Starting this weekend, college coaches will be out in full force across the country -- Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas and elsewhere. All for recruiting. AAU might have officially gotten underway earlier this month, but it really kicks off over the next two weeks. Why? College coaches are allowed to go on the road and evaluate for the next two weekends and then have to take a break until July.
To make it easier to navigate the AAU scene for the spring and summer, we’ve compiled a list of events to watch.
