AAU basketball is used for a recruiting tool and I think it's awful. These coaches call these kids and ask them to come play with them during the summer traveling time and then talk them into coming and playing for them the next season. This is not right at all. Have already heard 3 schools talking to some of the good 8th graders here in the 14th region, trying to get them to come and play for them. Hazard already has gotten one of Knott's 8th graders practicing with them and I'm sure their are more doing the same thing. AAU is horrible. Just teaches bad habits and allows coaches to recruit.

So how is this related to AAU? Just because kids are switching schools doesn't mean AAU is to blame. Of the kids you speak of are all involved with an AAU team?
