Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers out there from myself and our Arizona Preps’ staff. I spent a lot of time this weekend in fellowship with close friend and legendary scout and coach Jerry Mullens. He is an amazing human being, and one of the greats in the business.

Extremely proud of my former long-term intern and assistant Chris Buchanan of Arizona Preps, who was recently moved up to an assistant coach at the University of Portland, for the spring, and was on the road last weekend in Dallas, Texas. Buchanan is a tireless worker.

St. Mary’s High School 6-3 rising sophomore guard Jason Fontenet was very impressive tonight in his all-star performance in The Show Future Elite Summer League All-Star Game for the league’s top 2023 prospects. Fontenet’s body and skillset are really advanced for his age.

AZ Compass Prep very skilled and tough junior guard Kam’Ren Rhodes is a nice talent. Rhodes has had a strong performance, since overcoming a previous injury. The gifted 2022 guard prospect has given a big verbal commitment to the University of Dayton. ⁦ @AZCompassGBB
