Personal:
Jeremiah aims to make a significant impact this season, contributing as a leader both on and off the court. Outside of basketball, he enjoys hanging out with close friends and family, trying different restaurants, and watching Chicago sports. Being a hard worker, a good teammate, and always keeping a smile on his face are the most important impressions he hopes to leave on others.
Coach Pikiell’s Remarks:
  • “Chicago’s finest. We're home here for him. He's been an unbelievable leader. You know the impact he made on our team, our leading returning scorer, but he's our captain along with Zach Martini. Two good captains with great leadership skills and very unselfish. And so I’m looking for him to continue off his great season last year, he's going to have a greater one this year.”
Player’s Remarks:
  • “I stayed [in Piscataway in the offseason] because Jersey is home for me now and I wanted to continue to show up every day and continue to get better, stay healthy. I spent a lot of time just shooting, putting up reps, and getting a lot of mixes in with different coaches on the coaching staff when they went on their recruiting trips, so I just wanted to stay here and continue to hone in on my skills and just show up every day.”
