The July recruiting period is now over, which means the four-month sprint from late March until late July that constitutes "grassroots season" is also complete. Most of the talking points coming out of the month focus on which players boosted their stock or will rise in the rankings, but it’s also a great time to take final inventory of the best AAU teams in the country. Before the first live period began three weeks ago, we ranked the top 25, based about 50 percent on pure talent and 50 percent on spring results. With three more weeks of results in the books, and no more AAU games to be played for another eight months, it’s time to focus mostly on results. "Potential" is no longer a factor when assessing teams -- July was 'put up or shut up' time.
