Name: Afamdi Achufusi
AAU Team: Havoc City
Position: Forward
Class: 2021
Breakdown: A fresh face to the Basketball Spotlight scene, the straight A student truly impressed. The 5’9 6th grader can play any position from the 1-5. He grabbed rebounds and pushed the ball the length of the court with ease. He even has range beyond the arc. Achufusi had a game high 22 points and 9 rebounds in Havoc’s final game against Team Philly scoring from just about everywhere on the floor. We will keep our eye on this kid.

Yesterday AAU Basketball dropped a bombshell while at their National Convention. According to their new standards as of now they no longer will allow grade exceptions to compete in their events. Now their team levels will be age based and the cut-off date will be September 1st. Basketball Spotlight has always been now as one of the most competitive circuits in the country and we will move forward with our current rules. Our Orange Division will invite and accept teams that have grade exceptions while our Blue Division will give teams the option of playing other teams on their level. Stay tuned as Basketball Spotlight will bring you an exclusive article detailing the impact of this historic ruling.

The AAU Rule change concerning no grade exceptions was the hot topic yesterday. Now Basketball Spotlight will give you a few ways this ruling will impact the game of grammar/middle school hoops.
Reason For Change! Several years ago AAU decided to change the three grade exception rule to unlimited grade exceptions. At first look the ruling looked to be a move in the right direction because it seemed to give them less reason to police the eligibility of players. They felt as though there would be no reason to cheat if you were allowed unlimited grade exceptions. But the ruling also caused an influx of players reclassifying which changed the level of competition at their national events. When the competition level got higher, most middle tier clubs decided to seek refuge in other organizations such as YBOA or USBA. Majority of the departing clubs pointed to the unlimited grade exception rule as their reason for leaving. AAU also took a hit publicly from purest that felt the rule went totally against academics because he seemed to promote players repeating grades to compete. I believe these two factors led to them abolishing the grade exception rule.
![]()
I think the rule change has opened options for teams that feel like they are on the elite level. Instead of busting up dynasties that teams took years to build I think most will opt to play on circuit such as Basketball Spotlight and NYBL. This way they are still competing against top level teams and keeping their troops together. Quite honesty most of the directors of the elite programs on the middle school level were looking for a reason to escape the huge cost of going to the AAU Nationals. Now they have it. ![]()
It is my feeling that as long as the sneaker circuits keep their current rules most of the top tier teams will also stay intact. Since majority of the top level sneaker teams have developed feeder systems on the grammar school level I can’t see them blowing it all up because of the rule change. They will still want to stock pile the best talent according to grade to give them the best chance to compete on the sneaker circuits once they reach high school. In fact they might even get stronger if they snatch the top grade exceptions from those teams that have chosen to conform to the new rules.
Choice Is Yours!
Finally, I think the new rules have made travel teams have to choose the route in which they want to perform. Will they chase the national championship dreams or will they opt for the competition, bright lights, media coverage and sneaker deals giving to them by opposing circuits? We will find out soon because the season kicks off in no time. Basketball Spotlight will keep you posted.

Terrence Williams Was Voted #1 7th Grader
It took a fierce battle all the way to the last as Terrence Williams of Slam City Elite was voted #1 7th Grade in the country by the fans. Jaden Springer tried to make a late run and ended with 1031 votes while Shemar Morrow from California came in 3rd with 136 votes. Basketball Spotlight would like to congratulate Williams and we will see if the fans were right in a few more hours when we release our Class of 2020 player rankings.

Marquise In Between Is Little Brother And Sheron Collins
Hello Basketball Spotlight World,
Monday, I woke up and ate some breakfast and got ready and went to school. I got all my homework done and turned it in to all my classes. My CSI class was very fun. We have to find out who was the murderer and how did they do it. That class is really expanding my wisdom. After school I went to the high school and my coach pulled me in the office before practice. I had gotten my first letter from a college. It was LSU. I didn’t know much about them but my dad said Shaq went there and this cold guard he liked named Chris Jackson. I was excited to receive the letter it had a bunch of questions for me to answer. We had practice afterwards and we had a good workout as a team but I was off, I dont know what it was but I was off. Then I went home took a shower, did my homework and went straight to bed.
The next day I got ready to go to school and I was just thinking a lot of why I was off yesterday. I have been down lately because the people that have passed around me. And just thinking of everyone like my both of my great-grandmothers, my uncle Damion, and lastly my cousin Poon. I missed them a lot and I was frustrated about it and it affected how I was playing. I went to school and got all my work done. We had practice after school and it was the same as yesterday and after that I knew it was going to be a long week. Then I got home and went to bed. On
Wednesday I woke up with the same feeling as the other two days of my week. I got ready and went to school. After school we had practice again and I was even worse. I was just so down and disappointed. The feeling was terrible and I hope no one has to go through it. My teammates were asking me what was wrong but I had no response. So afterwards I went home and took my shower and fell asleep.
On Thursday I had an even worse day. School was fine but me in general was just so off. I can’t even explain the feeling. So in practice I had an ok session but I still was down and off. Afterwards I did a lot of homework including math and science. Then I fell asleep.
On Friday I woke up and took my shower and was still a little worried about the situation because that made me even mad on the court and less patient. So I went to school and after school I had a bad practice again. This was not my week at all. Afterwards Coach Breeze asked me what’s wrong with me and why am I so moody. I answered I have no confidence and I’m not focused. I got to talk to my father and he told me to be confident because if you don’t have confidence you don’t have anything. He said that I have to patient and seeing that my dad would take to time and help me boosted my confidence quickly. Then later that night I played 2k all day and fell asleep on the phone.
The next day I was on the phone all morning. And I was playing 2k15. Then I went to the gym worked out for a while and did the exact same thing I was doing in the morning which was on the phone and playing 2k until I fell asleep.
The next day I thanked God for another day and I ate some breakfast and I got on the phone until we left. Then I headed to practice. Today I had A Fantastic practice. I did really well in the half court set and I played really hard and everyone saw the difference between Sunday and all of last week. My dad really helped my confidence. Then I went home, ate some food and spoke to my mother until I fell asleep. Then I woke up did my diary and then I talked to my dad and (Shoutout to my dad and Mother because they are in Hawaii I hope they turn up!) after that I talked to my boy Tyger Campbell, we were talking about how are season is going to go. Then I fell asleep.
See you next week.

Isaiah Briscoe At NBA Players Camp
A few days ago AAU dropped a bombshell on middle school basketball when they decided to eliminate grade exceptions from participating in their events. This historic decision has continued to cause debate around the country.
Basketball Spotlight would like to dig deeper and examine when this grade exception and reclassifying trend started to explode. For that we don’t have to look no further than highly touted high school senior guard Isaiah Briscoe who decided to reclassify his 8th grade year (2010-2011 season). His father George Briscoe felt the move was needed at the time, “After talking to many middle school scouts such as you, I felt that Isaiah needed to reclassify so his body could catch up to his game. Once he became more mature and worked hard he just took off” said George.

Which brings us to the point of matter and an interesting question. Would we be facing this AAU situation if Isaiah Briscoe had decided to go straight to high school?

Marquise Walker and Father
Wassup it's Marquise Walker with my weekly.
On Monday I woke up and got ready for school. It was really fun. It was Red Ribbon Week. So on Monday we got to wear our pajamas. I was really quiet in my classes. My day was really slow and we barely really did anything in class. After school we had practice and I did really well. We went over a lot of defenses. We ran a little bit also it wasn’t hard but it was good enough for a whole practice because we did a lot of live situations. Then we worked on some offensive sets. We are progressing in what we are doing in our offensive sets. Afterwards I went home and took a shower then played some 2k15 then went to sleep.
The next day I woke up really sleepy because of that workout from yesterday. I got ready and headed to school. Today it was ATHLETES VERSUS NERDS so you had to dress as a nerd or an athlete. Of course I chose the nerd. I am a student athlete not just an athlete so why not be a nerd. Surprisingly it was more nerds than athletes whom I thought was really good for me. We got called into the middle of our school for pictures. After school I went to practice it was really hard-working today. We did some defensive things then some individual skill drills. Then we did some full court workouts and I was scoring very well. Afterwards we did some running again. I went home then ate some food and fell asleep.
The next day I woke up and got ready and went to school. Today we had all red day, so you would wear how much red as you can. After school I went to practice was really good, we did more offense today than defense. We played a lot of up and down and we did some rebound drills. Then I went home and got on my phone took my shower and fell asleep.
On Thursday I woke up and went to school it was camouflage day. I didn’t have any camouflage clothes so I just put on some regular clothes. It was fun though. We finished some of our school work and everything. After school I went to practice and we worked on some more offence. We barely worked on defense. We had a lot fun and I threw a lot of good passes. I really enjoyed practice. Then I went home took my shower, ate and played some 2k. Later, I went to the football game which was fun before going home and getting some sleep.
On Friday I woke up and got ready for school and everyone had on their costume. Some was funny and some were scary while others were just plain crazy or silly. I came to school dressed regular. After school it was no practice so I got a ride back home and I played the game and went with my family to trick or treat. Then afterwards I went home and played some more 2k and fell asleep.
The next day I woke up and ate some breakfast, did some laundry and fell back asleep after watching my favorite movie ATL. Then I played 2k until 11:00 and then I watched the new Drumline. Then I fell asleep.
On Sunday I woke up and got some more sleep after eating breakfast. I played a little 2k and then I went to practice. We did a lot of work and a lot of defense and I got my team shoes. When I got home I did my push-ups and sit ups before finishing my diary and falling asleep............zzzz

Tyus Battle is one of the most sought after high school players in America. He has virtually every school in the country knocking on his door. Recently, the well-known Adam Zagoria of the SNY Network and Zagsblog.com paid him a visit and created this lovely documentary. The video details his recruiting process and how he’s handling everything. I think it is a well put together project and that he has a chance to become something special one day.

On Monday I woke from a good practice on Sunday. It was a great feeling. So I woke up and ate some breakfast and headed to school. School was fun. My first period is CSI and we talked about the railroad killer. He murdered 15 people in the U.S and Mexico. He was a really bad person. He was sentenced to death. After school I went over to practice and my boy Mike foot is hurt and my bro Brandon Stacker hurt his arm. So are two key players are not playing. Practice was really good we worked on some defenses and some up and down situations. I did really well on the fast breaks. After practice I went home and I finished my homework. After that I talked to my brother. I played 2K15 and took a bath and went to sleep.
The next day I woke up and thanked God for another day. Then I went to school and now in my first period we talked about The Barefoot Bandit. He stole cars; he robbed houses, and stole airplanes. Some people actually talked good about him and he outran the police force for two years. After school I went to practice and we went to the weight room. I did 100 pushups and 100 sit-ups. I also ran for a little bit. Then I went home finished my homework and went to bed.
On Wednesday I felt sick. I didn’t say anything about it though. At school my head was hurting a lot. I took aspirin and it didn’t work. After a sick school day I went to practice, and it was actually pretty good to be sick. I’m progressing with the team. I’m learning my personnel way better. After practice I went home and did my homework. Then I played 2k15 and fell asleep.
The next day I went to school and I had a very good day at school it was very fun. I went to practice and we did some running. Then we did some scrimmaging and I pushed the ball a lot. After that I went into the weight room. Then I went to the middle school basketball game. After that I went home ate some food, took a bath and went to sleep.
On Friday school was okay. It was just really boring. After school I went home because we had no practice. I played some 2k for like two hours and then I went to a Bonfire party. It was really fun. We had hot dogs and we talked by the fire and we ate some sweets. After the Bonfire I went home and played some more 2k until I fell asleep.
On Saturday I woke up and played some Call of Duty. And then I got ready to go to Coach Carlos’s son football game. While I was there I was hanging out with Ray, Jawuan, and Darius. The game was good but we loss by 3 it was a very good game. Afterwards we went to Dave & Busters and we hanged around for hours it was really fun. I got home around like 12:30 A.M. and I talked on the phone for a little while and fell asleep.
The next day I woke up later so I could get extra sleep in for practice. Then I went to practice and it was slow at first but then we picked it up and the starting 5 finished slow. So coach made us run and do defensive slides with the back of our hands touching the ground. If you messed up you had to do it over. Then I went home finished playing 2K15, Madden 25, did my diary and fell asleep.
See You Guys Next Week,
Marquise
