The list of topics are actually things Marcus wanted to address so coach Collins gets to kind of sit back and have a fun discussion about the state of AAU today. A big focus of the show is on the kids that were great in 7th and 8th grade but have since not made any significant impact now being in high school, the "Middle School Hype" as it is known.
