Going strictly off of results, reports, and teams I've seen play in person.
I don't believe the travelers have played in a tournament yet? May be wrong on that one though.
The 5 teams listed all put on impressive showings at the Knox Vegas tourney as reported in another thread. Two were in the elite 8 (TBC/Manimal), and Manimal won it all.
16U I would go with:
1.) Manimal
2.) Ky Heat
3.) Lville Magic
4.) TBC Elite
5.) Hoop Dreams
State tournament in a couple weeks at the KBA should be a dandy in that age division.
Just saw that TBC Elite (16U) and Team Manimal (16U) will be playing each other at 3:30 this Saturday at the KBA.
Should be a great game, with tons of talent on the court for both teams.
Don't have specific dates, or know if these go in any certain order. But this is the schedule I got for TBC Elite:
April
- Bluegrass Bash
- Knox Vegas Heat Invt
- Pitt Jam Fest
May
- Run n Slam
- AAU State Tourney
- Nike Memorial Day Classic
July
- AAU Nationals (D2)
- UA Summer Jam
- KC Prep Invt
I know TBC Elite 16U lost the Weyer kid from NCC to the Travelers, but in talking to Coach Stapleton I think they'll be okay with the roster he supplied me with.
Hunter Wood - Pendleton Co
Trent McGovney - Campbell Co
Tanner Kidwell - Madison South
Pig Williams - Mason Co
Wade Browning - Pendleton Co
Zach Pulliam - Harrison Co
Siah Holifield - West Jessamine
Austin Fries - Simon Kenton
Brandon Klefot - Bullitt East
Matt Wilson - Campbell Co
I'll try to get their schedule as well, I know it's packed.
