Great job. The KO connection with Jeremy is interesting. A few quick points on Jeremy.
1) Jeremy often plays the PG position for his HS team (Damien High), and was their best player, even as a sophomore (possibly as a Freshman too)...played and defeated my son's HS team this past season, did a nice job in all facets, bringing the ball up court against pressure, getting the offense started, scoring, rebounding, assists, drawing fouls, making his FTs (which turned out to be the difference in the game, btw). To put things in perspective, Damien does not play in the top HS division in CA, because they are a smaller school (Division 3aa, but they won the CIFSS title in 3aa and did OK at the state level).
2) Jeremy rarely plays the PG position for his club team (Superior Athletes, out of Anaheim/Stanton CA...they broke away from DreamVision). The reason being that the starting PG (Kendall Small) is the son of the head coach (Don Small). Kendall is also a high level 2015 recruit.
3) My son played for the Superior Athletes 17U B team in the spring (2013), so he practiced against both Jeremy and Kendall every week. Although Kendall has the greater 'buzz' in the so cal area (has so for quite some time), my son thinks Jeremy is a much better overall player. Excellent size for a PG, could improve his shot as noted, but gets to the rim for the finish or assist at will against older competition (they 'played up' in 17U division this Spring and Summer).
4) Another 2015 kid to watch for off of Superior Athletes is Stephen Thompson. Son of Syracuse Alum Stevie Thompson (now the head coach at DII Cal State LA). He's a smooth, lean SF with a nice mid-range and above average handle for his size.
