I don't get this critique. Isn't that like doubting Greg Louganis' ability to do a cannonball or if Lance Armstrong can ride a tricycle? We're not talking Lawrence Frank, who never even made his HS team. AJ went through the recruiting process as a player and as a parent. Certainly those experiences will aide him in recruiting. AJ won't be a stranger to the politics of campus life or dealing with prima donna antics. What really does it matter if his lowest level of coaching is significantly higher than SEC basketball?
