Well, we are getting away from the original question, which I think the answer is no.
However, I love the topic and I am happy to discuss.
I think AAU definitely helps players get discovered earlier. I don't think it has any affect on actually producing better players.
I think all of the top 100 players would get high level offers without AAU, but maybe not as many national offers. A player from a small town in Texas may not get offered by Syracuse, but would likely still be known by Texas, Baylor and A&M.
I guess it depends on your definition of elite.

I just came from watching AAU players from the age of 10-13 play and think that you're flat out wrong about that. AAU coaches teach fundamental skills that these players don't pick up in most middle schools/junior highs. Sure there are some players that AAU probably doesn't do anything for but there are a lot of players who are willing to work and improve their game and AAU serves that purpose.
