Saw on Twitter that Hunter Shelton's little brother from Apollo is playing with Team Manimal 16u.

Right! I'm hoping to hear some more this weekend for sure!

Yeah I understand that. I just remember last year by this point some players had already committed to teams for the spring and summer. For example this year I've seen that Pedro Bradshaw and Tray Hollowell are going to Hoop Dreams and Day Day Sloan and Tavin Lovan are going to Team Thad out of Memphis. Didn't know who else was going where are how some of the bigger teams are filling out their rosters.

Who's playing where this year and how are some of the states teams shaping up? I know we had several threads like this last year and I'm excited to find out who I should get out and see when AAU season rolls around in about 2 months!

It appears that 2017 Trace Young from Apollo will be following Eli to IMG.

Any updates on this kid?

Please post any changes or additions to AAU teams here so we can track them in July. I've heard W KY Elite has lost a few guys on a couple different age groups but don't know who specifically.

Are the Hoop Dreams black teams playing this weekend?

I just saw a report on twitter that Quentin Goodin has joined Indiana Elite. Is there any truth to this?

Please post your schedule when you get it.. I'd love to come out.

How do these teams become sponsored? Does your program have to be noticed by one of the shoe companies or is there some kind of application process? I've seen some really talented non shoe company teams and also some not so impressive teams that have the $50K shoe sponsorships. I'm just trying to get a grasp on the method to the madness.

Anything in Louisville in May? That's right in back yard. I might be able to make it to state as well.

What are the schedules for the Louisville Magic and Hoop Dreams teams for the remainder of the season? I haven't had a chance to get out and see them yet but I definitely want to.

I saw Trace Young and Ben Moss playing with a team called Owensboro Magic down in Owensboro at the Next Level this past weekend. I thought they were with Hoop Dreams. It must be another borrow a player situation.

I've known of Rice and Keita for a while and they seem to have a bright future a head of them. Where does Walter go to school and how big is he, Mentsch?

Who are some of the best big men in the class of 2017 and 2018? I haven't heard a lot about any true big men coming up in Kentucky.

Do any of you have a way to contact Mr. Atiola? I'm associated with a top AAU team from out of state and we would love to have him join our program but can't find any way to contact him.

I think the classes of 2016 and 2017 have some great talent in the Western Kentucky area, but I noticed that none of the players mentioned really have legitimate D1 size. I don't get out as much as I used to to see games so maybe I'm missing some kids but it just seemed to me like these two classes are really lacking in size. Are there any kids that I'm unaware of that have this kind of size? (6'6 and up) Include the kids name height and school. I'd love to go out and see a team that had a kid like this rather than the teams with 6'2 post players.
