The Sacred Heart basketball program has been investing in local prospects and scoring big time. We have noticed over the past few years that they have attacked New York and have been able to land a few impact players. They got tremendous recruitment news today when 6’8” F Jeremiah Jacobs (Eagle Academy Brooklyn, NY ’25) announced he has committed to the Pioneers.

Jacobs was a breakout prospect for Eagle BK last season and is expected to be one of the best players returning to the PSAL. He is big, has great feet, can get creative in the lane, is a force inside, and has developed a perimeter game as well. We expect the ball to be in his hands more this season, his production should skyrocket, and he might be our preseason pick for MVP.

Sacred Heart scored a massive gem when they got 6’2” PG Taj Bryant (The Patrick School, NJ ’24) and to follow it up with Jacobs is huge. He is their first recruit of 2025, and they can easily build around him to strengthen the class. The Pioneers are bringing in ready-made players who can contribute right away and possibly could have gone to a higher conference. We love the fit for Jacobs, he should be comfortable there. This coaching staff is extremely high on him, and he is just scratching the surface of his potential.
