We are excited to announce a new partnership between Expo Recruits and The New Threat (TNT) Basketball, a multi–age group basketball program based in the Quad Cities region of the Midwest.
TNT Basketball has quickly established itself as one of the premier emerging programs in the Midwest.
The program is led by co-founders and directors TJ Lacey, a former college basketball player and college coach, and Macy Beinborn, a former collegiate athlete. Together, their leadership brings experience, credibility, and a player-first approach to athlete development.
"TNT is bringing new energy to the regional basketball landscape while showcasing some of the top girls and boys talent in the area. Their mission—providing athletes with meaningful opportunities to grow, compete, and be seen—aligns directly with our vision at Expo Recruits." -
Through our basketball division, Expo Hoops, we are honored to become TNT’s official recruiting partner. Our goal is to support TNT’s athletes and coaching staff by assisting with college coach communication, increasing recruiting visibility, and educating families and players on the recruiting process.
We look forward to building a strong partnership that creates long-term opportunities for TNT athletes and helps them take the next step in their basketball journey.
