Four-star Houston Cougars signee Kingston Flemings is a highly-rated prospect who has just concluded his high school basketball career after playing for four years at the William J. Brennan High School in San Antonio, Texas. The 6-foot-2 point guard was a key player for the Brennan Bears, averaging 16.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 2.1 steals per game over his high school run.

In a documentary video with Sportstar TV posted to Instagram on Tuesday, William J. Brennan High School coach Koty Cowgill praised Flemings' talent, describing him as a dynamic, coachable, and intelligent player. He stated that although he hasn't seen every player out there, he wouldn't trade Kingston for anyone:

"I haven't seen any everybody, but I haven't seen anyone that I would trade," Cowgill said. "I'll say, like, we're trading players, like, there's not, forget point guard, there's not a player I would train, you know, I mean, just his (Kingston Flemings) dynamic, defensively, coachable, smart, you know, great teammate.

According to Flemings, coach Koty Cowgill, along with his father, played a major role in shaping him both as a player and as a person.

"Growing up with him, I mean, he's taught me a lot, you know, read just how to shoot. You know him, my dad, you know, constantly working on me. So, you know, he's a great person in my life."

Now that his high school basketball journey has come to an end, Kingston Flemings will be stepping away from Coach Cogwill's guidance for the first time in a while. As he transitions to the next level, he'll be joining Coach Kelvin Sampson and the Houston Cougars for the upcoming college season.
