If you think college basketball coaches get a much deserved rest period once the college basketball season is over you would be sadly mistaken. The first live recruiting period (where Division 1 college coaches can watch AAU teams in action in approved events) takes place this weekend starting on Friday at 6:00 pm and running through Sunday at 6:00 pm.

Once again the Friar coaching staff will be criss-crossing the country watching potential Friar recruits in action. Here is a list of some of the players they will be watching and where they will be playing:

One of the goals for the Friar staff would be to narrow down who they are seriously considering focussing on for the rest of the AAU season. Keep an eye on where the coaches pop up this weekend. This will give an indication of the recruits they may be focussing on.

This is far from an all inclusive list and will be adjusted and corrected throughout the weekend.
