Hey Souljah, I haven't heard or read anything about Central. Whats going on with Central?

Oh okay.

Obviously Silsbee boys not worried. They're watching the girl's tourney hosted by Silsbee right now.

Hold on, let me make a call to Bush and make sure this is going to live up to the hype, because I know Silsbee has something to play for.

Its the parent's fault.Too many parents want their kids on AAU teams and the benefits that come playing with these teams, and over half the kids have no skill set. And it sure wasn't the high schools where the kids learned a skill and AAU is not the place to learn either. I knew a parent who sent her son to a European school to gain more fundamentals because the parent felt it wasn't being learned in the US. After one year, the kid came back with no noticeably improved skill. I find it interesting that people want to blame AAU. Let me throw out a hint and get those brain cells working. AAU has been around a long-ggg time. Did you know this? ( Here are TWO important questions for you to think on) (1)So why is it so different now with all the hype that comes with playing AAU? (2)People outside of AAU (Summer Ball) want to complain about the summer ball experience and its open season period for college coaches to watch kids play. AAU is not the cause for college coaches not coming by the high schools to find talent like back in the day. And don't get me wrong, I am no big fan of AAU or Summer Ball, but I do recognize where some of fingers should be pointing to, other than these two. Sometimes its the silent partner who is really pulling the strings and keeping their hands clean. Some of yall so busy complaining about AAU , you really don't see the true enemy that's driving this whole thing.

High school ball will be here for the "little jonnies" to play.

Yep!!!

And I'm still trying to see the differences between high school and summer (ball).

Less competition?

Good points.

Ah yes, if you can't guard your position... true. Thats pretty standard conversation. Scoring is becoming rare these days? Meaning the player's ability to score has become less of a skill OR coaches are looking for attitude& defensive habits more? I left out court awareness because of obvious reasons.

I always enjoyed this tournament and the location. Ozen takes down Cy Woods in Round one.

Nash, yes I do. I think the partnership with the NBA and the various sports channels have allowed many young players to see their peers making good money in communications.

I see the same things in high school too.
