Quote:College basketball has changed quite a bit in the last 20 years. Mainly due to AAU. It used to be that college basketball players were strictly high school coached, mostly recruited locally and earned their chops on the collegiate hardwood for four years at a chance to be drafted with an education to boot. Now with the growth of the AAU, colleges serve little more than developmental leagues or holding areas for the NBA. The hungry ambitious kid working for a future through college has been replaced by highly coached and scouted NBA talent with an air of entitlement and full expectations of wealth, endorsements, and entourages.


It's not fun anymore.
 

I feel like you'll still find that player, but it won't be at any of the "big schools". If you watch the mid-majors, I feel like you'll see both the type of player and the play that you are describing.
I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
