anyone know if he's as good as his brother?
My question is if we have essentially had to choose sides in Chicago AAU programs when TA came on board, Mean streets over Wolves and MIF? Or does TA have such a great rep in Chitown that the rival AAU programs have no problem letting their players be recruited AND potentially committing to TA and BU? Any Chicago insiders care to share on the Irvins' and Mike Mullins' relationship with TA? Is it also expected that we'll get kids from Morgan Park, Kenwood, Whitney Young, and/or Simeon on a regular basis? Am curious how that current dynamic is viewed?

“I think one of the cliches is people think: ‘Okay, he’s a Fire guy or he’s a MeanStreets guy or he’s a Wolves guy.’ Of course, I’m from MeanStreets and that’s my heart and soul. I’m not ducking it. That’s my program,” Anderson said. “But I’ve been able to recruit Charlie Moorefrom Mac Irvin Fire. I had Terrence Shannon committed from Mac Irvin Fire. Markese Jacobswas a Mac Irvin Fire kid. Those relationships are pure relationships. I know families throughout the city and throughout the state. Even if I didn’t know somebody directly, I have somebody who knew them that can get me in there. And the same thing with the Wolves, D Rose, the Demons. There’s a lot of impactful AAU programs. We have real relationships.”

Great article. I had no idea TA had connections with TSJ

Don't get ahead with Skyy to Illinois. Tennessee still a serious player and a blueblood getting involved. A Selfless act!

for the 50th time Tennessee isn't recruiting him
As much as we appreciate your vigilance on this you really don’t have to keep playing “whack-a-mole” here. The ignore button works just fine for me ;).
