Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
Hate to say it, but coaches have become lazy in this technology driven age. They want to be spoon fed a short list of potential players that they should take a look at.
In many ways, the people who have been left the farthest behind by the social media revolution are coaches. Clearly coaches are not doing a lot of "old school" recruiting (going to games, visiting player at schools, etc) and most are not utilizing social media and the internet in an effective way. Sooooooo...In step these "third parties" that are in the gyms and at or even sponsoring AAU tourneys watching players and doing "evaluations" which they provide...for a fee...to selected programs. I read one of the on-line flyers for a NY2LASPORTS AAU tourney that mentioned that "coaches" could get a "player profile/evaluation package" for $175.
