Me too. Here's a Sun-Times article from a few days ago: linkAnyone and everyone who watched Jeremiah Oden during his career at St. Rita came away intrigued with his upside and potential as a prospect. The expectation was there would be a breakout at some point. While Oden may not have had a singular moment or meteoric breakthrough during his time at St. Rita, it was mostly due to the late maturation process –– both physically and with his individual game. Oden is very young for his class and has always been a baby physically. But that length, athleticism, agility and size screamed “just wait!” when evaluating him. And as has been stated numerous times in this space, the development of high school basketball players, particularly with Oden’s story and attributes, can come in many different stages. The Class of 2019 unsigned Oden has looked terrific this summer with Team Rose on the club circuit. With fluid athleticism, running ability and ideal physical tools at 6-8, along with an improved jumper and more consistent production, Oden looks as if he’s set to reach that ceiling as a prospect. Although he had numerous mid-major options, the plan is for Oden to head to prep school this fall. In the world of prep school prospects, Oden appears to be the ideal candidate as a true, late-blooming player. Oden looks more than the part of a mid-major prospect right now. With a year of prep school and further development, it would be surprising if Oden isn’t recruited at the mid-major plus or high-major levels in the coming year.
He's 6'8" and athletic....exactly what the 'dogs need to help replace the Murphy twins.

He'd be a great get and he looks like he would fit right in with our style of play.
Moving forward.....

Apparently not interested in his current offers as reportedly he is already planning on attending Sunrise after high school.

+xApparently not interested in his current offers as reportedly he is already planning on attending Sunrise after high school. He's already graduated from high school. Drake didn't offer him until summer.

That is good. I just saw a thing at the top of his verbal commits page and assume being at the top it was recent. I think he would be a great addition to our team.

Visited today (or recently[edit:yesterday, see IG story]). https://www.instagram.com/p/B11c0-yn8V0/?igshid=14fw6tp1hbev4Just to be clear (see caption) he did NOT commit, even though those are the pictures we usually see with a commitment.
