The AAU Super Showcase and AAU Nationals at the ESPN Wide World of Sports near Orlando, Florida displayed a plethora of talented players in each and every class. I spent eight days of the second session of the July Live Evaluation Period in Orlando for the events and had a chance to not only watch hundreds of players, but also interview a multitude of prospects.

Since I spoke with so many players while in Orlando, I am breaking my school list coverage down into multiple articles. There will be a number of posts with school lists and recruiting updates I collected from players out in Orlando. I talked with players in the class of 2013, 2012, and 2011.

This second installment of my Orlando School Lists features some of the players in the class of 2013 that I had the chance to catch up with.Take a look at the lists.
