[Derek Deprey @derekdeprey]

One day you’re gonna wake up and AAU basketball will be over. No more weekend tournaments, packed gyms, or team hotels. No more “one more game” next weekend.

One day you’ll be out of eligibility for high school basketball. Then college basketball too.

And eventually, the thing that feels like your whole world right now becomes a memory.

So stop playing scared. Shoot your shot. Sprint the floor. Dive on the loose ball. Compete with confidence. Enjoy your teammates. Because one day you’ll wish you could go back and play just one more game with them.

Fear and hesitation have ended way more careers than missed shots ever will.

Just something to think about.

2029 Aj Griffin (@aj.griff) took FLIGHT‼️🔥 #KeepDoubtin #UsOverThem

[Peter Gard @petergard3]

@Lanbeballin2029 burst on to the scene this year in NJ and is quickly cementing himself as one of the best 2029 guards in the area.

Ultimate competitor and big time shot maker. Joy to coach

[Tyler Sandora @tyler_sandora]

Landon Bethea @Lanbeballin2029 2029 G Eastern (NJ) had a big weekend with @UptownAAU. Tough guard hits shots, defends, and doesn't back down from the moment. Scored 250+ points as a frosh.

@sol_onwubuariri is a next level scoring talent who is going to turn heads this AAU season as he prepares to step into a huge role at @conestogaball

@UptownAAU

[Tyler Sandora @tyler_sandora]

Breakout weekend for 2029 Conestoga (PA) @sol_onwubuariri. One of PA's best guards in 2029 can score all over the floor with pace and skill. Multiple 25+ point performances vs sneaker teams this spring.

@UptownAAU

[Trent Watson 💎 @Trentw_23]

D2/LM colleges that are attending DMV Live should take a look at this @UptownAAU trio in Jojo Smuda, Kalil Riley & Andre Steele.

Steele’s assertiveness commanding thr offense + Smuda’s toughness + Riley’s athleticism = one of the most competitive groups in the MHC.

Steven Adams sharing the technique he uses for helping with self-doubt…

“I write down how I feel… the raw emotions. I stop, re-read it and respond in a different colour. The one with the raw emotion I imagine as a 10 year-old Steven. My response is an adult Steven… it’s like I’m giving advice to a younger Steven”

[Uptown Basketball Academy @UptownAAU]

Congratulations to our guy Andre Steele ‘27 for being named First Team All State!

Dre had a huge year for @RocksBoysBball , which ended with a state championship win!

[Peter Gard @petergard3]

Coaches—take a second to check out Ayinde McLendon ‘26 (CG) out of @TatnallSchool. Incredibly versatile, hard working combo guard who will be a great contributor to your roster.

1st Team All League Selection, 3.64 GPA. @ClementHoops @UptownAAU

[Tyler Sandora @tyler_sandora]

2027 JoJo Smuda @JojoSmuda is a strong forward who's a terror on the offensive glass. Stat sheet stuffer that will outwork opponents.

@UptownAAU

[Tyler Sandora @tyler_sandora]

2027 Xaivier Jackson @Xaivierj2 clips from East Mania. Unselfish big guard had a huge junior season, eclipsing 1k points. Efficient scorer and smart off ball player. Getting better every day

@UptownAAU

[Tyler Sandora @tyler_sandora]

Central League MVP 27 Grayson Golek @GraysonGolek27 East Mania clips. Super high academic recruit can get hot from 3 quick and plays the right way.

@UptownAAU @GVJagsHoops

[MADE Hoops @madehoops]

TTO National MHC 17U and Uptown Basketball MHC 17U went at it😳 Game was decided by ONE point… @TTO17uNational @UptownAAU

[Peter Gard @petergard3]

Development has skyrocketed in past year.

Super athlete with unbelievable upside. Year of prep school will work wonders for his game @THEajross

[Tyler Sandora @tyler_sandora]

2027 F AJ Ross @THEajross has improved tremendously in the last 12 months. Late bloomer forward that runs and jumps like a wing. Alters shots at the rim. Will be making a prep school decision shortly.

[Tyler Sandora @tyler_sandora]

Fresh off a state championship with @RocksBoysBball 2027 Dre Steele had a good showing at East Mania. Tough PG scores from everywhere and plays with moxie. Name to know in PA’s 27 class
