I don't think AAU is the difference. It's the NBA and agents

AAU does allow an easier path in for those agents, but because there's such a short stop between high school and the NBA, those agents want to get their hooks into players as early as possible.
In football, even the best players have to wait three years before going pro. That gives less incentive for agents to build ties early.
