United expected to re-sign Barlow, Pledger

Can’t see Barlow leaving Melbourne city area as he has a very young family and with Wesley at SEM that card fell United way. They still looking a bit old and with Smith-Milner and Moller looking for more court time they will be relying on there imports big time.

Depends on the money. If you could fit those guys into the bench-cap (however much that may be next season)then they are great signings. Pledge is great coming off the bench.
Barlowe had a great season although faded a little as expected.

Really depends on hw they plan to se them, and whether they plan to re-sign Boone, and/or how they see Jois and/or Smith-Milner coming on next season.

Pledge was a great backup for Boone, but they can't play together, which left them (sans Wesley) very thin at the 4.

If their plan is to sign an athletic 4/5 as their import, then this would be a good front-court.

Solid low maintenance guys Pledger seemed like a whipping boy from what I heard in the stands last season, Barlow still produces that might start to fade (but every year I say that and it doesn't) You need a guy like him around.

No fluff signings that every roster needs to have

Just thought I would open up a discussion on what Pathways are around and people's opinions.

There is the typical starting point of Junior Rep

Then you have;

- ITP
- State Teams
- National Squads
- AIS

Now looking at external avenues;

- USA Tours
- High School Sports Academy
- Private School Scholarship
- Private Individual Coaching
- Australian College of Basketball
- Andrew Bogut Basketball Academy
- Other similar setups in various states.

What are peoples thoughts on these?

What is proving to be worthwhile?
What is proving to be all smoke and mirrors?

Seems like these days there are alot of options, with different kinds of promises and objectives being made.

Would love to hear people's feedback that have been involved with each of these pathways.
