I don't know if AAU is the answer but I think if you took all the TOP Prospects from certain geographic areas or states and had some elite 7 on 7 teams play other states elite 7 on 7 teams that could be a positive. Its nothing different than the HS Army Game or the Under Armour game. These kids would just be showcased with other Top Talent. Would probably be pretty competitive and I am sure ESPN or Nike would pick up the sponsorship and or broadcasting etc.

Agree - What is SOOO positive about this...
One risk of injury -
These 7 on 7 tournaments there are not pads... Plus they tend to get REALLY HEATED as well.... It is not real football and as a coach if I want my player to get a scholarship we send out emails, tapes, videos, dvds, we go to camps.... There really is no need for this. It opens for corruption and other issues.
I know I am not the only coach who went to a 7 on 7 tournament and either witnessed a fight or almost one.. The kids, parents and coaches get WAY too involeved...
