Message: [QUOTE="HuskyFan1125, post: 4293067, member: 446"] I can answer that actually. Kids are being recruited over by the transfer portal. Keep in mind we are not necessarily talking about top shelf talent, but they are by no means immune. AAU coaches work with these kids and help them get exposure. They get scholarship offers and in the women's game they seem to take the highest offer not always the best fit (which we have heard lately). Then as incoming freshman they are battling upper classmen and learning the ropes and finding their way. Then in comes a transfer that leaps frogs them and they are relegated to another year on the pine. It's an added pressure. To circle back around to the AAU aspect these coaches have tight relationships with the kids being recruited and look out for them much like a parent. If an AAU coach loses respect for a college coach due to being recruited over its naive to think they are not in their players ear. [/QUOTE]
