More Important Circuit Information
We hosted 2,500+ AAU basketball teams in 2025 and over 1,000 college coaches (in-person & on the live streams) throughout the spring and summer.
Our circuit teams benefited by playing top-level competition in front of college coaches ā giving the coaches the best opportunities for proper player evaluations.
The Circuit is open to any team to play in our Open Runs; however, we have a select group that is in our premier division that gets all the benefits of committing to the circuit. Teams will compete in a competitive League and move up and down the standings based on their wins and losses. All roads lead to The Finale where our bracket finale will take place. Teams will be seeded based on their League standings. Winner take all!
Top players from the League will be invited to participate in the Larry Hughes Elite Camp. This has quickly become one of the top camps in the country and will feature nationally ranked players from across the country to compete against top RecruitLook Hoops Circuit players.
