TEAM
THAD
(16's) 2012
Team Thad ranked No. 8 at
Five Star Basketball
One of the
top 16 Under programs in the country
Team Thad.
Coming off an
very strong finish to last years summer circuit action
going under the name
Memphis Thunder Elite and
going 7-0 in St. Louis at the
St. Louis Summer Classic. Starting this season in an
undefeated form. The roster consist of 7 kids ranked in
Top 150 and 2 kids named to the USA Basketball Team. At
present time they boast an 24-0 record at nearly the
midway of the summer circuit basketball season.
Leron Black @ White Station
Team Thad ranked No. 7 at Five Star Basketball
Laron Black
(6'8 - 215 lbs.
White Station,
rivals #20) had an very
impressive showing at Adidas Nation in early April with
an overall Top 5 ranking at camp. He has taken his game
to another level with his strong overall play from his
mid range game that is very solid to go with his very
good ball handling. Down low he can battle with anyone
in the country with nifty moves but at the same time are
just as strong as anyone else in the country. This kid
is going to be very special compadres and when his high
school career ends he will be an Top 10 kid in the
rankings!!!! .
C.J. Anderson
(6'5 - 185 lbs. Arlington,
rivals #)
is one of those players that can do a little bit of
everything and with his long reach and tall frame he
contributes in many ways and you will hear about this
kid all summer circuit season long.
Chris
Chiozza
(6'0 - 170 lbs.,
rivals #
Bartlett)
who is one of the best guards Hoopers staff has seen in
years from the days from Andre Allen and Youl Banks of
Ridgeway. This kid has a gift for handling the
basketball and that doesn't come very often in great
form.
Guard play was very solid with the
new addition of
Anton Beard
(6'0 - 175 lbs. Parkview,
rivals #)
from Arkansas whom is rated one of the top 5 guards in
his state and he proved why he is highly ranked in the
state of Arkansas where competition is very fierce day
in and day out. Also is an USA Basketball candidate. The big fellas that battled
in the middle all summer long together, showcased what
they have learned ten fold are
Marcanious Hymon
(6''7 - 205 lbs. Whitehaven,
rivals #>)
this kid is going to be very good. To go along with
Fattod Lewis
(6'8 - 210 lbs.,
rivals #15)
whose left hand moves are very solid with an very
improved outside shot from long range also.
Another teammate is
Ladarius Coleman
(6'4 - 190 lbs., Craigmont
rivals #) who does it all
in great fashion and big guard frame is going to
attribute accordingly all over the court.
Team Thad has a strong schedule this summer and
with the 16's playing up in the 17 Under division
in various tournaments like The Southern Showcase in
Jackson, Mississippi by host Jackson Tigers and
Southeast Elite Showcase in Atlanta, Georgia where they dominated
both events handily. Another marquee tournament
will be the
Real Deal on the Rock
in Little Rock April 27-29,
Nike Next Level in Dallas May 11-13, and
Chicago Best Buy in Chicago, Illinois during the
Memorial Day Weekend. July is no exception with
major events all the way across the board Adidas
Invitational in Indianapolis, Indiana July 11-15 and
with the Double Pump Showcase in Los Angeles July 18-22
and Adidas Super 64 in Las Vegas from July 25-29 to end
an very strong summer schedule.
Christian Mundt
(6'9 - 240 lbs.
rivals #
Bartlett)
and Juwante Thomas
(6'5 - 220 lbs.
rivals #
FACS)
round out an very solid overall ball club that has all
the pieces for winning national championships all summer
long. The only thing I see that they may lack in
is outside shooting at first but they have addressed
that issue and all the players have step up in that
department. When their big men can't get it
done and their will be a time when they cross that
bridge. Will the supporting cast step up and shot the
ball in great form and have proven they can in game
after game.
