I think they won both divisions.

Will they have all high school age groups?

Predicting the end is nearly impossible, but my top 3 predictions, in order: Goodin Wright Dow

Goodin is a stud, but at this point his offers are on upside. He definitely has the potential to be one of the best to ever come out of the state, but if I need a PG today, Beverly is my guy.

I was going to ask the same thing. Beverly and Wright are the top 2 for sure.

Sorry. The second one that just graduated 2 years ago. Bumping Quick.

No Saxon?

Hoop Dreams? That's the opposite of what I've heard, but you never can tell with AAU.

Bullitt East is already loaded in the freshman and sophomore classes. Looks like they're reloading.

He's a major player. Once his athleticism catches up with his growth spurt, the sky is the limit.

Yes. It's the same tourney as last year. Eddie couldn't have his name on the tourney because of an NCAA certification snafu. I think it was called the Adidas Nations last year, but I'm not totally sure.

Hoop Dreams is really good. If they had Dow, this conversation probably wouldn't be happening. It would be nice to see them with a pure PG to help free Gooden up. He's such a good scorer that he almost defers too much to get everyone involved. That's a team full of studs. Hopefully they stay together.

Good work!

Coaches are allowed at Eddie Ford. There was an NCAA certification thing a couple years ago, so they played it as some other name last year, but its good now. I was at the spring one and there were several coaches walking around.

Look forward to watching!

You completely missed the point of what I was saying. I didn't say anything negative about Manimal. I enjoy watching them.

I have watched them quite a few times. I really like them. But I've been around AAU for a long time. Most teams that play up, especially at that level, don't have a chance. It's not an indictment against Manimal, they're great. I know you're a huge fan of Maze, and the team, as am I, but I'm also realistic.

Surprised it was that close. I applaud Manimal for playing up, but it just wasn't realistic.

Yeah. He looks like he weighs about 100lbs. But he can play.

I think Hoop Dreams is sending all of their teams also. Their high school teams are great.

Bring it home!

CPA lost Lindsey, and there are rumors that they're losing Blackwell. Without Lindsey, they're above average. Without Blackwell, they're a shell of the team last year.

I'd say 3rd. They're in a district with Bullitt East, and an improved J-Town team. Bullitt East will win that district again, but J-Town is going to surprise a lot of people.

Still has to be certified. KTIP.

Manimal is fun to watch. And both teams have great coaching. But Manimal won't even get close to the Travelers. Jalen Perry will dominate the Manimal guards, and the Travelers are way too big.
