I just got a message that says the Magic 16U and 17U teams have been discontinued by Ellis Myles. Can anyone confirm?

 

Reason?

Reason?

 

 

Hopefully we'll find out. I've heard the 15U team is stacked so I'm guessing he's going to try to find lightning in a bottle with that group like he did with Q's group.

I have heard the same thing. Holman left, heard Jeremiah Bell left, alot of players have been unhappy for a while with Ellis Myles

Thanks to both of u for info!

I can't imagine the feelings the kids and parents have right now.

Holman to Hoop Dreams and Bell to KY Elite is my info.

 

Anybody got anything else on the rest of the Magic players?

Holman is with Hoop Dreams coach Q. Adding him to that team is going to be deadly. Can't wait to see them play. May go to Peach State if I can get vacation time. Haven't heard anything on Bell

Bell is with Maxey at KY Elite is what I was told.

Rumors about the magic 16u and 17u teams are true. Really a sad situation. Kids are going to be scrambling to find a team. With the talent on those teams I'm sure it won't be hard for some of them. As of now the players that I know that have changed teams are:

 

Aric Holman : Hoop Dreams Coach Q

Colton Elkins : Hoop Dreams

Jeremiah Bell : Ky Elite

 

Going to be interesting to see where Darius Williams, Brandon Berry, Cameron Reed, DJ Tyree end up

A couple of those guys should find a home with either KY Retros or Next Level as they played with them in the past. The Adidas Invitational schedule still note the Louisville Magic (17U) in pool X for the upcoming tournament this week.

Sounds like some teams will be the beneficiaries of a forfeit victory.

Has there been any confirmation that they have indeed shut down 16U and 17U teams?

Colton Elkins going from the Magic to Hoop Dreams is all the confirmation I need. They had no plans whatsoever to leave the Magic.

 

 

Add in Holman going to Hoop Dreams and Jeremiah Bell to KY Elite and that tells me all I need to know.

I was told it was a done deal but always try to confirm these things. If they ever want to have any credibility with kids and parents again, they should put out a release with some very good reasoning as to why they are making this decision. Just my opinion.

I think the Magic lost their credibility earlier this season when word got out about them quitting tournaments in pool play on more than one occasion and rumors of kids being left at hotels needing rides to the airport began to run rampant and without anyone saying none of it was true.
