If you were able to give advice to Nancy, would you recommend she play AAU ball this summer or stay home and work on weights and basketball skills?

That kind of depends on what kind of AAU team she plays on. Some AAU teams work on skills and other's don't. If she plays on one where the 'coach' just rolls the ball out there and says go for it, she might benefit more from working on S&C and basketball skills. Every team we play when she's a freshman is going to try to get her into foul trouble. If she does nothing more than learn to keep her hands up straight above her head, it will be a big plus.
 
Mulkey should play this summer.. Nothing better then going up against the best to get ready for College... I'm sure she'll pit on weight soon enough, but I think having a 6'9 jump shooting post will be hard to guard...

What I like about Mulkey is you can tell she's just out there having fun and playing the game the way she knows how, you don't see her post up much because she can be moved easily... 2 years from now her trying to post up Kalani Brown (Baylor) might not work that well, but Mulkey taking free throw jumpers would make Brown have to step away from the basket, something most post players don't like to do.
 
These aren't mutually exclusive...I would bet she will be doing both.
