A tape strictly showing you scoring at will against very very weak defenders will not open anybodys eyes. Not one clip showing any defensive or rebounding skills and I saw one clip showing a pass, which he should have been called for charging.
On top of all this, how many times was he able to casually walk up to the three point line and shoot. Again very weak defenders.
If you want to get some looks, you have to do a much better job of putting a tape of your skills together. Basketball isn't all about dribbling coast to coast or dribbling up to the three point line and shooting with no pressure. If I was a coach or scout, I would think that this kid is a major ball hog with limited to no passing skills. Basketball is about team work and there are no clips of using your teammates at all.
You must show scouts/coaches some clips of your defense, whether it be in full or half court man to man. Your ability to play defense as part of a press. How you play defense in a zone. Again, does this kid have the ability to find his team mates or does he just try to do everything himself.
Just trying to help, not trying to burst your bubble. Make a better tape and show everybody all of the skills I mentioned. It is just a tape of selfish looking basketball, which is the last thing a scout/coach wants to see.
