The Ave Podcast – The Present & Future of AAU

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 165: The Present & Future of AAU

Today on The Ave Podcast, I’m joined by O’Neil Kamaka (HC of Vaughan Panthers AAU Basketball & Co-Founder of Skills Refinement Group), & Randall Walter (HC of Excel Hoop’s Prep Basketball Program) as we dive deep into the discussion of AAU Basketball. We break down the 2021 summer season and how things have changed Post-Covid; we discuss the ripple effects of HS Seniors/student-athletes missing out of a year of sports; & how it affects programs with recruiting going forward. Plus this podcast was recorded during the NBA Draft, so we have to discuss Toronto’s own Joshua Primo being selected in the lottery; the Raptors selection of Scottie Barnes; discuss of under-the-radar stars of this draft; the Laker’s Westbrook trade; plus a lot more.
