I would take the top "Mayb" teams in each grade level and put them in any aau tourney and would be confident in the outcome. Wichita Bulls, Kansas Hoyas, Wichita T-Wolves, That 4th/5th grade KS players team are no joke. In most Mayb tournaments, when you get to the semis those teams are good.

In a four game stretch the Wichita T-Wolves beat the Oklahoma/Compton Magic , followed by a win over the Georgia Stars (the so-called best team in Georgia), followed by a win over the Jackson, Miss. Tigers with 3 division 1 recruits. The fourth game was a platinum bracket final loss to Nike Team Florida who were well rested . Don't get caught up in the aau hype. A lot of programs have left aau over the past 2 years. I know several “Mayb” teams who have big wins over prominent “aau” teams.

Even if he was HIS team would get beat. There is alot of talent on some of these teams that are participating in the nationals. Opportunity, shouldn't you be at a softball game?

PERRY DID NOT START IN AAU...DID PERRY NOT PLAY MAYB? Could this have possiblly been a stepping stone for the present? Hmmm, let me be 6'8 and be associated with some sharks and see if I don't get noticed. Don't down play MAYB, there are plent of kids that are worthy, matter of fact there are a few that I know of that I would put my money on to outplay and BEAT Perry. Don't get me wrong, nothing against Perry, I think he's a great player and God has blessed him with the height to give him an advantage over others but to say that MAYB had nothing to do with the attention is insane. Everything we do leads to the roads we end up in. Last thing I must ask is, "Are you related to him or do you have some sort of vested interest in him?

Perry and his team has succeeded at all levels in a variety of tournaments. He does participate in MAYB and has for years and will continue. If placing in the top four (including some 1st, 2nds, 3rds, and 4ths is a flop, I bet UCLA and North Carolina were happy to make it to the final four and disappointed to not be in the final game --- Memphis was excited to be in the championship game, and devastated to lose in the final game, but realistically speaking, was that considered a flop of a season!?!?!?! We are all human, including sprtsfn22, if Perry and his team flops in a tournament or two, so what?!?!? The part of being a champion is losing! Learning from mistakes and being challenged is what makes a champion. Winning everything teaches you nothing. But at the end of the day, his faith, his hard work and the support of others whom you say has created a frenzy will be the true determiner of what his image is! Variety is the spice of life.
