After the three dominated middle school opposition, it was thought they would play together in high school - most of the region's top private schools recruited all three.
But while Jenkins and Britt enrolled at Gonzaga, Fenner made a last-minute decision to move back to Seattle.
After one year in the Pacific Northwest, though, Fenner returned to join his buddies at Gonzaga, partly because Derrick Fenner convinced his son that he would be better challenged playing basketball in the Washington area.
"I was doing well, too, but the competition [in Seattle] was different," Fenner said. "It was hard to compare."
Fenner spent his sophomore season at Gonzaga College High School in Washington D.C. Prior to his sophomore year, the Seattle superstar played his freshman year at Seattle Prep. In June 2012, Fenner moved back to Seattle and enrolled into his former high school Seattle Prep over the summer for his junior and senior year.
In 2013 Fenner finished second in the area in scoring at 27.3 points per game. He scored fewer than 20 only three times all season. He scored more than 30 nine times. He scored 40 twice. In two loser-out games at the end of the season, he combined for 75 points
Fenner committed to the University of Nevada. The 6'6 senior shooting guard from Seattle Prep is regarded as one of the top players in the state of Washington.
Fenner was juggling offers from UC Irvine, Utah and Hawaii, but made his decision after making an official visit to Nevada in early September.
"The coaches made it clear that I would be playing the two-guard position and that I would have a real opportunity to get on the floor my freshman year. That was very important to me," Fenner said.
