Hard to say... Neither has ever played a college game. Our staff certainly seems more enamored with Jeremiah than they were with Jeremy at same stage in their careers, but that's just, like, their opinion, man.

Beleive this might be the future. If your not a lock to play heavy minutes in a big role on a top 25 program, being the man on a solid program for a year or two then moving on to that top 15 to be a top contributor.
Is St Mary’s not currently a top 25 program?

This is just my opinion, but even if they are, they don't recruit like a top 25 team, and aren't likely to be a top 25 team for the next 4 years. Gonzaga, OTOH, recruits like a top team, so they are different.

Tonight was very big for recruiting ... Don't let anyone tell you differently ... This game mattered ...
How much do hs recruits (or transfer recruits) put stock in bench attitude/hype/energy? Just out of curiosity

St. Mary’s has won a game in each of the last two tourneys and has been ranked higher than Illini in each of the last 2 years final week AP rankings. In fact Illinois wasn’t even ranked in last year’s final week poll. Maybe they don’t HS recruit like a top 25 team, but they must be overall recruiting like a top 25 team cuz, well, that’s what they’ve been of late. And their second recruit in 2024 class is just outside top 100.

Also have an Australian connection whose players are probably not ranked.
