The physical part is really hard to judge in the mixtape because he's playing against 8th graders (he's also one, of course). But the skills obviously translate to high school varsity level.

Big game in Class A Saturday night in Omaha, as #2 Omaha Central hosts #3 Creighton Prep. Prep is looking to avenge their lone loss of the year which came against Central in the Metro Conference Tournament Semi-Finals. Lots of fun players to watch in that game including Roman Behrens, Akol Arop, and Coach Kenya Hunter's son Jaylin who is now eligible and starting for the Junior Jays. Good rivalry game, should be a fun environment, that's where I'll be.

Big game for Kenya Hunter's son Jaylin tonight at Central as he had a career high 30 points. The gym was sold out, full, and very loud. Fun game to watch. Glynn, Palmer, and Thomas were in attendance supporting Jaylin. He ran over to them right as the game ended. 

Why is Kenya's son going to school in Omaha?

Presumably, Kenya wants a parochial school education for his son, and Lincoln Pius and Wahoo Neumann don’t provide the level of competition and supporting cast that he wants.

It is beyond a parochial education.  Creighton Prep is a Jesuit school, one of only fifty or sixty in the US.  Some can look at that negatively, others positively.  But it is unique and not for everyone.  I believe Coach Hunter went to Duquesne University which was founded by  the Congregation of the Holy Spirit and is the only Spiritan institution of higher education in the United States.

Took in the Lincoln East-Omaha Burke game last night.  Watched Shereef Mitchell of Burke.    Really good player.   Quick.   Good court vision while facing some junk defense.  Soft touch on free throws (6-6).  However, I didn't see a Power 5 body.   Not sure he would be able to handle the physicality at that level.   Didn't appear to have the body type to put on weight or get much bigger.    Just an amateur analysis.    

 

Palmer, Allen, and Atenken strolled in during the second quarter and watched the rest of the game.

Grades were a major issue.  Maybe he has solved those problems.  The kid does have talent.

I'm aware of that. Don't think those schools are any more or less difficult to get into than NU. If he's gonna be eligible, NU should be in on that conversation.
