He has added a level of aggressiveness to his game that is exciting to watch unfold in the young man’s development.

Certainly, recently re-hired assistant coach Orlando Antigua has been hard after the recruiting trail already for Illinois.

Fears As a National Prospect

Per the film, Jeremiah seems to be filling out his lengthy frame. He looks far more confident attacking the hoop aggressively. Jeremiah has successfully added that portion of his game to his silky smooth jumper. In addition, Jeremiah is now the number 15 prospect in the class of 2025’s ESPN rankings. That is quite the mark for an Illinois Basketball recruit and he should undoubtedly be in the race to be a McDonald’s All-American.
