[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baloney. Parents hope you don’t have your child keep
working. Talk to the coach and then get back on AAU and attend clinics and tell him to try again. [b]Michael Jordan didn’t make basketball right away in hs [/b]and he is the GOAT.[/quote]

Not quite.  He didn't make varsity as a sophomore, specifically because his (young, inexperienced) coach was looking for height.[/quote]

Was going to say this. He was only 5’10 at the time and still made the JV team that year. Not the best example. OP, he needs to play high level AAU to have a shot and the sad reality is, he’s not going to make a high level AAU team as they’ve already been established since kids were 12. They make room for elite level players that are leaving their current high level AAU team or for a kid that is 6’6 that can be coached to high level. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but chances are pretty low. It will also come down to the level of talent the varsity team will have that year. Don’t give up bball all together. Have him play Rec and low level AAU still for sure. Just temper expectations.[/quote]
