I don't know about Creighton's interest, but I do know Kendall. It's kind of funny, Kendall goes about 6'6" or 6'7" and stockier, while Justin is 6'10" or 6'11" and a string bean. Genetics are funny sometimes.
Kendall is a good player. He has a soft touch and can hit the mid-range jumper as well as operate out of the post. He and Justin are going to form a pretty devastating two-man game. Kendall loves throwing lobs to Justin, and Justin has excellent vision and is great at finding his brother when he's open as well.
Kendall will probably be able to play somewhere, but I'm not sure that will be at Creighton or another team at that level unless he goes through the same rapid progression Justin is going through.
They're both really nice kids too from what I've gathered from my interactions with them.
Justin plays AAU for he OSA National Team, while Kendall plays for one of the OSA regional teams. Both will be in action at OSA's AAU tournament over the 4th of July weekend. I'll be there covering the event and will keep an eye on them. It seems like Justin is getting better every time I see him play.
