'25 Brandon Stores Updates Recruitment After Big Week
January 2, 2024 by Travis Graf
2025 Brandon Stores took home MVP honors from the Jordan Holiday Classic for St. Raymond's game against Hudson Catholic. He finished with 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting to go along with six rebounds and two steals. His strength and versatility allowed him to impact the game from the perimeter as well as from the post. Stores possesses a strong frame that he used to carve out space off of the bounce. Below, he spoke to MADE Hoops about where he's at in the recruiting process.

Georgia Tech: "I love Coach (Damon) Stoudamire and the NBA coaching experience he brings, plus the culture he is bringing to Georgia Tech."
Rutgers: "I like the family of Rutgers and the whole staff and what the future holds there."
Xavier: "Sean Miller's track record speaks for itself and he’s put multiple guys in the league. I’m interested in the position he can put me in."
What He's Looking For in a School: "A school that will give me the best chance to get to the next level."
Visit Plans: "Not as of right now. I already took a visit to Rutgers and Georgia Tech. Xavier is for a later date."
What He Will Bring to a School: "I’m a player that can do a little bit of everything and I’ll do whatever a coach needs to get a win."
MADE Take: As of right now, I'd look for Stores to end up at either Georgia Tech or Rutgers. We will see if a potential Xavier visit can swing things in their favor down the line.
