Jeremiah Tilmon, Forward. "I didn't want to be another statistic‪"‬ The Honey Drop

    • Basketball

Honey Badgers forward Jeremiah Tilmon joins host Andrew Damelin to discuss his winding journey to Hamilton. Jeremiah is proud to hail from East St. Louis, Illinois, and he's equally proud that he "got out" of his home city.  Learn about Tilmon's early wrestling career, how it took years as a middle-schooler to become a decent basketball player, and, despite the dangerous environment in East St. Louis, why he had to finish his high school career in his home town. After high school, hear why Jeremiah took up meditation at Missouri, which he continues to this day. And learn about Jeremiah's preference for coaches that scare him.
