NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana men's basketball signee William Loyd will participate Friday through Sunday in the second annual SWAC-SIAC Top 50 Basketball Camp at Morehouse College in Atlanta.The event is similar to the National Basketball Players Association's Top 100 camp. Players at the Top 50 will receive on-court skill development from current and retired NBA players and participate in leadership and life skills development sessions off the court.
Although the majority of attendees will be from the SWAC and SIAC — both of which are NCAA conferences — four from NAIA schools were invited. Declining an invitation was XULA's Jeff Dixon.
Loyd is a 6-foot-5 forward from Baton Rouge, La., and Madison Preparatory Academy. He is a transfer from Spring Hill College (Mobile, Ala.), where he averaged 10 points, 6.6 rebounds and shot 56.7 percent from the floor as a sophomore last season. He helped Madison Prep win state championships his senior (Class 2A) and junior (1A) seasons.
XULA was 24-9 last season, earned a share of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season championship and — for the 11th time in the last 14 seasons — qualified for the NAIA Division I National Championship.
