Way early, but I saw this tidbit this morning and figured it was a good way to kick the thread off.   Personally, I'm not at all into all this participation stuff that's the rage these days, but these certified tournaments aren't chopped liver and I have no problem with individual awards to a 1st and 2nd place team.  And no t-shirts!  Once again the NCAA demonstrates that its collective brain is centered around its collective sphincter muscle.

From NY2LA - Good morning - quick reminder that the NCAA has indicated to tournament operators of certified events in July 2018 that they can no longer provide individual trophies, medals, and/or t-shirts to players on any first or second place teams-only (1) team trophy.

July 11-15 is the big weekend.  Nike Peach Jam - Augusta, SC / adidas Gauntlet Finale - NYC / UA - Atlanta, GA      [thankfully all 3 in the same time zone]

July 18-22 - adidas Championship in California

July 25-27 - UA Finals - Las Vegas

As a lead-in to next weekend's HUGE weekend for the 3 major shoe company circuits, this today from Emerson, GA.  Unbelievable that it happened regardless of who truly initiated it.

I was looking for their roster and couldn't find it. Any big names on it

I watched this from several angles. Hard to know the true culprits here. That skinny ref seemed more the winning to go at it. But if I got attacked by players I would be too. Not sure of the true instigators but this is a ugly mess.

I follow aaubingo and you see a lot of funny stuff, but no comedy in this.

One of the people that commented on this said their team played RAW the game prior and they had been trying to intimidate the refs during that game. Hard to really say but perhaps the ref knew that coming in and stood up to them. May have gotten carried away during the melee but hard to say at this point who started it

Reminds me of a Gus Macker tournament I played in once.

Miscellaneous tidbits as the July evaluation period gets underway.

Yesterday opened up the Nike Peach Jam but still no details available on individual games except behind paywalls.  I blame the lack of available stats on the NCAA!  UA also kicked off yesterday but at this point there isn't anyone playing on that circuit that we seem to have an overwhelming interest in and are actively pursuing.  Adidas Gauntlet Finale starts today.

Tweet from Rabjohns that we may have some new targets in view one of whom being Keon Johnson.

Trendon Watford is not expected to play this week in Augusta, his father told me. Watford tweaked his knee in an open gym yesterday. Was slated to play in PIT with Georgia Stars. The expectation is he will play next week with Hoop City Basketball in LA, then in Vegas.

We've got Nike stats for Wednesday's game except for MeanStreets - Armaan Franklin and Brandon Newman.   Reminder that Trendon Watford and Kira Lewis' team did not qualify for Peach Jam.  Watford was going to play for the Georgia Stars in a play-in game but tweaked a knee and is out for the weekend.  I don't know if Lewis is playing on another team this weekend or not.  Some of the names below are clearly off the IU radar but I've tracked them this far so why not finish the year.  I have dropped kids who have committed elsewhere or announced lists of their finalists and we're not among them.
