- In AAU, relationships get college coaches out to games and then kids have to perform. If your organization has no ties to coaches to get them to watch or you’re playing events that don’t get coaches, you’re going to struggle to get recruited. AAU 🏀 is all about relationships!
- Unpopular opinion alert. Kentucky would get better minutes out of Travis Perry than they get out of Kerr Kriisa.

- Kentucky high school basketball followers have to love this WKU team. Made up of Kentucky kids who play their butts off and outwork the opposition.
- It’s incredibly frustrating to see neighboring states having summer basketball and full open gyms or camps while Kentucky doesn’t have anything going on. We need to get kids back in the gym.
