The young men and their family's are some of the greatest people we have known. Jared believes he can improve his game in a different program and at the end of the day that's why we play AAU.

Tyler Sharpe is their leading scorer and a defensive nightmare plus a team player.

I am Jared's dad and want to say that the young men and their family's of Manimal are some of the greatest people we have ever been associated with. Doubletake you are exactly right with the game style they play he will not be missed and this is why we choose to leave. The reason Jared plays AAU is to get better at his game (not to be seen by opinionated people like you) and believes he can achieve that with HoopDreams. We wish Manimal nothing but the best.

Bulldogs and Retros in adog fight

Agree 100% and when he walks off the court he's one of the nicest young men you will ever meet. Sky is the limit for him.

5 star rankings doesn't have a ky team in top 25 @ any age group. Hoop Dreams got best of the rest in 17u. I would love for just one year to put the best ky kids together at each age and whip the crap out of them to show the true talent we have.

Team Manimal wins Eddie Ford Spring Classic 6-0

Team Manimal beat a very strong Music City Heat Team in 1st round of bracket play. Play Team Penny @8am

Point being none of us know what next year will bring. Quit bickering and just play the games.

Fact not rumor Kenneth is negotiating a contract with Nike at this time. Fact Nike has asked him about Manimal playing EYBL. Fact the reason Manimal did not field 3 teams this year was not because of no interest but because it would have complicated his contract discussions with 3 teams sponsored by Adidas. Fact Nike cares about making money!!! I have it from a reliable source who would make them more Travelers or Kenneth Faried. Go figure.

Maze cared so much about this after being mislead he did mass subbing 5 for 5 every 5 mins. Anyone that knows him or manimal knows that don't happen.

Come on guys, the event sucked no other way to put it. 20 min running clock not even stopping it for free throws, rules said it would stop the last min of every half....nope. Was told D2 and NAIA coaches would be in the gym...wrong !!! A day wasted imo.

Rankings are so overrated !! Examples Ky #1 pre-season then out of top 25 to come back to ncaa runner-up. Ballard was not only #1 all year, they were said to be miles ahead of all competitors, to not even make State Tournament. With that being said the best AAU Program is the one that continues to teach its players the essence of playing as a team and fundamentals. There is not one kid on any of these teams that doesn't need one or the other. Rankings are for the birds any team can be beaten on any given day. This also goes for individual rankings which is nothing more than media hype. That's all I gotta say about that. Lol

Actually do the Travelers fall under AAU ratings? with them being an entity of EYBL.

Team Manimal

You never know, he may be playing HS ball In NC

Looking for some movement this week. With spring break over for most schools, programs will be wanting to get back in the gym.

Knoxville

Manimal won Bluegrass Bash.

Good Luck to all players !!!

PP92 are you kin to Hagen?

Hope she gets the Casey Co job and beats Somerset out of district for as long as she's there.

Rumor... Hearing that Russell County is coming open. Didn't expect that at all.

I hope he developes to be Mr Basketball however 3 years is long enough to learn fundamentals and sure enough time to lose the bad attitude. This is coaching problem.

IMO a Coach with that resume and 5 Asst Coaches on the bench someone would work with their Big man. All I've heard is what an upside he had, someone better start climbing that mountain real soon or are they counting on Jesse to do it for them!
