For most of the players at the Southern Invitational in Charlottesville, VA, this AAU tournament was a chance to get their names out there in front of recruiters from some of the top schools on the East coast. It is what makes AAU basketball so unique; the goal is not as much about the success of the team as it is about getting the players to the next level.
Virginia Tech commitments Erick Green , however, had no such worries. Having already made the decision to attend VT months earlier -- Boggs on October 28 and Green on January 25 -- the Southern Invitational was merely another chance to ball.
