I feel the same way. AAU ball was on my wishlist.

As a career guy I felt like we really needed a way to see recruits we have a shot at in action. This takes away from the guessing game and will aid us in finding those diamonds in the rough that don't have the bluechip ratings but can get the job done.

yeah especially if u are like us who likes to start out a closed legacy and know we can't go after 4 or 5 stars the first couple of years. make sure that 2 or 3 star player can be a force now before coming to our team.

lol I'm loving this because when I put teams together in Choops I always Look at what a player can do best I get 2 or 3 star players sometimes 1 star and take there individual talents and make em great for example

PG I get a playmaking quick guard.
SG: a Nice 3 Point Shooter with great range or Medium Shooting Range.
SF: a Slashing SF gets in the lane and draws fouls or makes highlight reel plays.
PF: that can dominate on the Offence and can get a decent amount of Rebounds.
C: Has to be over 7"0 Just uses him for Boards and Blocks and scare factor but if they are great on the offence beware...

Exactly! That's why I loved the high school games in 2k4 so much. I could tell what type of role a recruit could have on my team by getting to see them in action.

I could go on all day but you get the point.

I interested in seeing what they do with the international and JUCO players.

I feel you. I think we all have a idea of how we want our team to look and play. Why recruit players that can't play the style of ball you like playing? AAU ball will cut down on that and help you tightened your target list to players that can play your style of ball.
