12 is to many!

This team will only have 9 most weekends due to other sports. Maybe 10.

I take it the Caldwell kid from WC is reclassifying?

Is Jake Smith from Casey not playing with them this year? He did last year.

I was told he is with the Louisville Magic this season.

Again, why are you so concerned? Worry about your own program please...

I remember a kid named Aaron Dunaway. Is he related to Mike Dunaway?

I can't ask a legitimate question? I think he's a nice player and was wondering where he would prep, etc.

 

Why so defensive? He's not even a Traveler.

Legitimate question if anyone knows, I am not stirring the pot. I am sure it varies from AAU to each shoe circuit rules and to any other governing body, but how do kids who finished their HS senior years of basketball get another season of 17U?

 

Are there some certain qualifiers such as they cannot be 19 by a certain time, must they reclassify via prep school, or can there be a certain number of players on a 17U team that do not have to reclassify? There is not any need to point to specific players or teams, but there obviously are graduating seniors playing 17U for a second season and I wonder what rule provisions are the catalyst in making them eligible. Anyone know?

As far as I know:

 

EYBL does not allow reclassifying players.

Adidas and Under Armour do.

 

Unsigned seniors can play certified events in the spring without reclassifying. The team who beat my team in the Final 4 at Pitt Jam Fest last April had 6 unsigned seniors on it. Totally legal per the rules.

 

Reclassified players cannot play official AAU events until they have graduated their highs school and enrolled at their prep school. So Aric Holman cannot play AAU state this year but he could play nationals in July.

 

I don't know of any age specific rules.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that brings a lot more clarity around it than I knew. The part that seems a bit odd is the ability during Spring to play kids that are seniors on 17U at live events or likely any grassroot event. That seems odd when the system is actually grade based in basketball with 15U being freshmen, 16U is sophomores, 17U is juniors, and kids that are seniors who played 17U last season as juniors can be on 17U rosters again as long as they have not signed. Just seems like a kid who is a senior playing down a year even at these events makes the 17U division basically a 17/18U combined division. I would have thought they would have limited the roster to only so many of those kids. Reclassifyied players makes sense playing 17U, but those who did not reclassify seem to be fish out of water playing 17U. Why not just have an 18U division for unsigned kids like they do at AAU Nationals?

Don't think so, but I could be wrong. Mike is from Trimble County.

1. The EYBL does allow reclassified Seniors to play on the Circuit ie... Brad Calipari... Nike is just more strict on their rules of who is eligible to play when they reclassify. Adidas/Under Armour just let anyone who wants to reclassify play.

 

2. All Unsigned Seniors must be listed as such in the coaches programs during Live Events so College Coaches can easily identify those players.

 

3. GoHardITP, they do have Unsigned Senior tournaments as well as camps and Showcases all the time; just not around here.

 

4. As for tournaments that are not Live events, "AAU" events, or don't have a governing body, anything goes....

For Nike, you are allowed to be a reclassed senior, but you have to have been in that program the past year.
