A.A.U. Spring Preview
Michigan

4/5/10

Inside Prep Sports

Michigan- Who's ready to spend their
weekend in the gym? Who's ready to
wake up at 7am to watch the 8am
game? Who's ready to rally the team
together for the fourth game in a
day? Who's ready for 4-5 hours of
sleep if you're lucky? Who's ready to
hit the hospitality room and have
some of the best treats imaginable or
eat everything the expert dietician
says is bad for you? We all should
be! 1, 2, 3, 4…Yippeee!!! I'll be on
fumes around 5pm every Sunday for
the next two months if I'm lucky to
make it that far. Only the strong shall
survive…with the help of Mountain
Dew of course. Read More...

A.A.U. presents the best players with multiple games
creating an efficient and whirlwind atmosphere.
Here's an alley oop from Drew Valentine (Oakland U.)
to Doug Anderson (Mott CC). Vonn Jones (Lamar St.
CC) is confident after he delivered the initial pass.

A.A.U Spring Preview
Letter to the Players

4/5/10

Inside Prep Sports

Michigan- The high school basketball season is over and the Amateur Athletic Union
(A.A.U.) season will soon take over every weekend through May. These events in April and
May will not be certified by the NCAA for Division I coaches to attend but one can best
believe that Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College coaches will be out in
abundance. Some don't like A.A.U. and see it as a deterioration of the sport but unlike high
school basketball where grades are mandatory, practice is regular, and rarely are players
charged money to play this is a time where a player's initiative can put him above the rest.
That means going through drills by yourself, finding time during the week to go to the gym,
working on the little things, and maintaining your studies. This is the time where the best
players on the block meet up with the best players in the county, then the state, and then
the country. Read More...

Player Commitments

4/5/10

Inside Prep Sports

Michigan- It's that time of year again and the weather
isn't the only thing that's starting to heat up. Recent
verbal commitments by Grand Ledge's 6'10" power
forward Jon Horford and Inkster's 6'5" wing Jerry Jones
are just a couple from across the country that will make
their college destinations known as we're a week away
from the April signing period.

Horford had numerous high major offers in the Big Ten
as well as the A.C.C. and Big East but chose to stay in
state and attend Michigan. He's Inside Prep Sports' #2
power forward in Michigan and should be able to step in
and help the Wolverine's front line. He'll bring solid
defense and rebounding as well as the ability to hit
mid-range and perimeter shots to the Maize and Blue.

Jones was a virtual unknown a year ago and
uncharacteristically played in one A.A.U. tournament
(Detroit Fire 17u in last July's adidas It Takes Five) in
high school. He had a solid showing in team camps last
summer and continued his solid play throughout this
high school season. A month ago he had zero offers
but had coaches looming. Duquesne's head coach Ron
Everhart and his assistant Steve Hall were in attendance
for Inkster's playoff games as Jones put together well
balanced games. They offered and he gave his verbal
commitment Thursday evening.

Congrats and stick with I.P.S. for more updates!!!

Trey Stays Home
Expect the same from Ray, jr.

4/14/10

Michigan- Mt. Pleasant's 6'5" wing Trey Zeigler inked his
letter of intent to attend Central Michigan University and
play for his father, Ernie Zeigler II. Trey is a top 50
player nationally and should step in immediately and
contribute to the Chippewa team. Trey had offers from
numerous high profile programs across the country as
well in state schools, Michigan and Michigan State.

In other news, Detroit Country Day's 6'2" point guard
Ray McCallum, jr. is expected to sign his letter of intent
to play for the University of Detroit-Mercy where his
father is the head coach.

Congratulations to all involved!!!

Trey put up big numbers in Las Vegas and is one of Michigan's premier players regardless of class. He has offers from many high major schools like UCLA and Kansas.

Player Review

4/18/10

Inside Prep Sports

Grand Rapids, MI.- The 9th annual Grand Rapids Storm
was once again a very well run tournament that grows in
size every year and drew in teams from Indiana, Ohio,
as well as Michigan. The tournament sites were once
again solid and the Sunday playoff games were all
under one roof at MVP Sports Complex on the eastern
side of Grand Rapids. High major players from the
17u-15u level were on hand and provided a wonderful
atmosphere for the competitor and scout in all of us.
