How many players could play with the 4 fouls for as long as he did? Ice in his veins. Imagine if NCAA didn’t d*ck around and we would have had him earlier in the season? He brings the energy. Shout out to the mods who said we would love his play
J. Williams appreciation thread
- Thread starter RuBird
- Start date
He’s a game changer for us. Thats for sure.
I think we have about three or four more wins right now if JWill played from day one
Absolutely. Different team with him in. Really like when he's in there with Derek, as his size really helps on D (hate having 2 small guards in), while they complement each other quite well on offense, with both having very good handles and quickness and good FT shooters.
Amazing the impact he has had on our team so far.
Let’s call ourselves the Scarlet Bullfrogs !
Jeremiah was awesome !
Already our closer and leader !

He's as good as advertised
Not sure why some thought he wouldn't be our best guard considering the competition
Our elite defense is even better and he brings so much to the table on offense that we were missing. Plus on floor leadership. Plus swag

I guess the practice reports were “right” on him.
Pike doesn’t always miss on recruits and transfers as some here would have you believe.
RU is 2-0 in the JWill era… both road wins!
J Will erases mistakes and makes plays. You can win games with playmakers that understand the game.
And we were all wondering where our alpha. / go to guy was ?
Jeremiah is the man / the bullfrog!

Jeremiah is the man. He has turned around our season. If the NCAA had let him play 5 games earlier we might have won two other games. I am looking forward with him for two more years after this season.
Gonna need to pay him NiL to keep him in the off-season. He’s from Illinois, and he originally committed there after Iowa State.
Bird, not only does he bring the energy, he brings the smarts too. He's a true baller.
That was my point. Most players foul out. He played smart. Most players would be either timid or foul out quickly. Just a fantastic effort
I think Brad Underwood basically pulled back when he realized JWill probably wouldn’t be eligible this season.
Or so he thought…
Ironically, as talented as Illinois is, they really lack a true lead guard, JWill on Illinois, probably gets them better organized shots and more defense on the ball.
This one definitely working out for RU now and has to be a good sign for 2024-25 and beyond.

He also makes everyone around him better.
Where’s the guy who said “he keeps telling everyone Williams isn’t going to make a difference”?
Hahahaha. Where you at to take your medicine?

Willard singing the praises of JWill - pretty heady stuff and spot on, I'd say, just like his glowing follow-up comments on Mag being the best defender he's seen in a long time. "Their addition of Jeremiah Williams totally changes their team...I mean, when I say it's drastic, it's drastically different watching their team before and them know...they added a piece 19 games in that's a veteran guard that can score and defend...that's a different basketball team from the first 19 games, because they didn't have Jeremiah Williams."
The exact type of player missing from this team. A mature guard that can drive and get others involved or take his man one on one off the dribble and get a shot off. Good size and defender as well, will be good for next year as well...this might be the guy that got the other guards to transfer not Fernandes..
ogbole is also helping this team. He is better than Wolf. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that we won both games without Oskar playing any minutes
Coming off an injury. Looking forward to seeing what he can do at 100% with a few practices. Love his potential.
After 2 games and 81 possessions, Jeremiah Williams is the best player on the team according to Evan Miya. OffEff 111.0, DefEff 63.3, +21, while he is on the floor.
