For those of us not in the know, what is the EYBL?

Nike Elite Youth Basketball League

 

 

They have the Peach Jam and I think the Boo WIlliams Classic which are two very prestigious tournaments on the AAU circuit. Plus it's Nike. What's not to love?

Go to youtube and search eybl the circuit, it will give you a lot of insight and information on what the eybl is and what Nike is doing.

It is the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League. The league is made up of 40 teams nationwide who compete in a 20-game regular season. All 40 teams travel to the same sites - Los Angeles, Hampton, Dallas, and Minneapolis. The top 24 teams qualify for the Peach Jam in Augusta in July. These are the 40 Nike programs, and about 80-85 percent of the best high school players in the country play on EYBL teams.

How is plane fares,lodging,meals,etc.paid?

Jordan Green should be in the top 100 if he has a good summer. He is the real deal.

Bolden and Justice are the two most talked about 2015 players but I wouldn't rule out Spalding being #1 by the end of 2015.

Whatever happened to trey gundy? I always thought he was the most talented of the Henry Clay trio.

He's a talented kid but Jordan Green is better at this stage (IMO of course).

I enjoy watching him play. Probably my #3 Ky favorite in this class after Snider and Christen Cunningham.

Agreed. Trey is talented but he hasn't seemed to have improved as much as Green over the same time period.

Dang. Hate to hear that. Thanks for the info.

 

Magic will still be strong......Cunningham, Snider, Green, Grundy, Shane Hall, Craig Owens, Brent Bach, Austin Rentfroe, and Lamontrey Harris.

Maybe you can answer a question for me that Travelers Tradition keeps avoiding.

 

 

Is there a feud/rivalry between the Magic and the Travelers and is there a chance that these two teams meet up in tourney play anywhere or is the Travelers strictly playing an EYBL schedule?

Do you all see Bach getting to play some minutes with this team?

How does he stack up with the other players?

 

Are there any other NKY boys on this roster?
