The Jordan Brand Classic 2012 officially kicked off today as the nation’s top High School basketball players arrived in Charlotte to participate in a number of events tailored to the athletes. Beginning with an orientation in the ‘Gold Room’, which featured a showcase of the game’s most notable alumni, and special messages given by Jordan Brand VP Howard ‘H’ White and Eric Thomas, the Jordan Brand Classic experience gave this year’s participants a first-hand look at a possible future of stardom in the sport, with a visit to the ESPNU headquarters for a Signing Day Special marking the ‘next step’ for these young talents. You can check out the ‘Gold Room’ for yourself below, so take a look and don’t forget to tune in to ESPN this Saturday for the Jordan Brand Classic main event!
