“Jake Perper has been an incredible ally in evaluating and promoting our basketball program and players. His events are some of the best in Florida, he’s got a keen eye for talent, and nobody watches more high school basketball in the state. Most importantly, Jake is honest and dependable, and truly cares about the players and coaches in grassroots basketball. Our program and I will continually support Jake any way we can because we know he’s in it for the right reasons and acts with integrity.”
