Nike announced Friday that the first two sessions of the Elite Youth Basketball League have been canceled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and the NCAA placed a full ban on all in-person recruiting for college coaches.

The Nike EYBL is the premier travel league for high school basketball recruits, producing most of Kentucky’s future players over the past few years. It’s also the circuit where UK’s coaches spend most of their time during the offseason recruiting evaluation periods.

Nike EYBL play was scheduled to begin April 17 in Indianapolis, with the second session set for April 24 in the Atlanta area. Those two weekends also fall during the only two spring evaluation periods that the NCAA has set aside for college coaches to watch prospective recruits.
