Jermaine O'Neal Jr., a four-star small forward from Dallas, will face the Boozer twins in Saturday's Chipotle Nationals championship game in Indiana. O'Neal's Dynamic Prep advanced to the final after defeating California's Prolific Prep in the semifinals.
O'Neal expressed his anticipation on Instagram as he shared a story about the title game.
"Everything comes full circle," O'Neal captioned the story.
Columbus High School edged out New Hampshire-based Brewster Academy in a thriller, thanks to Cayden Boozer's game-winning shot. Cayden's brother, Cameron, finished with 15 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks en route to winning the game 47-45.

Jermaine O'Neal chose SMU Mustangs in last year
Jermaine O'Neal received offers from some of the best programs in the country. However, he chose the SMU Mustangs over schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Missouri and Arkansas.
O'Neal was impressed by the Mustangs after his visit to the program prior to his commitment.
"The visit went great," O'Neal said about his visit in Sept., per On3. "I love the coaching staff and how they appreciate me for me. I love the school and everything they’re building there especially since they’re now in the ACC. So in all it was a very good visit."
O'Neal received an offer from SMU in 2022, but he kept exploring other options before pledging his allegiance to the Mustangs on Sept. 18.
The Mustangs' Class of 2025 is ranked No. 12 in the country, per 247Sports. Apart from O'Neal, the program has also signed four-star prospects Jaden Toombs and Nigel Walls.
