Under Armour Association: Who were the standouts from a weekend full of hoops at the first session of the Under Armour Association?

Even after the termination of the college basketball season, recruiting and AAU tend to generate plenty of attention to the offseason college basketball scene. This weekend, I was given the opportunity to watch several of the nation’s top prospects at the first session of the Under Armour Association.

Basketball City, located in New York City, hosted the event with its six hardwood floors. Noise decibels cumulated to extremely high numbers as 12 teams played simultaneously.

An innumerable amount of college coaches stopped by to watch their targets. Patrick Ewing, Jay Wright, and Tony Bennett were among the prominent head coaches who made an appearance.

Talent was showcased from the 17U, 16U and 15U divisions, meaning freshmen, sophomores and juniors participated in the UAA.

Many nationally ranked prospects were featured at the UAA; however, ranking and production don’t necessarily correlate in spring basketball. While most ranked players perform up to par, unranked sleepers are given the opportunity to display their underrated abilities in front of hundreds of Division I coaches. A little bit of everything was on exhibit at Basketball City.
