[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is winter off season for basketball?[/quote]
AAU is spring/summer [/quote]

And “AAU” is not the end all/be all. High school and college basketball play in the winter. Basketball is traditionally a winter sport. [/quote]

It depends on the player and the team. A top AAU team is higher level than a good high school team, a top high school team is probably as high as a top AAU team. [/quote]

I actually had a conversation with a college coach about what they value.  My kid was in a great situation on his AAU. Team, but playing behind 5 kids who ended up on power 5 D1 teams for his high school team, so he didn’t get playing time.  The college coach said he wouldn’t look at a kid who didn’t play for his high school team.  Basketball is not like other sports in this way.  [/quote]

Your kid played behind D1 recruits, so obviously the high school program was very good. DeMatha is going to me more heavily recruited compared to just about any club team. On the other hand, a kid playing Nike or Under Armour sponsored team competing in national showcase tournaments will get a lot more exposure from that than playing for a run of the mill FCPS high school.
