CHICAGO — Don’t confuse Jeremy Sochan’s colorfully dyed hair for gentleness.

As his former college coach told The Post, “When a dog is a puppy, it either barks or it bites. And Jeremy has always bitten.”

“He’s a free spirit,” said Scott Drew, who guided Sochan for a season at Baylor. “But a lot of times with free spirit, you think softness.

“And he’s got more Dennis Rodman in him than he does somebody else.”
