I know this is a popular topic and sorry if its been repeated. But there will inevitably be a change in how rankings and tournaments/games are done soon. At this point it is getting ridiculous. If I had to put a figure on it I would say that about 90% of the “best player” are all over a year older than what they should be, and the others are potential NBA players. This is even starting at 8u. The old rule of 3 exemptions players was better but even that is not ideal.
If people want to stay back in high school fine but don’t allow them to play AAU or EYBL or elite camps, etc with a lower age group. People who will be 17 in October shouldn’t be allowed to play 15u it is just pathetic and is taking away from basketball. It mitigates the true talent and takes away praise and awe from those who really deserve it.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
