Why Europeans Are Flooding NCAA 

Those vlog channels legit are a great promotion

NIL and making millions with girls throwing themselves at you.

Easier than Europe? In what way lmaooooooooooooooooo. You Europeans are so entitled with everything. Nothing suggests European university is any harder. God no wonder that continent is fucked.

Yeah, I went to College 2017-2021 and the athletes here are treated like gods. You get extremely easy access to college girls as well.

@@alexanderschmidt7979 in what exact way is school harder in Europe? Just curious.

good to know there are still fans with some critical thinking

Education is a great backup considering only a tiny fraction of players can go pro

Ways around this. If u have a family member/friend back home who can post ads on your instagram page you are safe. During winter break, u can travel back home and shoot commercials and sign deals

Dunno, super safe area. Probably a much easier transition for someone to transition to American life from a smaller EU country.

BYU has a very strong athletics department, and Utah is one of the nicest places to live on the planet if you're not into nightlife. 🤷 Strong economy, super safe, gorgeous environment, etc etc...

Way more money would to be made in Europe? What? Young European players are now getting starter Euroleague money in NCAA.

@@jdam6017 Name 3 European players doing that. & Euroleague starter money from which club? Crvena Zvezda?

American basketball sucks. That's why they're absolutely slaughtering everyone in the U17 tournament

@@lordjael Sure.Kerr Krissa made 750k in Arizona his salary in Europe was 80k. Krivas 400k. Demin 1 million. Jakucionis 750k, Can you tell me European 17-18 yo prospects in Europe who are earning that kind of money? Jokubaitis who was the rising star award winner in Barcelona earned 250k a year.

And yet our under 17 USA team is winning by a average of 43 points a again and are 63- 0.

Aau is only for recruiting really and most of the time it’s unorganized and the team ain’t really a team. I’d say the only good teams are the circuit teams like eybl and 3ssb and those teams are hard to get on.

@@Mzn_is_ Aau is just basketball. It's nothing wrong with playing basketball in the off-season. Kids are just having fun and getting more offers than they would if they didn't play aau.

@@iamdebaby8152 the problem is the glorification of the individualized play in it and the ego that inevitably comes with the "exposure" for a vast majority of kids. Lack of practice time and short-sighted strategies (play zone to conserve energy for the weekend and win more games vs learning to keep the ball in front, talk, and rotate in a man-to-man because it takes time to teach) hinder these kids' development and allow them to think that all this "exposure" they're getting means they're gods gift to earth and they dont need to improve. If AAU is "just basketball", then them kids should just go get a group of friends from their area and play pickup regularly without coaches, without making their parents pay $$$ and travel every weekend and without the work overload of like 4 full games in a weekend with shitty refs letting kids commit warfare on the court to each other with no call (and now its a brawl bout to happen every other game). The youth system in America needs a whole overhaul forreal because yea AAU ends up just being glorified pickup for 90% of the kids' experience in the country. There are certainly good coaches and programs doing it the right way, but its waaaaaaaaaaay too over-saturated with bad basketball players and coaches that aint really helping them. For all that, like I said just go grab a group of friends and play some pickup and you'll get damn near the same experience (I'd argue an even better experience because there's no pressure).

Its just a broken system, you pointing out 9 kids (that probably could've made it to the league without AAU) out of several million doesnt mean AAU is "not that bad". Theres legit millions of kids that are having an overall bad experience because of what the system has created. Theres: • too many AAU programs • too many coaches that dont know how to teach the game or develop players • too many GAMES in a short amount of time thats not healthy for the kids • too little practice time to properly teach team tactics AND develop kids' individual games (yes this part should be on the individuals themselves but you know how kids are) • too much money being paid by these parents that makes them feel entitled to XYZ. With that, every chance they get they're talking shit about the coaches, refs, their kids' teammates, etc. just bc they're angry they're paying this much money for a subpar experience • too many refs off the street just going thru the motions and dont know the rules or how to keep a game in check in terms of hostility. Now everyone in the gym is getting angrier and the quality of play deteriorates as well as creates unsafe environments. Some of it is not just about AAU basketball, but reflects our American culture as a whole so thats another deeper issue. AAU in the 90's used to be for the elite of the elite; there were maybe 2-3 programs in the state and you had to be one of the best players in your area to get the privilege of being INVITED to play for one. Now theres kids that get cut from their HS team or play JV and they can run to a team called "BrickThrowers ELITE" with a fancy uniform design right around the corner selling them dreams of "exposure" and nobody calls this shit out. Do away with the whole system and start from scratch.

but he didn't go to college remember
