As always, the talent level in the gym will be high and college coaches from the NCAA D-II, NCAA D-III, NAIA, and junior college ranks will be on hand to watch the action and others will be able to catch it live streaming on Baller TV. Here's a quick look at some of the general things to watch out for.

Road Tripping From Afar

As expected, the rosters at the Expo are filled with Portland-area players with a handful coming up from Salem, but others have chosen to take the road trip to join in the fun in Beaverton. Central Oregon will be well represented with players from Madras, Ridgeview, and Summit, Eugene will have standouts from North Eugene, Sheldon, and South Eugene, and Southern Oregon will bring players from schools such as Crater and North Medford up I-5.

There will be some out-of-state representation as well. Carson Morningstar (2026 Prairie) and Landan Chiong (2027 Heritage) are crossing the Columbia River from Vancouver to attend and Gavin Rosebaugh (2027 Santa Rosa) is coming up from Northern California. And while they will be attending Roosevelt this upcoming season, brothers Jayden Metcalf and Tylen Metcalf will get their first true taste of Oregon basketball after moving to the state from Georgia.

The event starts at noon on Saturday and all the action will conclude by 4 pm. Attendance is free for all spectators. PrepHoops Oregon will be providing full coverage of the event on Twitter and will have plenty of write-up coverage in the days and weeks after it concludes.
