Who are the top Tennessee 17u AAU teams this year? A couple from last year when they were 16u, were Nashville Celtics, Midstate Ballerz Elite, Tennessee Thunder, Nashville Stallions, YOMCA WarEagles 15's, Music City Jags, etc.

QUOTE(Jim Harrick @ Feb 18 2007 - 08:00 PM) 826378205[/snapback]You got Franklin and Centennial as 1 or 2

Brentwood and Overton as 3 or 4

A prediction

#1 McGavock plays #4 Overton

#2 Whites Creek plays #3Brentwood

#3 Antioch plays #2 Centennial

#4 Hunters Lane plays #1 Franklin

Yes this is true I was at this game. White house point guard Welch had 24 points 20 in the second half and Welch's dad went and asked Franklin coach if he was good enough to play on that franklin team and franklin coach answered well we couldnt even stop him so ya.. . . . .. so if franklin cant stop a non-rated who is underratted point guard by the way then who can they stop? ? please inform me?

The win White house got over McGavock this summer was a complete fluke. McGavock's leading man JaQuan Kilcrease and some other key players weren't there. I can promise you that will never happen again. Also someone earlier said JaQuan Kilcrease is the most selfish player ever and that McGavock doesn't play as a team. Thats totally crazy. I could honestly say McGavock has 5 to 6 players who average double digits and 5 more at that who can come off the bench and play. Whites Creek is #1, but mark "MY" words McGavock will be #2 in District 12AAA.

What teams from Middle Tennessee are playing? I need to come watch some future stars!

Josh Henley has had a great summer, and is not being overshadowed... He has made the transition to the perimeter very well, and is continuing to work on his guard skills. Due to injuries and a limited guard roster, Josh even ran some Point Guard in North Carolina at TOC. Josh has had a few games where he's knocked down 3 threes. Josh has started every game for the Ballerz Elite, and plays with so much heart and passion-he's a coach's dream...

When is your next scrimmage or game?

Thats good Harpeth might have a nice squad come December. What about Josh Henley? Were has the kid gone? I haven't been hearing much about him since his season at Hunters Lane. Has he been over shadowed by better talent on the Elite?

Scotty Hopson-6'5 or 6'6, can shoot, handle, and leap out of the gym, he needs to improve his ball handling skilss and add strength and will have a great future

[

 

I know the Hopson kid is a prodigy from what everyone else has been saying, but what about the ohters I've listed?

I got some players here that I need some information on::

Michael McAdoo

Marcus Jefferson

Don Woods

KC Anuna

Scotty Hopson

Tyrone Caldwell

Charles Watson

Josh Henley

Does anyone know these players heights, strengths and weaknesses?

Well I really dont know much about the team, I know the two players from Harpeth and I know they travel some but not a lot. The 6'8 kid is just a sophomore and he is going to be very improved by the end of the summer. He is still lacking the jumping ability that he can excell to, and he still needs to improve his post moves. The PG is Cody Hudson he is getting very good, great ball handling skills sees the floor alright, and he is really working on his three point shot, and it is coming to him.

 

The Mcgavock kids I know nothing about just that they must be pretty good to be tenth in the 16u class. Also John Henderson sponsors the team.

Oh ok. I see. Well hopefully this kid can grow into the body God has given to him man. But the only kids I hear from the Jags are Don Woods and KC Anuna. Is the Hudson kid a starter for Harpeth this 06-07 season?

The music city jags are loaded with players from Mcgavock, and then they have a few players from other schools. They have two from Harpeth 6'8 Steven Dixon and PG Cody Hudson.

6'8 Man!!! He must be a beast for the Jags. I dont remember seeing him doing that much atthe Substate at Goodpasture. Was he hurt? Since you u know alot about this team, who are the players from McGavock and tha teams top players?

Best 2 players from 16U teams in my opinion, obviously the coaches can tell you the best. Some people will get on here and give you a list of several but I willwho keep it at two for arguments sake:

 

Mid State Ballerz Elite: Scotty Hopson (KY), Tyshaun Edmonson (KY)

Nashville Celtics: DeMario Williams (Culleoka), Raphael Gaskins (Glencliff)

TN Thunder: Michael Macadoo, Marcus Jefferson

Who all does Tennessee Travelers, Music City Jags, and Nashville Stallions have? There best players

Some big movement among the 16's heads the way for the newest rankings.

Week #3 the trend appears to be those who did'nt play were the least effected by drastic movement. Big upsets at the Challenge and no bracket play advancement at the Wallace Prather Classic played a huge part in the new rankings.

9. TENNESSEE MAVERICKS

14. TEAM MEMPHIS

6. Chattanooga Warriors

7. Knoxville Cagers

8. Tennessee Travelers

9. Team Memphis

10. Music City Jags

Out of those Top 10 `16 under AAU teams can somebody give me like 2 of the teams best players?

Who's the best 16 under team in the nashville area?

I saw a couple of teams play from each pool, and alot of them shined. Who do you all think shined in each pool. Name a few people from each pool.

Pool A.

I would have to say the whole TN Thunder squad. No not really but Michael McAdoo, Marcus Jefferson, and Kyle Upton showed me they could play the game of basketball.

Pool B.

The Ballerz Elite as everyone expected played excellant. Scotty Hopson form Kentucky, along with Josh Henely, and a kid they call Taye played brillantly. Scotty showed us that he is beginning to move into the 3 postion.

Now this pool wasn't exactly an exciting pool to me. The Top to teams were MurfressTown Hustlers and Music City Jags. The Hustlers came in to play, they played hard with 2 solid big men and in the middle, and there 2 man #20 who shot lights out in pool play.

The Jags also played very well. I was impressed that they won the games they did, because they really only play 6 or maybe 7 players. Playing well for the Jags were KC Anuna,who came off the bench solid, but seemed to be the Jags offensive weapon and leading scorer. Brandon Harris played big on tha boards and playing with all his heart. He was excellant on both offense and defense. But one thing I do have to say was that the guard play for the Jags was not their.

I was wondering is really on the Nashville Stallions and Music City Jags 16U teams? I've heard they are good but don't really know who they have. Can I get some more information on dat?

who are the favorites in each pool? just by looking at it i would say the thunder, YOMCA, Ballerz Elite, and Murfrees Town Hustlers are the top teams in each pool. Who are the TN Wildcats and the Nashville Burners

This will be an excititing weekend of AAU basketball. I think the teams to beat i YOMCA, any of the Ballerz squads, and the Thunder, if they can play sound basketball. They have good talent. Don't count out the Music City Jags or Stallions

I heard some kids that went to the showcase talk about a kid they called"Scottie". I hear he is a real athletic and was jumping out of the building.

Registration from 8:30am to 9:30am at Tennessee State University (Gentry Center). Cost is just $20... Look forward to seeing everyone there!!!

So Gomab, how did they showcase go? Who all from Metro schools were there and how did they do?

Is it true that the Showcase has changed locations? Did anything else change?

I've been hearing about an Allstar games for seniors in the area. Does any one have information on it? And know if any scouts will be there.

I'm going for 3 teams Whites Creek, Hunters Lane, and Siegel. But I'm mainly going for the Nashville Metro schools. Lets go HL and WC.

What about Don Woods of McGavock High? He started this year for the Raiders and was 2nd or 3rd leading scorer for them also. He has a nice jumpshot, but needs to get stronger and learn to not only rely on his shot but also his penetrating skills.

I also see everyone is leaving off Big Michael McAdoo of Antioch High, and Joshua Henley of Hunters Lane. This 2 teams wouldn't have gotten to where they are now if it wasn't for those 2. Hunters Lane only decent post player is Henley.

You should be at the Whites Creek vs McGavock game also.

Good game McGavock............Good overall night for 12AAA basketball
