Man, I gotta say Valai, Jones, Chavis, and DeMarco got some dawg in 'em. OU is fortunate to have them.

“The big thing with the relationship with me and coach Valai. It all started because he FaceTimed me and he saw my clips and stuff and offered me. But the thing is, he stayed consistent with his relationship with me. He came to my basketball at Mountain Pointe and he saw my big block I had against the one dude on a fast break. The fact that he saw that because he came out made me realize, ‘oh my gosh he came out to see me at a basketball game.’”

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound three-sport athlete said Jay Valai hadn’t taken a single day off of contacting him since he made the offer.

Jeremiah says he’s a “relationships guy”. While that’s what put the Sooners over the edge in his recruitment, he says Oklahoma’s scheme fits him better than any other. He had offers from 21 programs.

“Their defensive scheme is the right fit for me because they want me in the corner nickel spot over there. Other schools, they were more receiver spot or just corner. I think with their defensive scheme putting me in at the nickel spot I can like, you know, help them out and give my value to them.”
