ST. LOUIS - Head Women's Basketball Coach Morra Gill McDaniel attended the Individual Pathway of the 2023 NCAA College Basketball Academy that was held in Memphis, Tennessee, July 24-31.

Academy coaching staffs were composed of Divisions II and III, NAIA and junior college men's and women's college basketball coaches and high school coaches. For the men's academy, the coaches were selected by the National Association of Basketball Coaches in coordination with the NCAA. On the women's side, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association facilitated the process for member coaches to apply to work the academy.

The College Basketball Academy for men was held July 24-27, while the academy for women was held July 28-31. The College Basketball Academy is the only event NCAA Division I coaches are permitted to attend for evaluation purposes during this period. 

The academies provided prospective men's and women's student-athletes a sample of the college basketball experience. These developmental summer academies pair high-level basketball competition with life skills instruction. 

In addition to playing in games, participants and their parents or chaperons attended life skills courses about NCAA eligibility and compliance; the recruiting process; name, image and likeness opportunities; agents; the Transfer Portal; and the pathway to professional basketball opportunities.
