Kansas University freshman Travis Releford is one of 20 players who will gather in Washington, D.C., today for USA Basketball’s Under 18 national team trials at Verizon Center.
Releford, a 6-5 guard from Bishop Miege in Roeland Park, will try to make the 12-player team and travel to the 2008 FIBA Americas U18 championships July 14-18 in Argentina. Cuts are expected to be made Thursday or Friday.
