COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - University of Louisville sophomore forward/center Chinanu Onuaku is among 24 players who have accepted invitations to participate in the 2015 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Championship Team training camp that will be staged June 12-26 at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The training camp will be utilized to select the 12-member roster for the 2015 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Championship Team. The USA will look to defend the USA's 2013 U19 gold at the 2015 FIBA U19 World Championship that will be held June 27-July 5 in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. Athletes eligible for this team must be U.S. citizens who are 19 years old or younger (born on or after Jan. 1, 1996). Former UofL forward Montrezl Harrell was a member of the 2013 gold medal winning team.

This is good for him. I think a lot of us overlooked the fact he was a true frosh thrown into the fire last year. He's big, strong, and full of potential. This experience can only help his game. I'm glad he was invited to try out.

I think it will be good for him too. He might not make the team but if he does, hopefully it will allow him to further improve his game. It seemed to help Harrell when he was on the gold medal winning U19 team.
