Eight Marquee Matchups from the Small-College Showcase to Be Broadcast Worldwide on Groundbreaking Sports Social Media Platform Founded by Lancaster Basketball Legend Jerry Johnson

ALLENTOWN, PA — June 2, 2026 — The Black Cager Live Period Invitational, the East Coast’s premier scholastic showcase dedicated exclusively to Division II, Division III, NAIA, and JUCO recruitment, today announced a landmark broadcast partnership with iUNGO World, the revolutionary sports social media and technology platform. Eight games from the June 20 event at the Executive Fieldhouse in Allentown, Pennsylvania, will be livestreamed globally, ensuring that unsigned Mid-Atlantic prospects and the small-college coaches who recruit them receive an international stage.

The partnership marries two organizations built on the principle of connection — the Black Cager Invitational’s mission to bridge overlooked talent with opportunity, and iUNGO World’s foundational vision of uniting the global sports community on a single, dynamic platform.

A PLATFORM BORN TO CONNECT
Founded in 2020 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by revered basketball figure Jerry Johnson, iUNGO World derives its name from the Latin word iungo — meaning “to connect.” Johnson, a Lancaster basketball legend whose career and relationships span the grassroots, collegiate, and professional ranks, conceived the platform to transform how the sports world interacts.

“iUNGO World was built to solve the fragmentation that has plagued sports for decades,” said Johnson. “Athletes, coaches, fans, and brands all inhabit the same ecosystem, yet no single platform truly served them all — until now. The Black Cager Invitational embodies exactly the kind of connective tissue this sport needs. These are high-level prospects and dedicated coaches who deserve a global window. We are proud to provide it.”

iUNGO World redefines the landscape of global sports social media by amalgamating community, opportunity, and a worldwide network on a first-of-its-kind platform. The technology accommodates every stakeholder in the sports realm, offering a comprehensive suite of features including:

• Traditional social posts and community engagement tools
• High-definition livestream event broadcasting capabilities
• Exclusive job and opportunity boards spanning the global sports industry
• Promotion and marketing channels for teams, athletes, and products

Positioned as the evolution of sports social media, iUNGO World serves as a game-changer by providing a singular hub for community building, unlocking cross-border opportunities, and fostering connections that extend far beyond the final buzzer.

A GLOBAL STAGE FOR SMALL COLLEGE BASKETBALL
The eight-game livestream package will feature the Black Cager Invitational’s most compelling matchups, showcasing unsigned seniors and post-graduates from the talent-rich Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Delaware corridors. For the Division II, Division III, NAIA, and JUCO coaches in attendance — who remain the exclusive recruiting audience at the event — the iUNGO World broadcast adds a powerful dimension: the ability to clip, share, and revisit player performances within the platform’s integrated ecosystem.

“The Black Cager Invitational was created to give small college coaches the respect and access they deserve,” said Delgreco Wilson, Founder of the Black Cager Invitational. “Partnering with Jerry Johnson and iUNGO World elevates that mission exponentially. Our prospects are no longer hidden gems — they are global content. The coach at a Division III program in Pennsylvania can evaluate a player live, and an international scout or professional team can simultaneously discover that same prospect on iUNGO World. That is connection in action.”
