"Kent and him are like brothers," Wilbur told Inside Lacrosse last December.
But on April 28, Squires-Hill was charged with second-degree murder in the strangling death of 21-year-old Tashina General. He was arrested by police from the Six Nations reserve and placed in police custody.
A statement from OCC at the time said that Squires-Hill "voluntarily withdrew" from the school last April.
Jamieson continued on, however, taking classes at OCC and playing for Six Nations this summer. Now he has enrolled at SU - and he might be the best of the bunch.
Wilbur gushes about him. About his speed. His off-ball play. His riding. His passing. And about his finishing, so deadly from the left side.
"One on one," Wilbur said, "he's almost impossible to stop."
Jamieson spurned potentially becoming a top selection in the National Lacrosse League entry draft, choosing SU instead.
"Growing up, you always dream of something," he said. "And my dream was always to go to college and get a degree. No one in my family's ever gone to college. Well, a couple people have gone to college, but nobody's got a degree."
And playing on the field? That role will develop with time.
"Whatever I can do to help this team win another championship," Jamieson said. "That's the final goal."
