the paint, Felix brought that same type of game to camp and really thrived in doing it. He is an outstanding leaper and plays with a great motor. He controlled the boards on both ends of the floor and is an aggressive rim protector. Offensively, he finished around the rim with a combination of layups and power dunks, mixed in with occasional face-up jumper. Just recently committed to play his College ball at Maryville College. Look for Felix to be a high impact player in the USA South Conference over the next four years.

Nayari Dampier (6' 0, PG, The Skill Factory Prep; 2019)
One of the top floor generals in the event, Nayari did a fine job orchestrating the offense for his team and making everyone around him better. His combination of speed and court vision is impressive. He was successful weaving in and out of defenders in the open court as well as attacking the paint in the half court set. The year of Prep school at TSF has visibly developed his game as he has put on at least 10 lbs of muscle and plays with more court confidence. He looks more than ready to successfully lead a team from the PG spot this Fall at the College level.

He puts his length and upper body strength to good use as a lock down defender on the perimeter. A highly coachable player with great work ethic, Alex has improved dramatically over the past year and expect him to continue that progression as he steps up to the college level.
