Shifting Gears
As the summer basketball scene officially exits stage left after this weekend, August now becomes the month when recruiting and commitments start really amping up as the dust settles from the 4 month journey most prospects started on in late March/early April.
It’s a talking point I always emphasize on our end of summer GASOCast, but August has always been the month that separates the pretenders from those who are bound for greatness at the next level.
It’s very easy to coast after a long summer of hoops. Very easy to let your standards slip and not attack workouts, skill development or conditioning with the same intensity you did in the weeks leading up to the live period. And I’m not saying that taking a vacation etc. is going to be a sure setback to any prospect’s game.
But I do know that every year when we update our rankings as summer moves into the high school season, a handful of guys jump full levels in our evaluations and have college coaches blowing up our phones asking “where was this guy this summer?”.
Those guys are the ones who didn’t settle, and kept grinding and improving in August.
And though we don’t have any events in August, GASO is excited to announce an expanded schedule of Fall Classic events in September and October where we will be back courtside evaluating prospects from all over the state.
GASO Fall Classic Schedule
Every weekend in September after Labor Day sees a GASO Fall Classic being hosted all over the state, with Duncanville tipping things off on Sep. 9 followed by events at Waco Midway, San Antonio and Houston before a week’s break ahead of the Mansfield event.
We are also hosting two GASO Link Camps this year, giving prospects a chance to showcase themselves in front of college coaches while also learning firsthand from D3/JUCO/NAIA head coaches on subjects like recruitability, college information and translating their games to the next level. For parents/prospects who did not attend in year one, don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from college coaches how to improve your ability to be recruited!
