The 8th Annual DFW HS All-Star &
Unsigned Diamonds Showcase
The DFW HS ALL STAR & Unsigned Senior Showcase committee has just unveiled the Official Nominations for the 8th Annual DFW High School ALL STAR & Unsigned Diamonds Showcase Games! The 2024 teams will feature some of the state’s top talent hailing from the DFW Metroplex. For the past two decades, Heads Up! has set the stage for hundreds of unsigned seniors to showcase their talents, giving college coaches/recruiters one ‘last look' with many of those student-athletes receiving college scholarships.
Heads Up! has dedicated 20 years mentoring student-athletes/leaders, providing quarterly opportunities for development and exposure that prepares them for their future. Our Inaugural ALL STAR Exposure Showcase in 2017 featured 22 of the best players in Dallas county (East vs West) - all set before a host of college coaches/recruiters; and only 4 players had college commitments prior to tip-off. Within 6 weeks following that presentation, 14 of those unsigned Seniors were offered college scholarships. We proudly attribute that to the mass media exposure, direct support and leadership, and advocacy provided by our organization.
In 2018, HeadsUp! introduced the Unsigned Diamonds Combine which allows eligible, high school Seniors with little or no college offers to showcase their abilities in a college-like environment. Top performers are selected to play in the Showcase Game that precedes the ALL STAR Game. This unique feature has proven to be a successful tool for solid college exposure.

-All-Star Community Service Project
-All-Star Media Day
-Unsigned Diamond Combine (Saturday)

“The student-athletes selected to the DFW HS ALL STAR Showcase rosters represent the future of basketball,” notes Jabari Johnson, Founder of The Heads Up! Foundation. “We’re always excited about the opportunity to showcase some of the finest basketball talent across the metroplex while raising funds and awareness for our cause. We are honored to serve as a launch pad of success for our student-athletes and look forward to following their respective careers at the next level.”
