Jeremiah Fears is not going to be suiting up for the Fighting Illini next season but I explore possibilities that might mean he could still end up in Champaign in the future. Also, I talk about my thoughts on Missouri being on the schedule starting in 2026 and also give my comments on Shauna Green's reported potential extension.

I hope fears does well next year, and playing college competition may be better for him than another year of high school. I wish him luck!

Agreed Tom, there are folks (like me) saying he should wait another year and get bigger physically. I hope he proves me wrong, he seems like a great kid!

@LockedOnIllini Hopefully, he can get get bigger and stronger at the school he picks for this year. I'd love to see him back at Illinois in 2025, but I think the Illini are going to be pretty good either way. I'm impressed with the guys who are coming in.

I agree on Jeremiah Fears possibly coming to Illinois in the future. Absolutely you are correct on this thinking. I differ on your 2025 perspective though. Way too early to think 2025 is going to be better than this year. So many things can change you cannot bank on any of it. Players leaving; players not coming; etc. It’s the new era so this year, and each year from now on is the only year you can get excited or not about. I will go out on a limb to say it is this year that has Final Four written all over it - as a possibility. This year. Talent level very high high; the depth is very deep; we’ve become “foul proof” this year; replacements will elevate the team each time whoever comes off the bench; a different top scorer nightly; multiple double digit scorers; a team very hard to guard; top notch rebounding team this year; 3 point scorers aplenty; and we could drive all night to the hoop and score or get fouled. Ok … there’s actually more but I’ll cut it off. As Lauren Tate said recently … potential is just a lot of doo doo. This team needs the bright lights; the crowd noise to get used to; they need to meld. Brads biggest challenge is continuing the culture that was given great birth last season. They bled orange and blue for each other. This team gets this?? And, we will go very very far THIS YEAR.

Bill, I’m not gonna lie, you’re making a lot of sense and could slowly be starting to sway me. I gave you a special mention in tomorrow’s episode!

I agree Sunny.

Love the positivity! If he does come to Illinois with year of college ball under his belt perfect, but if he doesn’t, we’ll be fine

Exactly, it probably won’t happen but there are certainly paths out there that would make sense in the future for it to occur, that’s all!

My man Chris! Feel so guilty for putting this episode out but hearing stuff like that is why I’ll continue doing it. Trust me I’m working on the issue on my end.

Next season would be better for Jeremiah. With all the talent on this years roster getting the playing time he wants would be difficult. Next season he will be stronger and Big 10 ready. I hope that he makes his return in the future.

I like Jeremiah & I think he’s surrounded by good folks. I hope they get their wish and he is a star and goes to the NBA immediately. BUT, if what I described in the show happens I also think that’s one of the other better case scenarios for everyone involved.

@jrmarcus 13 күн бұрын

It probably would be, but I think he's already graduated from high school. It's hard to tell him to take a year and wait for a spot. The schools pursuing him probably have an immediate opening for him.

@123bcastle 13 күн бұрын

It is my understanding that Fears cant be a 1 and done due to his age.

@LockedOnIllini 13 күн бұрын

I thought that because he turns 18 before the season that he could enter the draft but I could be wrong!

These podcasters need to stop talking about Fears. It happened a week ago. Let it go. It's not just your show, it's all of them, just rehashing the same talks and info over and over again. We're over Fears. It is what it is, no new ground to cover there.

Always appreciate your feedback! Right now there’s a reason a lot of the shows are talking similar content, it’s because it’s the off-season. Theres not much else to talk about, especially with me doing shows on a daily basis. I know every episode won’t be for everyone all the time so I do appreciate hearing your thoughts!
