A lot of things are going on around the AAU world right now. So we decided to hit a couple of our sources and bring you another “Word On The Street”. Remember most of this information is not concrete as of yet but mostly from the rumor mill.
Karl Towns + Tyus Battle + Morden Warfare 3 =?Top 5 Frosh in the country Karl Towns and Grammar School Phenom Tyus Battle supposedly have more in coming than shooting hoops. The two hardwood stars have formed a friendship through their love for online video games. This relationship led to Battle taking a Freshman for a Day visit to St. Joseph’s Metuchen in which Towns currently attends. Does this mean the Garden State rising star who previous said he was attending Gil St. Bernard’s might be opting to join Towns at St. Joes? I guess it’s too early to tell but we will keep you posted as this story develops.
Smith Out Of Spider’s Web?The word out of North Carolina is that Jatirious “New J” Smith will be leaving the CB Spiders 13U squad when the season starts. Apparently D One Sports, the team that raised John Wall sees enormous potential in Smith at the guard position and has decided to showcase him on their 15U team. This is very interesting because Smith was a vital piece of CB Spiders finishing #10 in the country last summer. We will keep you posted on this story.
Miller Joins Playaz!6’9 Rodney Miller made a little noise after the Tip Off Classic playing with New Rens. Now Miller who’s original team is Riverside Hawks has been seen with the Nike based Playaz Basketball Club at recent events. This would be a huge pickup for the Playaz for the immediately and for the future as Miller is charted to have big time potential.
