RUSTON - Louisiana Tech senior forward JoKeirra Sneed has been invited to the 2008 WNBA Pre-Draft Camp which will be held April 4-5 at the University of Tampa Bob Martinez Center.

"I'm very excited for Jo," said Tech head coach Chris Long. "There is no doubt in my mind that she deserved to be invited to this event. I hope she has a great weekend, and that the WNBA coaches get a chance to see what we saw all season."

The Pre-Draft Camp will offer WNBA coaches and general managers an opportunity to evaluate the skills of approximately 40 top global prospects. The players will participate in on-court sessions and compete against one another in hopes of improving their draft status.

The camp is by invite only.

Sneed was named first team all-Western Athletic Conference this season after averaging 15.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game while shooting 55 percent from the field and 72 percent from the free throw line.

The Belle Glade, Florida native recorded 19 double doubles on the season and scored in double figures in 30 of 31 games.

She pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds, including 12 offensive boards, against No. 1 ranked Tennessee this season.
