2016 AAU basketball circuits finalize schedules

Scout.com is reporting that the three major shoe companies involved in AAU basketball have finalized their schedules for the imminent spring/summer season. This is the major evaluation opportunity for both high school prospects and college coaches for the next several months and it allows us a good opportunity to see who the Villanova staff is evaluating (and who their competition might be).

Given Villanova's Nike ties and their strong recruiting pipelines with both the Philadelphia-based Team Final and DMV-based Team Takeover it's likely that you'll see the 'Nova staff spend plenty of time on the Nike circuit in the coming months.

If you're in one of these areas, these are good events for basketball junkies that feature a ton of elite prospects.
