My son used to also do some training on the side with a former assistant coach from Camarillo that worked with Jaime Jaquez before and currently works with Jaquez's cousin. Both trainers told my son that he should be targeting US schools because he has the skill. He just needs to be more aggressive. They mentioned possible lower level D1, and this guy wasn't being paid, so I think he really believed it. Up until recently, in my opinion my son looks like a star in practice and training, but in games he looks like a regular guy and is often too passive offensively. He's got to get that figured out. But he is probably the most vocal guy on the court on defense in almost every game, and doesn't mind doing the little things like boxing out, setting screens, and playing defense. Playing pickup looks like it's helping him find his game even more than playing club did.
His school is Div 3AA in CIF Southern Section. Their school does ok in Division games, but they're horrible in League (Marmonte). The Varsity team has zero League victories in 2 yrs, but has a good record outside of League.
The coach has been there 3 yrs I believe, but when he started a few players transferred out and a lot of expected Freshmen went to different schools. So its been tough. I do expect this next year to be better though.
My son has a decent GPA. Not quite 4.0, but close. He shouldn't end up being limited in options due to grades unless it's an elite Ivy League, which i cant afford anyway.
