Thanks for the info; what is also very nice is that Jett has pretty good size which should help him get his shot off quickly. I know First Love is a team that travels around the Country but I’d like to see him play in person. So far I’ve just seen video. I’ll check online.

Good luck. I've been calling !st Love to find out where they play home games as the schedule has them listed as Pittsburgh. Last year they played home games at the Brownson House in Washington. The Brownson House told me they still practice there but do not play there anymore. I saw them last year and Jett was 1 for 4 from the 3 after hitting like 9 in the previous game. I 've left messages with 1st Love Athletic Dept. that have not been returned.

I was trying to find out where they play as well.

Here is the remaining schedule when they come into Pgh:
Jan 13th & 15th in pittsburgh vs. aspire acadmey
Jan 20th - mlk classic
Feb 4th vs Kiski School
Feb 19th vs Planet Athlete

I would venture a guess that the Kiski game would be played AT Kiski (1888 Brett Ln, Saltsburg, PA 15681)

The rest, I cant find any info 

Did you have any luck finding Jett's stats for this season?

Not yet, but they regularly update their twitter page (@Firstlove_hoops) with highlights and such.

But I'm still digging, I found a couple "paid" sites but I'm not THAT interested

That is precisely why I asked. I can't allow myself to spend money on that data. It's a slippery slope.

First Love is playing Monday at 12:30 at Woodland Hills.

They are showing a lot of the games online and also have replays on some of them.

I'm link illiterate but I typed it in for you. Ballertv.com/events/mlk-weekend-stand-against-violence-showcase

I watched part of a game on replay Friday night without paying. I googled MLK tourney at Woodland Hills and came across it that way.

Anyone able to watch Jett today?

I've been searching around and have found two of the replays that can be watched for free.  still trying to get !st Love. The 2 I found were both local teams involved. Alderdice and West Allegheny so there might be a chance for !st Love.

!st Love wins by 1 after bring down 12 in 2nd half. Roesing had 17 with 2A and 3 steals. He was 3 for 10 on 3's and 4 0f 5 on 2's. Made 3 nice drives finishing with pressure. Looks like he can handle the ball a little too.

I was impressed with the 3 drives as they were all contested and he did miss one other contested drive. 

Just did some youtube searching for recent videos, and came upon some interesting results.
First Love competed in the National High School Hoops Festival at Dematha High School in DC in December, and there are two videos of their games in which they lost. In the first game against Rock Creek Roesing hits at least 6 threes in the video, and down by 20 in the fourth quarter he made 4 of those trying to make a comeback. It's too little too late, but impressive nonetheless that he got his team back in the game with some clutch threes which I'd love to see him be able to do for the Dukes. In the next game against NCA, Roesing again hits several threes. The end of game situation resulted in First Love needing a three to tie it at the buzzer. The ball went to him, but got blocked. In the final recent video I found from late January, First Love Academy plays Lyndhurst and wins, but not with too much Roesing influence, at least on the video. It seems like First Love Adademy is a very talented basketball team and has the types of players that will take it to the hoop successfully so Jett does not much. Honestly, in most of these videos he seems to be like not a huge defensive contributor, and just a spot up shooter on offense... at the high school level. He does have two good dishes in the three videos and these are just highlight tapes so I cannot truly come to that conclusion. While it would be fantastic to have a reliable three point shooter, which I hope Roesing will be for Duquesne, I really hope he has what it takes to play solid D and run a good offense to get some substantial playing time.
