Australia has sent the BA CoE team with a few additions to the 2016 Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Germany that commences on 26 March (27 March in Australia).
Interview with Adam Caporn and full details of squad and schedule can be found below:
Young and exciting Emu's named for 2016 Albert Schweitzer Tournament
Jack White (too old) and Angus Glover (injured) miss out.
That's great, are the women's program being given similar opportunity?
Will BA spend $100k+ on the women's program to play OS this year?
Will this squad form the basis of the Emu's squad for World Champs in 2017 or will the U.S based players (Humphries, Maker, Gak, Cherry, Kiir, Healy etc) come into contention?
Dam.. Those listed heights change by the month.
Magnay was 6'10 heading to Tulsa yet he is listed at 6'8.
Froling 203cm at u16 Oceanias and now 207cm
Colina was 205cm now 208cm
Fullarton at 197cm now 200cm
Dalton was supposedly 6'10 now at 6'8
Zunic smaller than I expected at 6ft.
Same goes for Isaac...
U18 2016 Oceanias/u19 2017 worlds? 98' and younger.
McDowell-White/Healy
Kenyon/glover/Hadley
Mayen/maluach
Froling/m.maker/mading
Humphries/gak

All heights are from the official tournament website.
One would think the CoE would form the basis of the WC side for 2017, however I would hope they select from the best available talent.

LC, Any idea why Lachlan Dent didn't make this team? Starting PG for the U17 Australian team and played very well to help us beat NZ at the recent Oceania's.
Can you please keep us up to date with games and box scores. I can't understand that German website

As far as I know, Dent is not at CoE and they picked replacements for injured/ineligible players. So I cannot answer the question.
Probably beneficial to give zunic some experience before world's.
Although, I'm not sure his spot is cemented even when attending the Coe.
A few other guys look like quality backups to dent.

We lost by 2 pts to Argentina. Kenyon had 14 points and has been Australia's best player to date.
Zunic had a chance to send the game into OT but missed a tough layup just before the buzzer.
Oceania squad?
McDowell white/white
Kenyon/short/glover
Mayen/rigoni
Magnay/maluach/?
Froling/Ferguson
Will Froling and McDowell be back from hoops summit?
Humphries, gak, m.maker, kiir, mading, cherry, Healy unavailable?
NZ are quality so we need the U.S based players available. But thats easier said than done given colleges have proven unwilling to let them go in previous years.
Anyone know when the squad is named?
Ummm, I'm confused. How does college impact availability for u17s?
I would have thought performances at u17 words is an entree to a great college. Are you talking "Aussie" boys playing at US high schools being ineligible to represent Australia at u17 worlds? Prom night?
Maybe I don't get it though.
U17 worlds in late June are 99 Born
U18 Oceanias in early June are 98 born.
Great to hear about the 2 SA Boys dominating in huge win for the Aussies.
The 3rd kid is doing real well too apparently with the opportunities given and has MASSIVE potential.
Really good for SA Basketball.

Australia lost to hosts Germany 58-77, with no Aussie able to score in double figures.
Dalton and Mayen Naiboth had 9 points, Kenyon 8.
Australia next plays Greece in a chance to playoff for 5th.
Not sure you can claim good for Basketball SA..'more likely good for Sturt SA who now has an au17 player and 3 au19's. Any other clubs able to say that arond Australia?
This isn't au19s - it's essentially the CoE team with a few added in because of injury.
