Haven't seen it yet, I don't think they announced last years until during the week. If I remember correctly they brought in mumble rapper Lil Yachty. Good for the kids.

2 Chainz is likely the performer for this year at late night

@JayHawkFanToo

For a lot of the major HS tournaments, these are sponsored events. As such, many of those tournaments don't cost the school's that participate anything because they are invited and sponsored to go.

A few years ago, when Highland Park High School in Topeka was a powerhouse program, they were invited to a sponsored tournament in Arizona (could have the location wrong because I am doing this from memory). The trip would cost nothing. However, because it was in Arizona, Highland Park had to apply for a waiver from KSHSAA to participate. They were denied. Here, an inner city school was denied this opportunity because the rules forbid it. Bishop Miege (where Robinson Earl and Bol Bol were) and Wichita Heights (Perry Ellis' alma mater) also received invites to similar tournaments, but had to turn them down.

Like I said, these are generally sponsored, so cost isn't a factor. Also, many of these tournaments take place during the holiday time, so the travel isn't as problematic. But because KSHSAA rules restrict travel, Kansas schools cannot participate unless they get a waiver, which has typically been denied by KSHSAA. Additionally, KSHSAA rules restrict who Kansas teams can play in these tournaments, so if a Kansas team wanted to go to a tournament in Missouri, for instance, they still could not play against a team from Michigan.

@BShark is right that these rules hurt low and mid tier prospects most. Right now, if you're the #350 prospect in the country and you're from western Kansas, you can use AAU to prove your wares against D1 talent that you don't see in the regular season. But now, with the emphasis on high school schedule, it makes it much more difficult to evaluate a player at a school that doesn't see high caliber competition regularly. This basically takes any incentive away from a kid playing below 5A in Kansas that is a prospect. You need to transfer to a higher tier program. If you're at a smaller program now, you had better transfer to the Sunflower League, or the Wichita City League, or the Eastern Kansas League, or some of the other big class leagues, because that's the only way to get reps against high caliber talent.

I can speak on the highland park thing from a few years ago the reason why they didn't go to Arizona. Year was because of the KSHSAA WOULD NOT LET THEM GO THAT FAR
