Santa Clara received a commitment from Jared Brownridge, a 6-foot-1 guard out of Waubonsie Valley (IL) High School.

"The coaching staff has been recruiting me for a long time, going to my high school games and AAU games," Brownridge pointed out. "That went a long way. My whole family loves the staff."

Brownridge chose Santa Clara in large part because of its academics.

"What they showed us academically blew us away," he said.
