You can’t judge high school ball off AAU. I disagree there. I think Walton and Collins are both good, however Collins seems to not have the support of the board in there own town, so you never know what might happen there.

 

South will always be there cause Simpson is the best coach in the region. North is staring some real young kids. Not sure on Oldham.

 

I do know cards guy loves Spencer and one day when they make it to region he is going to have a heck of a party. I think Spencer will go as far as Conley can take them, but I sure would like to see them make a region before we start putting them in top 4/5 region. This should be the year with Shelby and Anderson down, but Anderson may surprise a few.

I think you win the "homer" award. You clearly haven't watched many teams other than Collins. When you make comments that Spencer County is just Conley shows me that you have never seen them play or simply you really don't know. Also, I would say that the people at Shelby County High School are probably glad that everyone in Shelby County isn't catering to Collins. How is it fair for Collins to snipe all of the talent at their school and leave Shelby in ruins? I'm sure you would like that to happen. Hopefully there are clearer heads in Shelby County.

 

I don't see Anderson County surprising anyone. Nothing against Anderson but they just lost everybody and their very good coach. Seriously, get out and watch some games because this post is as if you haven't seen one other team than Collins. No disrespect but you clearly do not know what is going on. As far as AAU ball---where do you think these kids develop their talent and skill? Against the best players in the U.S. If your playing HIGH level aau ball then you are getting better. Your right we don't agree on that point.

 

Watched Marcellus Vail and Davion McKnight in several tournaments. Trust me--it makes you way better. Your kidding yourself if you think it means nothing.

Aau makes some better, yes. And before you start talking about how collins is treating Shelby, let’s not forget the whole Conley situation either????

 

Aau serves its purposes, but I believe 25% of aau coaches are actually teaching basketball while 75% are rolling the ball out. I would venture to say that most high school coaches are not fans of aau coaches most of the time. Tons of bad habits, lack of defense and lack of control on the offensive side. However, there are some great coaches as well.

 

Not a homer of Collins, they are solid this year for sure, at the guard spot for sure, while Miles at WV is the best post player.

 

Go Bears!!

AAU offers little to no coaching. But for higher level prospects It provides a median for better competition as typically, the only kids playing aau basketball are serious basketball players.

 

So a kid Like Allen or Tandy gets time against other good/elite prospects. AAU in the younger ages is meant for development and may actually help as the teams are more local. But don't fool yourselves. The higher age groups is all about "better competition" and exposure.
