Oh goodness. Let's see. Where shall I begin?? Yes, you do have good talent. Look at highschool teams. How many good players do you think there is on a team? Let me rephrase that. How many excellent players are on a highschool team. NOT MANY!!! If you are lucky, two. You always have a highschool team with one or two great players and the rest are good. And yes, I believe that one player can take a team as far as they can, even if that means taking them to state. Seen it done. So don't tell me that he hasn't had talent because I know. Oh and the comment about getting out in the driveway, sneaking in a gym. The ONLY players that do that are players with HEART. As far as AAU goes, if you are good and people have seen you, you will be on an awesome team, with an awesome coach. Wizardofwood, you are right, if you are on a good AAU team, you will learn. But everything else you have said, isn't real smart.
