Most big time D1 commits have been seen way before their senior year of high school and most likely on the AAU or travel circuit. However, that does not mean they get Offers!!!!!!! Most do not get offers and The best players will get them early, but the rest of players are going to have to sell themselves to colleges.

The second a kid gets an offer all of the AAU coaches try to claim on their respective websites that they made the kid and got them a full scholarship. Heck there is a girl right now that played for Team Shively, Kentucky Premier, and Louisville Legends and Butler High School. And each one claims that they got her the scholarship. The problem comes to an old quote, "We can all be successful, if we do not care who gets the credit"

I just feel there is this jealousy on both sides of the fence--- The AAU coach wants the prestige and media coverage that the high school teams get, and the High School coaches wants to be able to assemble the best players they can get for their high school team like the AAU coaches are able to do, and also feel like they get more respect than what AAU coaches want to give them.

My main problem is when AAU coaches jump to high schools with their recruited AAU team and destroy "true high school" teams, (Players that were going to be at that school anyways and not be enticed to come there). Talking about getting your cake and eating it too.
