Atlanta, GA (Future150) -- With nearly 50 AAU teams descending upon Atlanta this weekend, there are plenty of players looking to get noticed...
The Main Event tournament is in its fifth year of existence. While its roots began in Birmingham, Alabama, it has grown and evolved into an event that highlights the top young talent in the southeast region of the United States.
With each year that has passed, the Future150 Main Event has grown, and now it is an event primed to help identify under-the-radar prospects as well as future stars in the game of basketball.
Louisville star freshman Chance Behanan, Alabama stud Trevor Lacey, and current 2012 senior and McDonald's All-American Devonta Pollard are all alumni of the prestigious event.
Who will be some of the next stars to rise during the Future150 Main Event? Here is a look at just a few athletes looking for their rightful "Exposure"...
