On Monday, April 18th, the Denver Rising Stars ID was hosted by the Slammers in Englewood, CO. Rising Stars ID's are open events for 2026/2027 graduates and helps serve as an identifier for the Team Colorado's Jr. Future Games team this summer in Atlanta. The young talent on Monday was on display in front of the PBR Colorado scouting staff, while data was being recorded by our state-of-the-art technology.
Today, our post-event coverage begins as we analyze the top statistical leaders in various different categories.
