Guest guest Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 There is noting wrong with RAGE but I would not say it is not the only place you can play.. I am not trying to put it down . I am trying to let people know that there is more and maybe some better options out there. Like the person said earlier there is more options now plus the camps-people just need to know the information so then they can make their decision for what is best for them or their child. To say all the top players played from the area is great but now there is information getting out there of other ways to go. But to say RAGE is the only and best choice is not necessarily the case..

Guest Blaster Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 If you look at just the last two years, every top player from the Binghamton area played for the Rage. It is not even close. You can try all you want to ignore that, but the facts are the facts. If you want to be the best, play on the best local AAU team - the Rage! As a former college basketball player (Division III), I can tell you from what I've witnessed, The Hoop Dreams will take a back seat to no one locally, and that includes Rage. This is not a knock on anyone, especially The Rage, but Kijanna Rose and his assistants have a good situation going, with Mr. Rose being the focal point. It looks like the kids have a good experience, yet he also insists, and demands, performance and achievement of his athletes, to the best of their abilities. By the way, The Hoop Dreams has some real good player. I think The Hoop Dreams has a 15-&-under and a 14-&-under team (maybe even two), and I would put his teams, in that age group, against anyone around this area. The reason: The Hoop Dream players can play, and Rose can coach. Once again, I am not knocking anyone else, but I am endorsing The Hoop Dreams.

Guest withoutchild Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I agree 100 %. http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=hoop_dreams if your school has a aau program play there. all other venues are money making jobs for someone they are businesses. the school program is for the student . most of the allstar programs are pipe dreams i saw plenty of stac games this year. the really good players are few and far betweren thats the truth most parents dont believe this so tghey shell out for the overatedaau situations. stay withyour friends compete against the so called allstars who are too selfabsorbed to realize this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 There is nothing wrong with either AAU or school ball. Keep your perspective on it-no one will be scouting your son or daughter. The scouts will be in NYC, Philadelphia, etc...My son played AUU for years on the "A" team and never once was there a scout at a game. Showcase yes game no. ( he enjoyed playing the AAU just stating a fact) Let the kid play where he/she will have the most fun because that is what it will be. I think people are starting to finally grasp the level of competition out there for basketball, which like I said is good so you can keep it in prospective for your kid.

If you read what I was saying I said-t makes NO difference where your kid plays if you think you are getting scouted- because you are not. I personally think the school program is better choice . -it was not as strong when my kid was there. My point was-if you are really that damn good in basketball you need not to get out of the area and play. Now I am not sure what button of yours I pushed but I think that 30 years of not drinking has made you just a tad bit irritable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yes you are right I made a mistake but what I didn't do was blame you for something I wrote.

Your son should get off the video machine and go practice his jump shot, he could use it. And you should stop living vicariously through a mediocre athlete at best. Get a life.
