2013-14 top 12u teams?

[fireball101]

I know it's early and nobody has played anybody yet, but lets start the conversation based on returning 12u teams and those new teams coming into the 12u game. Who are some of the best returning teams and who are those '02's that we should have on our radar?

Up and coming 12U I would like to say Gators, they lost a good portion of kids though.
Indy Crush/Red Alert merge
Hoosier Crush
Dreams, Montgomery I hear there are two 12Us reffering to the younger
Prospects/Explosion merge
Zephyrs
Edge
Shockwaves ??? if they added a player or two
I know there are more that I am leaving out
My two pennies

[Here we Go!]

It was Red Storm who merged with Crush. Teams to look out for in no order
Edge 01
Gators02 Linton
Zephyrs
Crush 02
Edge 02
Hoosier Crush
Shockwaves Davis

Interested to see what the Indiana Bombers look like. Did they get all there players back from 2 years ago? This is Indy area only teams, I don't know much about teams from NWI.

Looks like some solid 02 teams from last year getting respect in 12u. From what I saw last year, these all seem to be the best central Indy teams. From what I've heard, Indy Crush-Perry will be one of the hottest young teams. Zephyrs returning from a strong finish at the end of their season have pick-up a few quality players, can never count Gators out, Edge were a great team that I believe retained most of their players, and Hoosier crush will be good if they can just find another pitcher to go with their #1. Have seen prospects are still trying to finalize their team.
Anyone have a take on returning 12u teams?

01 teams to watch out for. Forgive me if Ive forgot a few. Welcome to 12u 2002 parents. I will be surprised if more than 2 (if that) of your 02's crack the concensus top 10. Very good 02 teams but there will be lumps to take

Shockwaves - Davis
Indy Edge 01
Indy Dreams 01
NWI Sox
Indiana Magic
Mafia Black 01
Indy Crush 01
Red Alert 01
Indiana Gators Heim
CP Bulldogs - Manhatton (if still together)

Mike Manhatton's Bulldogs are alive and well!

[sftballguru]

Edge 01, Mafia 01, Dreams 01 should all be strong. How about the new Beverly Bandits team out of NWI?

[Turnandlook]

I knew I forgot one... Diamond Chix 01 will be good as well

[Catfanblue7]

Results from Kokomo...
Edge 01 (2-1 in if game)
Dreams 01
Magic 01

Dreams and Edge battled back and forth all weekend, splitting 4 games including pool play.

Edge 01 look really strong! Seems like there are a number of teams calling themselves 02 teams but have 3 or more 01 players! Is this because it sounds better when they lose? Seems disrespectful to the 01 kids and parents!
