DR3 KINDELL EXPOSURE COMBINE I know first hand how tough it is to get noticed coming out of high school and find the right fit. I took a huge risk betting on myself walking on at a JUCO, going prep, even taking a year off just to find my home at Barton. That struggle is exactly why I’m passionate about helping players get in front of the right coaches. I know how challenging it is to travel to camps, get the right film, and simply be seen. That’s why I created the Dre Kindell Exposure Combine to give athletes the platform they deserve. This is especially for seniors and those with JUCO eligibility left. If you’re ready to take your game to the next level, welcome to the family. Let’s get you noticed! Spectators are $20 for the weekend (At the Door) Coaches player profile books $50 Our Hydraytion Sponsor: PAHHNI Premium Alkaline Water Information Source: DRE KINDELL EXPOSURE COMBINE | eventbrite
