     Under Armour Association is "no bars hold or simply say, not holding nothing back in retrospective", in their grassroots efforts to capture the whole country like no other on a meteoric rise to success ten fold!!! They didn't pick Stephen Curry not knowing the business on that young man whose father Dell Curry shot Memphis St.(called then) out when they were No. 1 in AP Poll for 2 hours in the 84-85 season. In just over a short four years Under Armour Association newly formed Basketball League consisting of top high school talent on teams from all over the country in conjunction with great coaching across the board correspondingly is definitely top notch. "Reps Are Earned" & "We Got Next" is for real compadres!! One of the first 17 Under Armour basketball flagship programs under the Under Armour grassroots program respectively on national levels. Coached by fourth year coach Norton Hurd who as compiled an 159-28 record in a short span of 4 years and presently 11-4. Team Thad will be one of the top Under Armour teams under the Under Armour brand.

Kansas beats out Kentucky for LaGerald Vick

LaGerald Vick Douglass High School, (Kansas commit)

LaGerald Vick gets co-sign from NBA player

     Junior Jaylen Fisher (6'2 - 185 lbs. Bolton, espn #32 & Future 150 #11) had an very impressive high school basketball season at  Bolton (21-9) which has a rich basketball history and tradition at the school with 6 TSSAA State Titles in the books respectively. Fisher with offers from Memphis, Baylor, UCONN, Florida, & Tennessee to name a few and will solidify as the season progresses. Last time Bolton had a  winning record of that magnitude was in 1986 when Sylvester Gray (Miami Heat)was at the school and 2 consecutive TSSAA State Championships were recorded in the books, talk about coming in cycles. Fisher had great showings at all major camps at the point guard spot with his high motor, strong build and long reach. In open court play, Fisher's highly regarded speed up and down on both sides of the basketball that can take anyone in the country to the rim that also translates into solid drives to the goal where he can finish on both sides of the goal in strong fashion. When defenses collapse, his high motor and torrid passes turn into assists from all over the court in multiple forms from dunks and long range shots that can change the landscape of basketball games immediately. His outside game has improved ten fold especially from beyond the arc.

     On a mission from jump, LaGerald Vick (6'5 - 185 lbs. Douglass, Kansas commit) who was one of the top scorers in the state and city overall will make a lot of noise on the summer circuit. Vick's beautiful rotation and high elevation on his jump shot is one of the best Hoopers staff has seen, that includes a stop on the dime effect. His freakish athletic drives to the goal will give opponents difficulty to defend all game long ten fold. With LaGerald Vick playing his best basketball yet in his early career for Team Thad or at historic Douglass High School in Shelby County Schools hands down. and  showed why he is at Kansas ten fold. Vick averaged over 27 points a game and 7 rebounds in New York Session 3. Stats for Vick at all three sessions he finished fifth in overall scoring right at 18 points a game accordingly.  Nick Marshall (7'0 - 225 lbs., Memphis commit ) with all that size possesses one of the softest touches on a jump shot which he can hit from mid range in consistent form. Marshall runs the floor as good as any big man in the country and can finish in strong fashion ten fold.

     We will start with one of the best shooters not only in the region but in the nation while playing on the nationwide summer circuit. Junior Nate Hoover (6'4 - 175 lbs. Arlington, TN. - Future 150 #) shoots over 95% from the free throw line and handles the ball very good and a growth spurt from this young man that runs in the family, so you can expect Hoover to be a solid 6'6 or more. Junior Micah Thomas (6'7 - 190 lbs. Briarcrest, TN. Future 150 #) which by far is the most athletic player on Team Thad with lightning jump on any interior action around the rim in strong fashion. Thomas runs the floor with gracious speed ending in thunderous dunks and elevates on his jump shot from mid range to beyond the arc. While on the other side of the ball his defense with crucial blocks seem to show up at the right times accordingly.

Micah Thomas (Briarcrest)

      Mikkel Norment (6'1 - 160 lbs. Fayette Ware ,Future 150 #) has the ability to nail long range shots from beyond the arc. His quick release makes it hard for other defenders to contain and will make noise all season long. Demonte Person (5'9 - 160 lbs., Arlington - rivals #) is a solid point guard who can play both sides of the basketball in aggressive form. Person good ball handling skills, drives to the goal and inside the mid range paint section shots in strong fashion while defensive pressure is super solid as well.

      Junior Dishon Marshall (6'7 - 225 lbs. Atlanta, GA. Future 150 #) was a major pickup for Team thad heading into Session 3 of  Under Armour Association in New York City. me has improved ten fold from last year with his foot work and soft touch from the paint. Marshall is averaging over 2 blocks a game and this young man is going to be a major force in the middle respectively. Junior Toriano Stokes (6'8 - 225 lbs. Westwood Future 150 #) who played for MemphisHoopers.com the first half of the summer circuit season will open eyes quickly in July. Stokes presence, shot blocking skills in the middle and monster dunks will help bolster Team Thad in rugged July live period play. His ACT score of 26 to go along with a 3.7 gpa will keep pace accordingly.
