Reading a great book about the AAU scene called "Play Their Hearts Out", which follows the best 12 year old team in the country.  Guess who the starting point guard is on this team?  Our own Pe'Shon Howard.  And one of his top competitors?  Kendall Marshall of Team Maryland.  A senior SI writer follows this team for a year, and it gives a great look at how screwed up the grassroots basketball world is.  Makes you realize how some of these kids can be so difficult to deal with.  Worth a read.
