UCAAG INITIATIVE

Diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic in 2011, UCAAG Founder, Horace Neysmith
changed his diet and increased his exercise frequency to gradually work
himself off of diabetes medication. All of the changes made were
important but he felt that the awareness & education facets were huge keys.

Showcasing some of the country’s best freshman &
sophomores, the Underclassman All-American Game
(UCAAG) was created to increase awareness of the
prevalence of diabetes and the importance of student
athletes & others using their diet as a preventative
measure.
The ADA has stated that over half the population will be
diabetic or borderline over the next 7 years. The UCAG
wants to be part of the solution.
All net proceeds from the event will go to Junior
Diabetes Research Foundation and the American
Diabetes Association

Started in 2016, the Underclassman All American
Game (UCAG) has had the nation’s top
players, including recent NBA Draft lottery picks Paolo Banchero (#1) and Chet Holmgren (#2).

As well as former #1 picks Anthony Edwards and Zion Williamson in addition to lottery picks James Wiseman, Jalen Suggs, Isaac Okoro and Kira Lewis.
