Introducing Fastbreak 17u

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fastbreak AAU is back in 2023. The program is not new, but it is not old. It basically began with the outgoing Class of 2023 when they were 14u. Remember [player_tooltip player_id='1039211' first='Alex' last='Hyder'], [player_tooltip player_id='1039212' first='Gabe' last='Leeper'], [player_tooltip player_id='1019303' first='Jasen' last='Brooks'], [player_tooltip player_id='1034399' first='Judah' last='Sault'], [player_tooltip player_id='1019304' first='Rodney' last='Broadnax'], and friends in AAU allegiance way back when? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Fastbreak AAU 17u Head Coach Des Culpepper grew up in Warner Robbins, Georgia and played four college years for Hiwassee College Tigers. Who plays for Fastbreak 17u?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">17u Roster</span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1942631' first='Ashton' last='Munson'] (East Hamilton '24)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1495420' first='Ogbonna' last='Agbo'] (HHCA '23)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1939813' first='Bryce' last='Dupre'] (Rhea County '24)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1942636' first='Kyler' last='Akin'] (Rhea County '24)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2051630' first='Chris' last='Alford'] (Sweetwater '24)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1942511' first='Bubba' last='Faulkner'] (Karns '24)<br><br><strong>#24 [player_tooltip player_id='2051630' first='Chris' last='Alford'] (Sweetwater '24)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ok ball-handler. More of an energy guy for this team, a team with a couple of featured scorers.<br><strong>#21 [player_tooltip player_id='1942631' first='Ashton' last='Munson'] (East Hamilton '24)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Munson started for East Hamilton from his sophomore year and continues to evolve into a lovely, balanced point guard. Improved his outside shooting quite a bit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#10 [player_tooltip player_id='1495420' first='Ogbonna' last='Agbo'] (HHCA '23)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The only senior on the squad, Ogbonna is playing for a college opportunity. PrepHoopsTN is one place where he was always deeply respected. Ogbonna was ranked Top 15 from his sophomore season on. He is one of the Top 4 uncommitted players. Facing Crimson Kings-Black on April 28th, Agbo was great. Keep in mind the competition was really, really forgetful. He showed a nice touch from 6-10' and of course rebounded very well. Agbo is athletic. The concern is...is he a tweener? A wing without an outside shot? An elite rebounder and shorter post defender?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#20 [player_tooltip player_id='1939813' first='Bryce' last='Dupre'] (Rhea County '24)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#23 [player_tooltip player_id='1942636' first='Kyler' last='Akin'] (Rhea County '24)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyler is a volume scorer for both high school and AAU teams. It must be said that he played some very weak AAU teams in April, so the stats are a touch inflated. Still, the skill is relevant.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='1942511' first='Bubba' last='Faulkner'] (Karns '24)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Best on defense. His offense lags behind. Many games, Bubba plays a minimal role scoring though that may change in the coming months. The team probably will not have Agbo much longer and then the points will need to come from other players.<br>#15 Tucker</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/FastBreakAAU/status/1653063639329390592?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/FastBreakAAU/status/1653063639329390592?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming Schedule</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fastbreak 17u intends to play two event in May and two events in July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>May 5-7 Rocky Top Invitational<br>May 20-21 Rocky Top Mayhem<br>July 6-9 Best of the South<br>July 15-16 Power 24 Atlanta</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
