Offered 6-4 SF out of St. Viator HS in Arlington Heights (Chicago Area) Verbal Commits PageSame high school as Ore, and appears to somewhat know him, at least. Seems like we’re a little late to the party, already has visits set up to South Dakota and Kent State.

He apparently took a visit here this weekend (unofficial?). His father tweeted that it was a “great visit”

So maybe we aren't late! Maybe the Ore factor will give us an edge.

Sun -Times had him as one of their top 50 players going into 2017-18, listed as a guard. Was Conference Player of the Year last season, as a Junior. Supposedly Wisconsin looked at him, but made no offer. Even though Viator is only 15 minutes from the house, I have never seen him in action.

Looks like Jerry is taking an official visit September 13-15. According to Scott Burgess he is the wing target for the staff and we seem to be making a nice push to get him. Tweet

Jeremiah talks about his visit to Drake. https://www.prephoops.com/2018/09/jeremiah-hernandez-video/ Plans to visit Kent State next weekend. Sounds like the Drake visit went well.

Not sure what to take from that interview? Even though the young man was open and upfront about things, it still left many unanswered questions. ha. Young man has a certain demeanor and confidence, looks like somebody is going to get a good one. He'd look good in Drake Blue!

I'm not in the know on anything here...but my read on his comments and body language is that Kent St. is his pick if they show him the love. Made it seem like he'd call off other visits if this weekend at Kent St. went well...
Just DU it !

Had just the opposite impression. Thought Kent State was a courtesy visit. Hope so.

Perhaps I'm being hopeful, but my interpretation of the interview is that Drake and Kent State are the only offering schools that he is considering and that he is going to make a choice after his visit to Kent State (ALA Xavier Pinson) between the 2 schools. However, like Pinson he is not yet closing the door just in case a high-major comes calling. Unlike Pinson, he wants to make his commitment ASAP.

Actually, if he chooses Drake or K State he would have proven to be a lousy politician because he was honest. Like his confidence, like that he speaks of his visits with "we". Nice vision off the court and, looking at his sizzle reel, on the court.

Nice vision off the court and, looking at his sizzle reel, on the court. Are you kidding? Perfect politician..... McB....Not sure what to take from interview......Many unanswered questions. Really Big Bulldog and Urby think he's going to Kent, based on body language and other factors in the interview. Coach thinks the opposite, that he's headed to Drake after a courtesy visit to Kent. Da Bulldog thinks it could be either one. I, myself, thought he was totally evasive and have no idea what his "truth" is. Only he knows. Yes, sir, perfect politician......keep 'em guessing, baby, keep 'em guessing.

I was impressed with the young man in that interview. Seems like a perfect Drake prospect. Speaks well, and seems like a good fit for the fast-paced basketball DeVries wants to play.
And, the MVC is perfect if the young man's family wants to watch most of his games in person. Virtually every game will be within an easy drive for his family.
And, a Drake education will take him a long way after his b-ball career is over.

Just watched it. I think having connections to two of our players gives us a slight edge. I'd say 60/40 in Drake's favor. I don't know any about Kent State's Campus but I imagine our campus and practice facility will work in our favor.

Plus Ore’s connection.
The real gut punch was when asked about what he liked about Kent State, “they’re winners”. 😂
