Summer hoops worthwhile
By John CoonThe Deseret News, 07-27-2010
It has become a familiar summer ritual for Michael Brown. The Wasatch High School guard gathers up his uniform and basketball shoes, hops into his car and makes a 45-minute drive from Heber to Salt Lake City in order to get in some quality time on the court.
There's a good reason behind making these frequent trips from home. For Brown, it gives him the opportunity to play AAU basketball and offers an avenue to give college coaches a good look at his game.
"The best way to get recruited and the best way to get better is to go out and play against the AAU competition," Brown said. "So I decided that in the long run I could get a lot more experience and a lot more skill behind me if I make the drive here every day."
