Rankings are dumb. One month you’re this good, the next month you’re this bad, where u play HS and AAU helps these so called rankings people. They are not traveling around the country and seeing all these kids. If they say they are…they lying. They making money off eager parents

Dennis Marshall Everyone plays AAU now. It’s glorified rec ball. When I was in school the top 2-4 kids (depending on program) played and everyone else played another sport or did open gyms/skill training in the offseason.

Coach Candid Dennis Marshall I don’t know but there’s more AAU teams, circuits and tournaments than ever. Hell they got 2nd & 3rd graders playing which is a joke. Numbers of players is at an all time high but skill is at an all time low

Todd Wolfson 15u is generous of you. i've seen 16 year olds from the silver division crush my sons 14u bronze team and it's somehow allowed. and the parents still yell "and 1" at every single possession. AAU is a scam.

I am so sick and tired about hearing who is the top 6th, 7th, 8, and 9th graders are. Every time I hear that, I take notes. Are they that when they are juniors and seniors. THAT’S when ish gets real and you see who can REALLY play. We crowning kids too early. For no reason.

Congratulations to three of the WPIAL's finest, who have trusted the process of playing 4A/6A WPIAL basketball and committing to PSAC programs, which compete in one of the most challenging D2 conferences in the country. Best of luck & will be fun to watch you. WPIAL

AAU isn’t broken. The people involved and running things are what’s broken. Most don’t give a shit about kids. They about that bread. Plain and simple. Let’s call it what it is.

Hoop Herald … too many moms & dads who probably weren’t even all-district in their illustrious high school careers think little Johnny or Susie are destined for pro ball. Get a clue. Spend 1/100th of such energy on your kids’ academics. You might be surprised where it gets them.

Hoop Herald This is such bullshit. And for what.? These are meaningless games. College coaches don’t even recruit high schoolers anymore for the most part, and most in the majority of the games aren’t college material. I’m glad I’m out of this loop and don’t have to watch anymore

Dennis Marshall I don’t totally disagree with this statement. As parents we have to let our kids be coached and allow them to work through their struggles without us. Not saying I will always sit out live period, but when present we need to stay mindful. Finn tunes me out anyway😂 Just cheer👏🏻

Dennis Marshall Coaching kids from the stands is absurdly stupid and embarrassing. They hate/ resent it. The question a parent always has to ask is… “is this about me or them ?” There is only one correct answer and one way to behave

Dennis Marshall Yea like all the issues with grassroots are because of parents and not the directors and coaches who stay being shady figures. With all the greed and lies happening at these events if you remove the parents it would be even worse. The grassroots setup is a hot mess now.

Most parents just care about games. They could care less how much their kid needs to work on their game. They don’t look at their kid in these games and say “this is probably not something we should be doing as much” Some things are just common sense.
