Wow how many of these opportunities does a Harry F and WMW have, they must be blessed to get so much gifted to them. what about other kids getting a chance and sharing some of the wealth?

Unlike the previous 2 posters I won't whine like a b%%ch.

Good luck to them, that's a nice squad they've picked and I think it will do very well

"Who actually picks this team? Not one I would have selected"
Perhaps if you had your own business in basketball you might be able to do that.

...And it's a good team. Playing front of a shed-load of college coaches too, great exposure.

On a side not I'm really excited to see how WMW plays with the leash off and along side bigs who can run and finish at the rim.

Take a chill pill - nobody is saying that it's not a good team. It's just not a team of the best players available. Any unbiased view of the selections would elicit that same view. Hence why I asked who selected it and on what basis.

You do realise that the kids in that team are the kids that Livon has access too.

We should all listen to an anonymous too weak to put his name to who he would select for the best team selection advice...

Besides which its(,not adidas nations) an aau event, the only selection criteria is who Randy Livingston feels is worthwhile to showcase to college coaches, and who wants to pay for the experience. Which is cool.

As for the Nations I'd say the reason Australia doesn't send an actual rep select team anymore I they don't wear adidas gear.

I like having someone outside the system in charge of the group tbh.

Froling and WMW will be the standouts. Of course they are going to be included.

Sorry your association kid didn't make the squad though anon.

Reason the team changed for Nations is that Australia nor Asia could put front a team with enough talent therefore they merged it

Randy constantly works out kids from all over Australia and New Zealand giving them a foot in the door to colleges suitable to their talents.

Team LivOn has recently had major success with women gaining full scholarships to Wake Forrest and Stanford.

Most of these kids on this team will not sign with major colleges but it is doing its job by getting them exposure in front of hundreds of college scouts.

Good program that many are unaware of the amount of kids that are getting a chance of a lifetime.
