Live @ The Super 80 with Austin Nichols- 2013 Briarcrest Christian

The last time PM Hoops talked to Austin Nichols it was during the 2010-11 basketball season. At the time Nichols was averaging about 15 point and 12 rebounds near the end of his sophmore year and had two offers from colleges hoping to land the talented big man. What's changed since then? A lot! Nichols took advantage of playing along side 2012 Nationally ranked stud big man Jarnell Stokes during the Summer and for lack of a better term,"He Blew Up!" Nichols turned heads during the Nike EYBL. Most importantly, he was able to catch the attention of some major college coaches. Nichols took what was two offers for college scharlorships and turned them into fourteen. Now all eyes will be on the 6'8" big man from Briarcrest Christian.

Danielle Ballard is one of the most breathtaking talents to come out of the Memphis girls' prep scene in the past decade or so. Ballard, ranked #24 in the nation by hoopgurlz.com, teamed with Aaliyah Whiteside (Georgia Tech commit, #21 on hoopgurlz.com) to lead Central to a Tennessee AAA state title last fall. She was invited to the Team USA 16-under trials during the summer of 2010. After an intense recruiting battle, Ballard selected LSU over Auburn, Ole Miss, Duke, Rutgers, and UCLA. The lefty dynamo is expected to play both the point and shooting guard for coach Nikki Caldwell and the Bayou Bengals.

This Summer, the Warriors found out that they were losing Nationally ranked senior forward Jarnell Stokes and last years starting point guard, Blake Johnson, both to transfer. The thing about basketball is that someone must always step up. Tim Shaw, 2013 Point Guard, is poised and ready to do so. The 6'1" lightning quick Shaw will be one of the best scorers on the Warriors roster for 2011-12. PM Hoops caught up with Shaw at the Super 80 Fall Basketball League.
