This is the backwards thinking of 30 years ago that keeps travel ball still alive.Yes it literally is. Travel ball is a huge part of recruiting now in multiple sports. Camping in football is also very important. Kent State is not going to offer a basketball player who just plays 22-25 high school games a year. The more exposure the better, thats an inarguable fact.
Also with the portal and the covid year its actually never been harder to get a scholarship out of high school so good luck to all the kids waiting by their phones because they have the talent and someone will just find them
YOU DO NOT NEED TRAVEL BALL TO GET A SCHOLARSHIP.
NCAA D1 is full of basketball players that were entirely too poor to play AAU. You don't see it as much in baseball or softball because the poorest kids aren't playing those sports.
But to still think in 2024 that you need to play travel ball to get noticed is just flat out not true.
