No prob...And I stated underrated kids, because they are. No player on the Ballerz South 17u roster is ranked higher than #13 on Andre's Prep hoops site in Class of 2009. Same in 2010. And of course none are Nationally ranked. I feel a number of the guys on the Ballerz roster are vastly underrated, and hope to see them getting more pub soon...Same with the Ballerz 16s, who have now beaten the NIKE Boo Williams winner and the NIKE Memorial Day winner this season... (Amare Stoudamire Team Stat and Illinois Warriors)... Again, pretty impressive feats for a TN team on the National circuit...

Wrong thread buddy... The rankings have not been posted on CoachT.com... Already started a negative thread on another site... Way to be completely off topic and negative on a thread about a great accomplishment of a group of hard working and underrated 17 year old kids...

Flash, I agree! And yeah, the core of our 17 Ballerz South roster is def filled with East Tn players! Parker is honestly playing his way into Top 10 Class of 2009 with his production and upside. McBee has Conference USA offers, to go along with Mid offers and High Maj interest. Pryor should likely settle in as the #3 player in the State in 2010. Sam, Chase, and Chance are all playing themselves into Division 1 scholarships!! Great class for East Tn talent!!

From the website... Sunday's 4:30pm Championship game gave everyone just the matchup they were wanting to see, the top 2 teams in the State, Midstate Ballerz South and Memphis YOMCA. The Ballerz came out and played oustanding team ball in the intense, phyiscal championship game, and jumped out to a 41-22 second half lead before finishing the game out 55-46. A focused and defensively-charged Ballerz squad overcame a poor shooting and free throw shooting game to win the Jr Boys AAU State Championship, only the 2nd time this decade a non-Memphis team has accomplished such a feat (the other being the Ballerz as well)! 6'5 wing Nathan Parker scored 18 in the title game on a variety of threes, dunks, and mid range jumpers, and Austin East teammates Chase Jones and Travei Pryor each tallied 9 points, to go along with double digit rebounds. Pryor finished with 12 boards, Jones with 10. The 5-0 run to the State title was led by offensive balance, with 5 Ballerz players averaging right at double figures for the tourney. The Ballerz North squad, with new additions 6'4 PG Josh Odom and 6'5 wing Ashlon Adams also played well, earning a bid to the Jr Boys AAU Nationals in Orlando, FL. The Ballerz North lost a heartbreaker in the quarterfinals and ended up finishing 5th in the State...

Ballerz start with 15u, and have 16u and 17u as well, with multiple teams in each age group (6 teams total this year)...

Stokomo!! How's it going? Site is unapproved website.... Tourney is in it's 6th year, and looks to be the best one yet! We still have spaces available in 15u thru 17u, so email me, coachshulman at unapproved website ....

We are looking to fill one or two more roster spots on the Midstate Ballerz 15u roster. We have a great set of guards now, but need one or two hard working post players w size to finish out our roster. Please email coachshulman @ midstate ballerz . com

Congrats to Ken Bingham and Three Rivers!! Finished 4th at Juco Nationals!! Teammate w the Midstate Ballerz, 6'6 F Jeff McClain (Fulton Co, KY) also starts for Three Rivers and had a great tourney!! Former Ballerz G Freeman Pinkney (Kenwood HS) also played well at Hutch (Juco National tournament) for Walters State... And a great showing by rival Itawamba (MS) CC, going 1-2, with just an overtime loss to Indian Hills in the first round and loss to power Chipola as blemishes at Hutch... MAJCA represented well!!

Tryouts for Midstate Ballerz will be Saturday morning March 15... If interested, reply back here

I agree that Rhodes has great potential, but inconsistency issues. Hopefully he can get to the right Juco and really get things going on the right path... And you're right, Manassas is loaded w great prospects!!!

No opinions on who some of the top players from TN that will go Juco next year are??

I want to get everyone's opinion: Who are the Top Junior College prospects from this year's high school senior class?? Who are the kids w mid or mid-high D-1 potential, but may have to go Junior College first due to grades??

Lol!!! Yeah, this is the first time I have been on these boards in FOREVER! Got the day off due to the super bowl, so I thought I would see how things in TN high school ball were going! And yeah, I'm sure Prather has improved a ton- can't wait to see him play for u guys this summer!!

U are all right about Buckner...! He is special, and vastly underrated. He is the 2nd best Jr in the state behind McDonald. 6'8, long, athletic, and versatile!!
