Dear AAU Parents, Please take a little advice from a parent who has been around AAU basketball as a Coach & parent for 20+ years. Stop chasing imaginary rankings from paid services like PGH and cool social media posts from programs that over hype players on socials because that is all they can offer. Don't get caught up with trainers who are only worried about your children when they are in their gym. Ask real questions of program directors about approach on player development, college relationships and track record of getting players to college programs. Ask directors about recruiting plans for their players. Pay attention to programs that retain players and are not out recruiting over entire rosters year over year. Track record & trust between families & programs matters; especially in a rapidly changing recruiting landscape, you better be with a program that is committed to all their players and not just a few high profile girls. The top of EVERY circuit has really good players/teams but the bottom of EVERY circuit has bad teams too. Being on an EYBL or 3SSB team, and playing 6-8 mpg can really hurt your recruitment. Not every program is a fit for every player/family but PLEASE do your homework!! Have honest discussions about potential level of play in college and where your child might fit. Be very weary of anyone who only talks about D1. Winning games in AAU is nice and hopefully your daughter is competitive and wants to win but it ultimately doesn't mean anything and not many college coaches are paying attention to the score unless one team is getting smoked. In fact, a coach might pay more attention to how your daughter is acting as a player when they are losing vs how they are playing in a 25pt win. Good luck to all as the girls get prepared for the High School season. @nj_panthers @CoachJordanNJP @unitedNJaau @ShoreshotsGirls @newjerseyrise @ESBC_BlueFlames @NJLadiesHoops @TinyGreenNBS @coachschoiceusa

Jazz’s head clearly not in the right place after a brutal defensive 1st inning. Not even wearing his correct helmet at the plate… sporting Grisham’s #12 helmet. Just brutal #ALDS

One of the greatest traditions in college football, the "Hawkeye Wave" 💛 Iowa and Ohio State fans, players, and coaches turn to wave at patients in the UI Stead Family Children's Hospital after the first quarter 👋

Great division win tonight vs a strong Marlboro side! #KeepGrinding Goals: A. Cordoma (1) P. Kulka (1) Assists: G. Lober (1) M. Miller (1)

We are excited to announce the group of High School Programs committed to our One Day Shootout on Sunday, October 4th! #RangerUp 🐻🏀

Let’s go Sofia 💪🏻💪🏻

A good box-out doesn’t always move someone away from the rim. Because the real goal isn’t to perform a textbook box-out. It’s to change their access to the rebound. New article redefining boxing out: lockdowndefense.substack.com…

Prayers for Steve Pikiell. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Idk who needs to hear this, but it’s okay to go D3. It’s high-level basketball. Go see for yourself.

Game one was an incredible game tonight! Midd North with an exciting wild play to get a 46-45 win over Freehold Township! Our game MVP was Cali Unkel who made big play after big play for the Lions! She ended up with three ‘3’s and 13 total points - plus she started the game winning play by hitting Hope Yetman who found a cutting Mia Asera for the win! Great game by both teams! @MiddNorthNHS @CaliUnkel2028 @FTHSgirlsbball @NJLadiesHoops @TinyGreenNBS @nlowe11 @dbrust1030 @mjfranco02 @KevinPerrington @APPSportsDesk @JSSInsider @HSSportsNJ

Greg Tufaro left us too soon, but his remarkable impact will last. On the life and legacy of a mentor (of mine, and many others) who helped thousands of kids: mycentraljersey.com/story/ne… via @MyCentralJersey

They don't make men much better than Greg. A great guy, with a tremendous heart and an eagerness to help people. Anyone who knew him was certainly better off because of it. Our hearts are with Cyndi and the rest of Greg's family.

In our final game we had another good one, Midd North beat Marlboro 46-34 in a well played game! Kaelyn Gibson was Player of the Game for Midd North orchestrating a fast and balanced attack formation the Lions! Fantastic game Kaelyn! @Kaelyngibson27 @MiddNorthNHS @NJLadiesHoops @TinyGreenNBS @nlowe11 @dbrust1030 @KevinPerrington @APPSportsDesk @JSSInsider @HSSportsNJ

1. One of the first came from my high school coach, Jared Goldstein. I was always worried about getting better players into the program, convincing kids to come out for basketball instead of another sport. He'd always say, "Dance with the girls at the party." It was his way of saying, stop wishing for a different team. Coach the one you have. I've carried that with me ever since.
