Playing high school basketball means nothing this day and time. Kids could play aau and never play high school and get recruited to play college basketball. So sad but true. Most good aau players won't be good college players because aau teaches kids to be selfish and not play to win

Have to disagree with the last sentence. I would be inclined to believe the majority of women's college basketball players playing at a high level, played aau basketball at some point. The women's game is more exciting and athletic than it's ever been. I think that can be contributed to kids having an opportunity to not only play against the best players in their area but also the best players all over the nation....

And I'm not a fan of aau ball but it's hard to deny it's influence in taking the game to a new level for women's basketball...
