My question does concern them though - what is the outlook for Olsen/Pastner/UA? Are they still in the mix of things for recruiting in Houston/Texas?

What are the implications of that? What are the major declared Nike, Reebok, Adidas, uh, British Knights universities? What's in it for the AAU coach? Notoriety? Payments? Angling for staff positions using the kids? To dovetail with Sailor’s comments, my understanding is that Texas is a “shoe neutral” university, irrespective of the brand our players wear on the court.

What are the major declared Nike, Reebok, Adidas, uh, British Knights universities?

What’s in it for the AAU coach? Notoriety? Payments? Angling for staff positions using the kids?

The Sonny Vaccaro stuff. How a team becomes an Adidas team or a Nike team or what. By the way, I heard that James Gandolfini is going to play SV in an HBO movie about the ABCD camp stuff. <img src="http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/c/ca/250px-Mars_Blackmon.jpg" alt="" /> I’d like to know more about the shoe companies.
