YOMCA 17 & under Squad

[realdeal02]

The YOMCA 17 and under squad will be preparing for a national title run afer picking up 6'7 pg J.P Prince and 6'9 prep school bound All- American Shawne Williams and 6'8 Joseph Watkins of Hamilton. Add those three to the already talented front line of 6'10 Wayne Chism, 6'9 Thaddeous Young, and 6'7 Pierre Niles and the Y is preparing for yet another National title run. The Y will be in New Orleans this weekend for a tournament.

I have yet to see this team compete, and I didnt even know they had a team. They picked up those three players, but I was under the impression Young was playing 16's...I saw him playing for the MemphisHoopers 16s and now he's playing for a 17U that I didnt even know existed? Pierre was also playing 16s, did this 17 year old team just form?

I don't think there is a YOMCA 16's this year. Maybe due to the fact that Chism, Niles, and Young are all playing up. Is Willie Kemp playing with them? How is Shawne Williams eligible?

I saw today on Rivalshoops.com where Shawne Williams reclassified to the class of 2005 and is going to play at Laurinberg Institute in North Carolina. It's nice to know that he is getting another chance. That's just too much talent to let go to waste.

Willie Kemp is playing as well and is a big-time prospect out of Jackson.

there is a YOMCA 16s team that features willie, a center from Jackson, and Pierre...they also have James Hooper who graduated this year from BTW.

Williams might be eligible for 17s because seniors who are going to a prep school are eligible. I also believe that former WSHS Courtney Pigram is on this team...

 

They competed at the 17U substate as 16s coached by Easterwood, did they decide to move up? Thaddeous Young did not play for this team either at that point...he was still playing for hoopers...

yes i did i play yboa with the hoopers and aau with the yomca team and we just got back from new orleans after winning the championship in my home town new orleans

Ego... that is a 17:u team... No 18 year olds can play 16's... No Class of 2004 kids can play with class of 2006... This team is flat out loaded, though I disagree with the use of 3 Seniors....
