In the past two decades, high school basketball players with the potential to earn college scholarships have shifted their priorities. No longer is the high school season the primary focus of these players. Rather, they place far more importance on the club (or AAU) portion of the year because it is during that season that they travel the country to play in front of scouts from every part of the nation.
That shift helps explain the unconventional decision Texas Tech’s top basketball target, Kevin McCullar has made. The 4-star San Antonio product has decided to enroll in college for the spring 2019 semester effectively making him a member of the 2018 signing class.
