Definitely agree here, and that also applies to high school coaches I deal with. Some are absolute lunatics. I've seen a coach instruct his players, the bench, and his other coaches to all yell profanities at our best player to try to "get in his head"... we were ahead by 28.

So true bad coaches on both side. Good coaches on both side. will say AAU plays too many games one thing I hate that we do.

4+ in a weekend is brutal. Are there any decent leagues that play less? I dont know of any

Live periods for my team in April was a game Friday night 2 Saturday 1 Sunday. Really liked that format.

July was another story had 10 games Wednesday- Sunday first week. 9 the next week.

I dk how it is out ur way but the high schools in Illinois play about 35 games in June. Kids legs are absolutely toast by July.
 
The kid looks unbelievable but the competition doesn't look incredible, although at that age those may be the best players to go up against.

Per another comment, the location to UConn and better competition, facilities, coaching etc would be a huge benefit to a kid like this that's just so far ahead of his age.

He’a a big priority. Coaches are all over him and I don’t mean his dream class schedule.

I can take baggy, shaggy, short shorts, knee covers, but if college goes to the style of uniform at about the one minute mark, I won't watch the game.

I like the kid’s game.
Chief Approves.
I am not certain why this thought crossed my mind, but in the 1970’s New Haven used to produce better basketball players than Boston. Granted the population is much smaller but the socio, economic and educational collapse of CT’s inner cities have pulled a lot of things down with them. A lot of things just don’t function well including basketball development.

Not only New Haven, but The Bridgeport area also. The 70's was stacked.

Hartford also with Shorty Davis, Ricky and Owen Mahorn and quite a few other well known HS players. CT was loaded early 70's especially.

Chief it was Drugs and gang violence not economic collapse that killed New Haven Basketball. I suspect Bridgeport was simalar. Warren Harding had produced a great number of stars in the 1970-1980’s
The Dixwell Ave courts were legendary. Waterbury kids like Tony Hanson and Jim Abromitis would drive down to play BB .
It was a school got BB
But when your afraid to get shot playing BB is a low priority.
My wife worked with a guy from New Haven ,that had his family sleep on the floor to avoid stray bullets.
The irony of the cocaine war of the 1990’s it made UConn or rather Storrs more attractive to City Kids than had previously been the case.

"Drugs and gang violence" and "economic collapse" are pretty related!

Agree - to me crime, drugs, failed schools, broken families and poverty all go in the same bucket.
 
Let's get this kid to Brewster and reclassed to 2020 by June. Could very well be the #1 player in his class

Yep why not play up? I mean these games don't do him any good quite honestly. No matter the kid is a monster for a 15 year old, wow they will all be flocking in to see him and offering him. Only shot is to get him to commit early (which won't stop the squid) as well as being the winning ways again for the program while he's studying in HS still.

Is this insider info or did you infer this from the fact that we offered him 3 weeks after leaving 8th grade? Classic Chief

LOL - I never label myself or my information - It is what it is, as is my track record.

We get it Chief. Glen Miller is no longer on the staff. Can you PLEASE stop going back to this every time you talk about a recruit? You've actually had some relevant things to say recently, but gotta stop with this scheduling crap. We get it, point made.....a thousand times.
