The Atlanta Gauntlet series is on going and we will have more to come on the players that Coach Gottfried is watching. I am sure Dennis Smith will bounce back from a sub-par showing this afternoon in which his team lost to the New York Rens featuring Rawle Alkins. Another thing to remember is that the schedule and timing of these events do not always cater to great basketball. Most of the elite prospects are traveling all over the country to select camps and tournaments, which puts them in a tough spot to perform well each game out.

Check back as we will have more updates to follow.
