Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo might be about to catch a huge break in recruiting a top player for the class of 2025. According to a recent Instagram post by the recruit himself, Jeremiah Fears has announced his decision to reopen his recruitment, giving the Spartans another shot at securing the young player.
What We Know So Far
Fears, who was initially committed to Illinois, cited a desire to explore other opportunities following meaningful conversations with his family. The move has left many speculating about the reasons behind his decision. Some sources point to the signing of Will Riley, a highly touted 6-foot-8 small forward who is capable of playing either backcourt spot, as the catalyst for Fears’ decommitment.
Fears is considered one of the top point guards in the 2025 class.
Regardless of the reason, the news has significant implications for Michigan State. With Fears now back on the market, the Spartans have an opportunity to bring in another top recruit to complement their already talented roster. Izzo might have a strong hand in this recruitment, given the presence of Fears’ older brother Jeremy on the team.
How Jeremiah Fears Could Fit In at Michigan State
But what qualities would Jeremiah Fears bring to the table? According to recruiting analyst Brandon Jenkins, Fears is a smooth and confident scorer who is at his best in a secondary ball-handling role. He has no problem finding his own offense within the flow of a game, making shots, and creating for himself off the bounce. These skills could prove invaluable to Izzo’s offense, which is known for its emphasis on speed and versatility.
“He is a smooth and confident scorer who has no problem finding his own offense within the flow of a game,” Jenkins wrote. “A combination guard with a score-first mindset, Fears is at his best in a secondary ball-handling role where he can primarily focus on making shots and creating for himself off the bounce.”
