I come back to Mendez. Shoot, rebound, defend. Lay it all out. Kirchofer, played as hard as anyone. They reminded me of Butler guys the year they almost won it all. Mid major talent coached up and playing hard.

Actually, Mendez was a relatively highly recruited guy. I'm not sure if there was a star system back then but he certainly would have been a four-star. Put it this way: he averaged in the ball park of 38 points and 18 rebounds as a high school senior. 

Kirchofer would have been a solid three-star in my opinion. 

That said, they each improved tremendously over their four years. Mendy was one of the best wings in the conference as a senior and Kirchofer was a pretty good bench player that same season - he actually had one game (can't remember which) where his excellent play was needed to keep that long winning streak going.
