“Isang buwan si Kieffer doon, and then tuloy na siya sa States,” he shared, laying out the pathway that the younger Alas will take.
Alas said that they have already come into terms with an NCAA Division I school where the Gilas Pilipinas Youth star will play next, although they are opting to keep it hidden for the meantime.
Nonetheless, the focus is on strengthening and holistic improvement to the game of the younger Alas who is coming off a solid stint in the 2025 Smart-NBTC National Finals as he led Phenom Blue Fire-Pasay to a runner-up finish.
Cooper is the head coach of Warwick Senators, an NBL1 West club, and was connected through the help of former Australia Boomers assistant coach Rob Beveridge.
