The Tulsa Bulldogs AAU club established themselves as one of the top15-under AAU teams last summer, winning the Tournament of Champions and finishing near the top in the AAU Nationals. Perhaps the Bulldogs best all around player, Chase Elliott, a 6-foot-2, 165-pound combo guard, is getting the ball in the basket for his Bristow (Okla.) High School team.

"Chase is tearing it up," said Tulsa Bulldogs' head coach Terrell Thompson. "He is leading scorer in the state in Class 4A. He's averaging right around 24 points."

An extremely versatile player with solid athleticism and a solid skill set, Elliott played up to four positions for the Bulldogs during the summer. Also a physical player, Elliott has a penchant for getting into the lane with the ball as a do everything player for the Bulldogs. On his high school team, he primarily plays the point guard position.

Elliott is hearing from a number of schools, but Illinois, Texas and VCU are expressing the strongest interest right now.

"I asked him about schools the other day, and he said it's still primarily Illinois and the same other schools as before," said Thompson.

Elliott and his AAU teammates, which include point guard Ronald Shaw and shooting guard Nick Sidorakis will hit the national circuit the third weekend of April either at the Pump N Run adidas event in Las Vegas or at the Real Deal on the Hill in Fayetteville, Ark.
