“I started to coach AAU because I love the game of basketball and wanted to help develop kids,” said Ned. “And have a chance to make a difference in these kids’ life on and off the court.”
As the program director of Texas Takeover Elite, Ned chose to have his teams compete in the Grind Region of the Prep Hoops Circuit. With the single goal of getting each and every one of his 2020 guys college interest.
“Our mission is to get all pf our 17U kids college interest from D1, D2, D3, and NAIA schools, and the most exposure possible from state to state on a large platform,” said Ned.
Among the guys to keep a close eye on from the Texas squads are Roland McDougal lll, a class of 2020 guard, “He’s definitely a kid you need to keep your eyes on, he can score on all three levels. A 6’5 guard who can defend, long and very athletic,” said Ned.
Another standout from the 2020 class will be smooth 6’5 guard Davon Wright.
Among the 2021 standouts will be Latrell Moore, “A kid with a high motor, he’s very athletic and one of our most highly ranked kids. And a dawg on-the-ball defender,” said Ned.
Additional Takeover Elite guys to keep an eye on from 2021 will be sharpshooter Jake Arnold, and savvy point guard Jayden Chesney. Newcomer “Mo” Dubern Muoneke is a 6’5 guard from the Class of 2022, and will make a big splash this summer with the 15U squad.
You can find Texas Takeover Elite in the Grind Region of the Prep Hoops Circuit; where the guys will eagerly await exposure and tough competition.
“We choose the Prep Hoops Circuit because we wanted the most exposure for my kids and I heard this event would have a lot of college coaches,” said Ned. “And to get competition so we knew this would be a perfect fit”
