00:00 >> All right, Jeremiah, so how does it feel to be up here in Seattle, man?
00:04 >> It's been real cool, nice family environment.
00:07 They welcome you in with open arms, and I can't thank them more for it.
00:10 >> So what was that period like where obviously you committed kind of under
00:13 the old staffer to board, and then you decided to stay on with Kevin Cummings and
00:17 Fish.
00:18 What was that two, three week period like for you?
00:21 >> It was just crazy, just cuz I was up on my official visit when it happened.
00:25 So when the news came out that he went to Bama, it was crazy.
00:30 I was on my official, I was like, so what's about to happen now?
00:34 But they basically just sent me home and told me we're not trying to sell you on
00:36 the school, that we won't be here for it, and I understood.
00:39 But it was really god cuz it was either here or Arizona.
00:42 It just so happened that the Arizona culture staff came up here, so
00:45 everything just worked out just fit, so I stayed.
00:47 >> So what was it about Arizona when Fish was down there, just the interest?
00:51 >> Yeah. >> And then them coming up to Washington,
00:53 what is it about Fish and Kevin Cummings that really kind of resonated?
00:56 >> It was really just his offense and how the receivers were productive.
01:00 I just felt like I can fit in that type of offensive style.
01:03 And you see last year the type of energy they had and
01:07 the type of vibe they had, especially in the season.
01:09 I feel like I can see myself there, and that's what I feel good about.
01:13 >> And did it kind of help knowing that going to the Big Ten, so
01:15 obviously you have a bigger future home and kind of maybe some tough-
01:18 >> I mean, yeah, that helps.
01:19 The Big Ten's a very competitive conference, and
01:23 I like to repeat, so I'm glad I'm here.
