Go ahead and send Hop a message.  May not do anything but no harm done.  AAU is deifinitely the best way to get these kids noticed broadly.  As much as we like to think that the coaches know all the players and we can't possibly have seen a kid the coaches are unaware of that is not always the case.   During a golf event I spent some time with an assistant at one of our local colleges (new BE) and asked about a kid that plays for one of our top rivals.  He'd never heard of him or his name.  He could have been playing the "I can't talk about recruits" game but he was more than willing to talk about others.  I was kind of shocked how he could not of heard of a kid in our own town especially cosnidering the kid made ESPN for one of his dunks (against us).  This player has multiple D1 offers though not "high level" D1,  Several MAC schools along with East Carolina, Winthrop type schools.   He may not be good enough for high D1 but to make that evaluation a coach at least needs to know his name to eliminate him.   I have heard they are now looking at him.  Player is 6'3" shooter with unlimited range but his athletcism is kind of freakish.  Bottom lione is there are so many players out there its hard for a coach to have heard of everyone.  Odds are an SU assistant with be near your area to watch somebody else. If he has this kids name it can't hurt.
