"THE NEW AND REAL AAU"
"COACHES OR PLAYERS?"
I always wondered who does re-classing really benefit the coaches or the players? I can’t say the players because usually they are playing against inferior competition. I believe that some of these players look good because of the level of competition they competing against; we have coaches on the circuit that are all about win at all cost. So they stack their teams with a bunch of re-classed players and run the scores up in games. I always believed that the non re-classed players were benefiting from this trend because the non re-classed players get to play against stronger and faster players. The re-classed player is not benefiting because usually their fundamental skills are not there and they develop bad habits.
I was at event in Neptune, New Jersey and I saw a lot of teams with re-classed players. You could tell that some of these players were much older than the players they were competing against. The bad thing about this is some of these coaches that are coaching these teams pretend to be humble but they are really not.
I personally spoke to one of the these coaches from a suppose seventh grade team; he also pretended to humble but I read right through him. His team is suppose to be the number one undefeated team in the seventh grade and he had an array of players that were also ranked supposedly in the country. I felt embarrassed for this coach and what he was trying to do; I was not buy anything thing he was selling. He walked around all weekend with his pompous and self righteous attitude like he was best thing ever. I had to laugh at this arrogant self righteous person. I did not know how he even the got the coach in front of his name. This guy was a totally joke and was definitely using these players. He changed the name of his team at least three times in one season. Is it about him or the players? I think it is definitely is about him and feeding his life size ego. I would call guys like him back in the days a "CLOWN."
I know that this guy is not a coach because when he played a team like George Hill he looked like was confused and in a slumber. Basically he looked out classed. You can have talent and beat teams that are lesser but what happens when you face a team and coach that is better than yours. You basically put your thumb in your mouth and curled up in a fetus position.
Some of these coaches are jokes!! So you are telling me that you have a team full of rank players in a grade they really don’t belong in and you feel good about this. “WHY AND HOW DOES IT BENEFIT THE PLAYER?”
It is baffling this trend but it is what the circuit is like right now. A bunch grown men (re-classed players) playing against players that are either too small or not strong enough to handle them. So a toast to you coaches and feel good about your victories.
DO IT THE RIGHT WAY

3. 2003 Atlanta Celtics - Dwight Howard - NBA. Josh Smith - NBA. Randolph Morris - Kentucky, NBA. Jarvis Crittenton - Georgia Tech, NBA. Brandon Rush - Kansas, NBA. Mike Mercer, Georgia. The most intimidating front line in the history of traveling basketball. Future defensive Goliath's Josh Smith and Dwight Howard teamed to make the Celtics a dominant force. The often loaded Celtics featured 5 future NBA players and no one matched their talent level. Won the Adidas Big Time in Vegas. Won every game in the tournament (except 1) by 20 or more points.
