2024 AAU Preview: HUrban Legends 17U

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In just their second year, DJ Pauldo &amp; co. truly have something special brewing. Last year on the S40 circuit, this squad brought all the smoke and in their inaugural season, defeated powerhouse programs in Minnesota Fury, Nebraska Supreme, Team Northeast, etc. This is a squad loaded with D1 talent! Let's dive in and check out their Live Period schedule and a breakdown of the complete roster:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SCHEDULE:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Date</strong></td><td><strong>Event</strong></td></tr><tr><td>April 19-21</td><td>Session 1 (Power 24)- Dallas, TX</td></tr><tr><td>May 17-19</td><td>AC Showcase- Atlantic City, NJ</td></tr><tr><td>July 14-15</td><td>Session 2 (Power 24)- Hamilton, OH</td></tr><tr><td>July 19-22</td><td>Power 24 Finale- Louisville, KY</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ROSTER:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='333302' first='Mia' last='Pauldo'] | #3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: MiMi</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The slasher. The 3-point assassin. One half of the superstar duo TwinBackCourt. You can expect elite guard play, sensational speed, jaw-dropping handles that make defenders touch Earth and a supremely high basketball IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='333305' first='Mya' last='Pauldo'] | #2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: MyMy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Efficient shot-taker &amp; shot-maker. Elite court vision. The other half of the Puma powered TwinBackCourt. Half scorer, half faciliator, Mya is one of the best combo guards you'll see this summer. With her twin sister Mia, these two BRING THE SHOW!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jada Snow | #11</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: Magic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of Delaware's top players, Jada has transformed her body and taken her game to even greater heights. Her two-way game has opponents in shambles and her versatility delivers the final blow. She plays "big guard" basketball but has no problem playing or defending 1-5.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='333550' first='Tatianna' last='Collins'] | #10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: Showstopper</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With length and speed, Tati makes life miserable for opponents. She is committed to playing tough on both sides of the ball; strong dribble-drive, effective floater and a hard-nosed, gritty defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='782573' first='Anaya' last='Karriem'] | #0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: AK</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talk about a fierce rim protector! Anaya is going to meet you at the rim every single time. At 6'2", she has tremendous size and superior reach, whether it's on the post-up and put-back or swatting shots way into the stands. She makes her presence felt!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='413729' first='Makylah' last='Moore'] | #4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: Bucketz</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This girl can GO! Standing 6'0" tall, she has the advantage over a lot of other guards just with her size alone. Now couple that with her speed and tireless energy, ability to knock down clutch shots and play stifling defense and you have a menacing two-way player!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nylah Mitchell | #36</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: Ny</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nylah brings a ton of versatility to this team. At 5'9", she is tremendous on the glass, playing much bigger than her frame suggests. She is just as efficient under the basket as she is behind the arc. She's a physical and powerful wing with disciplined footwork and a strong inside-out game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='525477' first='Precious' last='Wheeler'] | #23</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: P-Dub</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After missing her junior season due to injury, Precious is targeting a June return to be back and better than ever before! She's tall, long and lean, with fluid mobility and a knack for dominating around the rim. At 6'3", she gives girls the WORK in the post and beyond, as she can comfortably stretch out and knock down consistent 15 foot jumpers. Precious Gem is a major offensive threat and intimidating defensive presence who will make an immediate impact!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559032' first='Kamaria' last='Bowens'] | #5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: KB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>KB plays bully ball at the guard position! She's very strong, tenacious and pushes the pace to blow by defenders. When she turns on the jets, good luck catching her! Her defense will be crucial for this team's success as she applies stifling, in-your-face ball pressure that a lot of girls just cannot handle!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='667787' first='Jacqueline' last='Edelman'] | #1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nickname: Jax</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best 2027's in New Jersey, Jax wasted no time in her rookie season at Morris Catholic making a name for herself. She battled day in and day out against the nation's top teams and imposed her will. She's a total playmaker with flashy moves, stellar footwork and an impressive mid-range game. She has a nice build at 6'0" and can alternate between the Guard and Forward positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
