Migrating the PrepBasketball site over to https://t.co/8j6fqiB14f and making a few updates as well.
I had delusions I could build a national site to compete with PH but then realized Utah is a super unique state to recruit and it should have it's own dedicated site!
Today, I saw an AAU Club post celebrating their player picking up a D2 offer (which they should celebrate!)
They added, "Shot 52% from 3 in UA" to the post
So I quickly looked it up since Under Armour posts statistics
The player shot 44% from 3 on the UA Rise 17u
Which is still really good, but...why randomly just post numbers that are easily fact checked?
The amount of college coaches I've spoken with who do not talk with AAU/Club coaches at all is really high and posts like those don't help
No need to overinflate an already good number
Should I care? No. No I shouldn't. Why do I? No idea...
@EN4CRMB For sure which also has a “fox guarding the hen house” potential. For all the money pouring into these circuits and all the AI tools it’s crazy to me they can’t get this right
@JamesCrayy I’m sure the kid is an absolute sniper and deserving of everything he has coming his way!
Maybe a quick parenthesis (shows 44% on UA Rise site) would have cleared up confusion 🤷🏼♂️
Best of luck to yall and him!
Definitely not going to wade into this debate too far.
The talent level is spread out with so many circuits and there are good players on the Rise, NXTPro, Gold, EYCL there’s also just a ton of teams so it’s harder to evaluate
But general rule is if you have to buy your own shoes and gear, you’re not on a sponsored “shoe circuit”. Doesn’t mean there’s not good hoops though!
@Clownrefs_ That’s solid. One time I watched an AAU game and a player was really bad. Saw the dad tell the videographer something and then a highlight post with wildly inflated stats! I suspect that happens more often than not
Is there a better region in all of Utah in the 2026-27 season? I don't think so!
Here's the article previewing region 3 in 6A:

I'll also add, drop them off at practice and leave
Learning from another adult without parental intervention will be an amazingly beneficial life skill
Anxious kids don’t need more reassurance. They need repeated practice at doing hard things without a parent hovering. One concrete start: let a 9-year-old walk to the corner store alone while you stay home. Sit with your own discomfort. That’s the treatment.
Bad coaches and trainers prey on parents and players who overestimate their ability. They sell them exactly what they want to hear: “Your coach just doesn’t see how talented you are. Keep coming to me - I’ll get you to college.”
Good coaches tell you the truth. Bad ones sell you a dream.
