Not sure why everyone puts so much emphasis on AU/UA /AS and other regional select events. In our experience, some and in some circumstances many of the best kids do not make these teams. Some that make these teams ultimately decline playing in them as well for various reasons. The evaluators and coaches all have different agendas and mouths to feed. Until they consistently prove they have an unbiased evaluation and selection process they can't be considered best of the best and used as a baseline barometer of top talent. They need to pay evaluators that have no skin in the game instead of a melting pot of club & school coaches.
They do it every year , it’s called the recruiting process and the college coaches are the evaluators. The coaches at the best college coaches consistently identify the best players and the vast majority of the best players end up choosing to go to the programs that consistently finish the season ranked in the Top 10 - 20. It really is a very simple process…. Watch players compete, identify the players you believe to be the best, recruit & make offers to those players, hopefully sign those players and repeat the process the following year Not very difficult to understand.
