Regarding the AAU season which is fast approaching Tutu verified reports of him participating with Toronto, Ontario based, Under Armour sponsored, Canada Elite. Tutu was being courted by Chicago’s Meanstreets and The Family from Detroit. CIA Bounce the Nike flagship program from Toronto, who do have a plethora of point guards in their ranks never reached out.

“I would have liked to play at CIA Bounce but they never contacted me. I wanted to play for a Canadian team so I will play with Canada Elite this summer. I chose them because of the coaching staff. I’ve known a coach there since third grade. I also wanted to play with them because I feel I can play, lead and win with them. I hope we can attract coaches in the gym to watch us. With Canada Elite hopefully we can become one of Canada’s great AAU programs.” Tutu said.

Reportedly set to join him at Canada Elite is Mr. Toronto Basketball for 2013-14 Chase Vassell who scored 25+ points or more in 17 games this season playing for Pine Ridge in Toronto.

What does his high school coach La Lumiere head Alan Huss think about his AAU decision for Tutu’s last hurrah,

“It was important he found a fit that’s comfortable for him. He had lots of options if he wanted to playing the EYBL he could have. He did last season with the Family in Detroit close to home. Its critical he has a strong showing this spring and he continues to build on a solid high school season” Coach Huss told Hoops Hype Canada.

“Munis maybe undersized at his position and because of that people like to see what he cant do. He’ll continue to prove himself this spring. Once one or two high level programs offer him I think a lot more stuff will pour in. He has some great programs on his list now, I don’t think he’s overly concerned with it. I know he’s going to be smart and pick a right fit. Just want him to get better and he’s going to be just fine.” Coach Huss said about his recruitment.

DICKS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE

An under-the-radar point guard in the class of 2015, Munis Tutu is about to breakout in a big way. He’s a gifted passer in the half-court set, showing impeccable vision, and the ability to create high percentage looks for his teammates. He operates the pick & roll to perfection, displaying poise and composure, and consistently found an open teammate on the kick-out. Defensively, Tutu uses his lateral quickness to lockdown on the perimeter, and he did a good job of guarding Gonzaga signee Josh Perkins at the Dicks National High School Tournament, preventing Perkins from turning the corner, and forcing him to take contested looks from beyond the arc. Tutu’s height will always be the biggest detriment to his value as a prospect, but with his awareness, versatility and ability to lead an offense, he has earned his spot among the Top 150 players in his class.

That’s the type of dymanic player Munis Tutu is. Keep tabs on this recruitment. Its about to sizzle up for Tutu as the focal point on Canada Elite.
