There aren't any major differences in Mumford and AAA Accept it and move on 1. They both educate their students as their mission2. They both get students from a large geographic area3. They both take a serious interest in their sports program4. They both are 1-A and played and made it to State5. They both in some circles are accused of stretching the rules [/quote]You forgot: both teams have 4 kids who will likely play at the next level. Oh wait, that's just ONE of the teams!! ::)[/quote]Come one Abe, that is PURELY coincidental. [/quote]You're right. I 'm sure most 1A schools have MULTIPLE players who will play at the next level, right? What are the statistics: About 3.1% of HS Bball student-athletes play at the next level? Does that sound about right? Yet a school in the smallest classification in Texas (1A) has approx 35-40% of their team who will likely play at the next level? Interesting....Over the last 10 years, I wonder how many (TOTAL) 1A kids from SETX played at the collegiate level?[/quote] First of all, no one knows what kid from AAA will play at the next level other than Singelton and McClure. I have never said AAA isn't a basketball factory. Sure they focus on preparing their student-athletes for the next level, just like a lot of other public schools. Don't think Mumford athletes haven't a desire to play pro baseball or basketball. AAA is just a high profile school and its easy to pick on schools like this. Schools like Mumford can sit back in their rural areas and build nice athletic facilities, receive transfer students, & reach Austin with little fanfare. I'm not knocking Mumford, but again, I just don't see any major differences in the two programs.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 [quote name="LAZEEK" post="1387527" timestamp="1363897130"]A 14U AAU team does not qualify as a junior high school team. It does not mean they attended Triple A Academy academically. They couldn't have because Triple A does not have a junior high school. Freshmen in high school are 14 years old. Therefore, they can play on the 14U AAU Team.Again, Triple A was not a school until last year. How could any of their roster been in junior high when they didn't even have a school two years ago.The difference is Triple A is not an academic institution. They are putting kids on computer generated curriculum's for a few hours a day and then hitting the gym. There is nothing wrong with that BUT, they should not be allowed to compete for the same championships as schools who: 1) cannot control their enrollment 2) cannot select their enrollment 3) must adhere to strict guidelines set forth by TEA regarding hours per day in the classroom 4) strict guidelines per TEA regarding instruction and how it is given[/quote]hMMM? Most kids I know in 8th grade are playing 14u and 9th graders are 15u. AAA school starts about from 8a.m. and classes end @ 4p.m. It is an academic institution. But , maybe their athletes have a half-day schedule like the kids in those student work programs.

[/quote]Thank you Nash!! ;D[/quote]Do you think everything that Lazeek posted ( and I have verified this information) is also "coincidental?[/quote]I can honestly say King McClure, Jr. does not need to win a State title to get attention or go to the next level. He's one of the top guards in his class already and is being highly recruited by major D1's.Again, most of those guys from AAA DO NOT play for the same team during the summer.

Lazeek Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 BD3 it is amazing to me that you are trying to pass Triple A off as a legitimate academic institution. You do realize that they are an AAU organization that decided to become a school don't you?Go research how long Mumford has been in operation? Go research how many times Mumford has been to the state tournament in basketball? Go see if Mumford allows kids to attend who do not participate in athletics? You refuse to look and you don't have to look very hard to see there are MAJOR differences between Mumford and Triple A.
