To quote a famous Rock&Roll tune from the 1960s, former Southfield-Lathrup boys basketball star Jeremiah Ingram is California dreaming - ready to B-Bop his way out to the West Coast to go NEXT LEVEL

Currently at Colby Community College in Kansas, Ingram accepted a DI scholarship this week, committing to San Jose State.

Ingram is a dogged and diverse talent on the hardwood, a 6-foot-7 slasher of a wing that can play either small forward or shooting guard. Last winter at Colby CC, he averaged a notable 15 points, seven rebounds and 3.5 assists per night. The consummate hard worker, Ingram can defend and is a strong finisher around the rim. His 3-point proficiency is getting better every second.

He started two seasons at Lathrup, being overshadowed in the headline department by his high-octane teammate, Jon-Jon Williams, now hooping at the University of Toledo.

After a dynamite season last winter in JUCO ball followed up by a productive summer, Ingram picked up a number of mid-major DI offers, including one from last year's Final Four participant, Wichita State.

Competing in the Western Athletic Conference, San Jose State went 9-20 in 2013. Once on campus next fall, Ingram will have two years of eligibility.
