The way I see it, AAU basketball programs are basically a business. They recruit the best talent they can to create the most competitive team they can. If successful, the team gets invites to high level tournaments and the players get maximum exposure to college recruiters.
Therefore, to build their businesses is it not in the AAU programs best interest to encourage players to go to good college basketball programs all around the country as a selling point for their AAU program? Is that a sexier discussion with potential players that their AAU programs has recruiting connections all over the country rather than just the local University?
I wonder if that self-promotional aspect and the competition between AAU programs for players is hindering Minnesota’s recruiting locally.
Be curious on people’s thoughts on this business aspect.
