JEREMY PARGO
Robeson's Jeremy Pargo is the featured player for our latest Photo Essay, where we photographically examine up close and personal one of the Chicago areas brightest players and prospects. Pargo, a 6' 3" 178 lb. sr. forward is committed to Gonzaga. We caught up with Jeremy Thursday (1/6/05) at Harper High School in Chicago. Robeson won the game and Pargo displayed his intimidating Lebron-like skills throughout. It should be noted that Jeremy is down to only five teammates, as head coach Charles Redmond let go five players due to their commitment issues. "If I can't stand by my principals, than what do I have to stand by", Redmond rightly stated before the game.
