The Boys Philly Showcase attracts elite talent and college coaches from across the country to one of the top venues on the east coast, United Sports in Downingtown, PA. Last year's Boys Philly Showcase attracted over 600 athletes and 188 college coaches from the Division l, ll, and lll level.

With a 5:1 player to coach ratio, the athletes will be able to maximize their exposure to college coaches. Each team will be lead by an NCAA college coach throughout the entire day. The Showcase will feature athletes from, 2020, 2021 and 2022 graduation years.

After a competitive selection process, top high school players nationwide have been selected to compete this Saturday, November 17th, pairing with one of the largest high school recruiting events on Sunday, November 18th, the Boys Philly Invitational. Featured below are four of the top 2020 lacrosse players that Brett Manney has highlighted as player previews for this year's showcase.

ALEX BEAN
Defense | 3d NorCal | Sacred Heart Prep, CA

Alex Bean has performed well at the Boys Philly Showcase in the past. The strong defenseman out of Northern California is a great cover guy. He uses excellent footwork and you can often find him covering the top attackman. In transition, he is able to take it to the goal or dish it to an attackman on the break.
