Yes Yall did. Was a great game until the last 10 minutes. My boys gave up. Won't happen again. But if it does, it's ok. I'm in it for each kid getting better. And I'm a positive role model for the kid

I guess the question is, who did Williams come to watch???

No. That's not the question at all. Actually there isn't a 'question' at all a comment was made that no big time coach (es) EVER come to the area to watch a regular season HS game. AAU is the only time it happens. I proved otherwise.
If it weren't for AAU, a lot more coaches would have to watch more 'real basketball' by attending HS games. I do believe AAU serves a purpose, but not as big of a purpose as some believe.
I wonder how many scholly's have been offered to kids in our area over the past 15 years compared to the 15 years prior. I'm guessing it's about the same, but would be curious to know any differences.

No it was actually a question. Because I didn't know the answer.

Anybody hear if any of our local 16's or 17's getting offers or interest from this past weekend?


I know for a fact Camren Hare (2017) had a specific College there that came to every one of our games and took pictures of the score sheet after each game. They are interested in him. And I'm sure they were very impressed with Tre Grubbs and a couple more players from this area.

The point that many people miss with AAU is the opportunities some of these kids are given. It is still up to them what they make of them. To use an example, Kam McGusty plays with our 17u circuit team (same team as TJ). These kids are coached well and have one of the better floor generals in the country in JJ Caldwelll. Kam plays for Seven Lakes in Katy. He was MVP of his district. Pretty impressive at the 6A level. But after an Under Armour tournament this month in New Orleans, he picked up offers the following week from UT, OU, Kansas State, Auburn, and USC. After one tournament, not after an MVP high school season. Why? Because that is when those coaches saw him with their own eyes. After an undefeated weekend in Louisville, there will be many more offers coming. He and Josh Jackson from Detroit have battled back and forth to lead the circuit in scoring. And this is true for several of the kids on that team (including TJ). JJ leads the circuit in assists by a mile.

I guess if it's necessary to dance with the "devil" to get those results, at least these kids will have the opportunity to get a free education out of it...

Not to mention, they come back to school in August battle tested and in shape. Can't really get that same level of competition at the park. Plus it helps keep them out of trouble.

Now they are projected to win Region 3 in 6a next year after coming within a game this year. That willingness makes players go out and lay it on the line for you knowing you were willing to do that

Too true. It always amazes me how a week after HS ball ends, how many are not in shape to play basketball at this level. I guess playing "real basketball" (as discussed above) doesn't require the same level of conditioning ;)

Hey you AAU/Summerball guys out there, whats happening out there with the local teams and players? I'm out the loop now and feeling a little antsy ( addicted) about now. 

​Kam McGusty leading the UAA circuit in scoring and picking up offers in bunches.  Indiana was the latest as of yesterday.  JJ Caldwell committed to A&M a couple of weeks ago and leads the circuit in assists by almost double the next player (believe he's around 8 a game).  A&M is a GREAT fit for him IMO.  Don't be surprised if McGusty and DeAaron Fox both end up playing for Shaka at UT.

 

TJ Atwood having a good summer and has gotten offers from Tulane and Loyola Maryland in the last month or so.  Look for U of H to offer soon as well for him.

​By the way, Defenders played Thon Maker (Canada Elite) and DeAndre Ayton (Supreme Court) at the circuit event in NYC last weekend.  Neither disappointed.  As good as maker is, Ayton was even more impressive (#1 in Class of 2017).  Kid is an animal.

​He might end up with your Wildcats, although I am hearing ASU is gaining a lot of traction.  Hurley is making a lot of splash early in his tenure there.  Not sure about his off the court stuff.  Haven't heard much.

​he seems to be playing "the system" well. From his "camp" he seems to not know if he wants to re-classify or go pro or whatever. I know one thing: Cal has told him to call him when and if he wants to be recruited. I wouldn't lose sleep if he chooses to go another direction other than UK. ;)

​He's in a position to play those type of games from a basketball point of view. Wodering if he can make up the work by summer to reclassify? Oh yeah, he could go home school .

      LC-M is open

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Head coach Brad Jeffcoat will be leaving the coaching business. He has taken an industrial sales job.  Coach Jeffcoat has really enhanced the basketball program at LC-M. He has done really well. This is a very good job opening. I expect a promotion to happen here and not an outside hire.   On a personal note. I will miss my friend Brad in the gyms. Always enjoyed my time talking with him. Good luck Coach on your new job!!

      The forecast for Huntsville looks brutal for this game. Houston TV says 3"-5" of rain this evening there. Hope they are wrong and you get this in though.

      Who Will Be President Trump's VP Pick?!

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      1. Trump has been the president before, and you're saying he has a chance of winning again due to Biden's poor performance. And you're agreeing that he's a turd sandwich (fair). Wouldn't it stand to reason then that Trump must not have had a poor performance during his presidency (since that's the only reason you're saying Biden would lose) which refutes your claim that the only reason Trump stands a chance is due to Biden's poor performance? You would have been better served to say that the only reason DJT may lose the presidency is because his personality is unappealing to many (turd sandwich). I'll take effective over feelings 8 days out of 7. 2. In my opinion, the major reason Biden has any shot at winning is TDS, a country that is slowly but surely being indoctrinated to socialistic thinking and a left-wing media bias that won't report what's truly happening. Definitely not going to win on the real issues. The real issues that are going to sink Biden: a. Wokeness and his unwillingness to stand up to it. He promised centrality, but instead took a hard left into oncoming traffic. b. Economy - go to the grocery store, and you'll see what I mean. c. Immigration - It's a dangerous free for all that is a huge national security risk, a personal safety risk, a health risk & an economic crisis for any city that has to take care of these illegal migrants. All to gain the Democrats millions of votes and control of the government basically forever. d. Energy - I could speak volumes, but you know what I mean. e. Crime and anti-LE sentiment - Turn on the news. f. Handling of COVID-19 - Biden did everything in his power to shut this country down short of martial law Get past the turd sandwich and do what's right for you, your family & the country as a whole.
