Jeremy Fears Jr. will most likely be the best returning player in college basketball if he runs it back at MSU next season.
Despite being just 6’1”, Fears is one of the highest-IQ, grittiest, winningest players you’ll see.
Unsurprisingly, The Floor General continues to generate NBA buzz at the Draft Combine with elite performance.
JFJ is without a doubt an NBA player, but I’m hoping we get to witness at least one more year in the green and white 💚🤍

@DW33zyy @ACumbow @wolverinefan313 @jeremy_fears We act like winning the title is so easy. It took the bigten 26 years to win one, with plenty of loaded bigten teams. Duke's had more talent than anyone over the last decade, and hasn't played in a nationally championship in what 11 years. But yea, winning it all is so easy
English

@ACumbow @wolverinefan313 @jeremy_fears Izzo not utilizing the transfer portal, under performing with top talent, not changing the way he coaches, his staff(until a few years ago) has been his biggest downfall and being in that ‘good’ category. Got 1 26 years ago we act like it was 2020.
English

@DW33zyy @ACumbow @wolverinefan313 @jeremy_fears Underperforming with top talent? Which players underperformed with Izzo? The way "he coaches" just dominated the bigten, winning by 3 games just 2 seasons ago. He's dominated the bigten for 3 decades and he's been to 8 final fours. He just keeps winning, what are we doing here

@SethDavisHoops @hhqsports It is unsustainable. Until true guidelines are set and a CBA is put in place. Until then it will continue to operate very close to the Wild West. Look no further at St. John's recent addition

People keep describing the college hoops transfer market as unsustainable. I beg to differ! The system is actually working (sort of). My column for Hoops HQ @hhqsports

@StockTalks21 Man you really have to do more HW. They bring Kur Teng back (almost 40% in Big10 play), Kaleb Glenn can shoot, Jordan Scott shot over 43% from 3pt land in Big10 play. Jesse M showed promise in limited action. Medlock/Jervis bring shooting, and Fears made good progress last year.
English

A sneaky blow here for MSU.
A team that has been lacking shooters the past few years now likely to lose one of their only outside threats.
They definitely need some activity in the portal here soon.

NEWS: Michigan State guard Divine Ugochukwu entered the @TransferPortal before last night’s deadline, his representatives at WME told @On3. The 6-3 sophomore scored 23 points against Penn State this season and the Spartans went 11-1 in games where Ugochukwu was a starter. He will be entering the portal with a ‘Do Not Contact’ tag, per WME. on3.com/college/michig…

@Graham_Couch Good article Graham. There's some people that need to do their HW on MSU's past season shooting wise/offensively, etc and what they're returning/bringing in player wise, before commenting 😂

Tom Izzo and Co. have put themselves in a great spot. Even if that’s hard to see through the confetti and applause showering a rival who’s just won the national championship.

@bigku82 @H57S60206 @Graham_Couch lol. MSU shot over 36% from 3pt land. 4th in the BIG/ Top 50th nationally. The whole can't shoot isn't factual at all. Not to mention they were a top 25 offense in kenpom. MSU did lose some guys, but they also get to bring in a lot of talent and bring back a lot of firepower
English

@H57S60206 @Graham_Couch If fears Carr and ward start or are counted on for major contributions. That’s 2 guys who can’t create their own offense and one that can’t shoot. You might have a more athletic front court but you lost your glue guys. Built to score 65 a game
English

@RandyR97170706 @971theticketxyt Ward was fine this year and helped at plenty of times even with the wrist injury. Center and power forward minutes weren't the problem that held this team back. It was the shooting guard spot and Fears not having a true back up pg after divine went down. Fears was gassed vs UConn
English

@Choops15805778 @971theticketxyt They needed another quality center. Cooper/Kohler at the 4/5 cannot play all 40 minutes. Ward was not ready as a Freshman. I am not saying Cooper was the problem.
English

@RandyR97170706 @971theticketxyt They had Carson Cooper lol, they weren't getting a center, nor did they need one. There's a reason only 4 coaches have been to more final fours then Izzo, it's not that easy. Not to mention, he's been right there the last few years. Wild takes lol
English

@971theticketxyt Sadly, this is a fair question. A strong center from the portal the last two years and MSU probably has one or two FFs. Also, why doesn’t Izzo have grad assistants aggressively helping to decide a challenge? Does he think that is somehow beneath him?
English

@971theticketxyt Is this a real question?? MSU won the big by 3 games last year, made an elite eight and has been to the sweet 16 3 out of the last 4 years. Of we all want to get to a final four and win a championship. I think people continue to fail to realize how hard that actually is. See Duke
English

@TaylorBradley54 @BleedGreen_MSU @SpartanHoops_DK @Jasiah_Jervis Yea because that's happened so much in the izzo era lol
English

@BleedGreen_MSU @SpartanHoops_DK @Jasiah_Jervis How long till he gets sniped from the program or transfers
English

@B0Blue9 @BleedGreen_MSU @Jasiah_Jervis Yea because " Izzo's structure" really seemed to destroy that same thing for Jase Richardson last year...
English

@BleedGreen_MSU @Jasiah_Jervis Don’t worry, Izzo’s “structure” will destroy that creativity in a month or two.
English

@moore_kobe24 @detxspartan @CBKReport Bro this is where you gotta remove the fandom. First of all, all of Izzo's success before 2010 counts too. It doesn't just disappear for the sake of your argument lol. And if you don't think that Izzo is great then you're essentially saying that Bo, Carr or Jim weren't great
English

@detxspartan @CBKReport The difference is Michigan isn’t a basketball school. Tom izzo is deemed as a messiah. When he’s very clearly not

@TylerCBBandCFB @michsthoops @CBKReport He's shooting the ball well. I've said the whole time he's a good shooter lol, no one has disputed that.
And he was due after his shooting the first 3 games. Happy for him

@Choops15805778 @michsthoops @CBKReport Stirtz already has more then Fears did yesterday AND ITS BEEN 1 HALF 😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂
English

@TylerCBBandCFB @michsthoops @CBKReport I did. I'd prefer my sentences sound coherent and make sense. Try it sometime brother 😉
English

@Choops15805778 @michsthoops @CBKReport I thought you’d at least try to tell me I’m wrong( which I’m not). It’s okay you’ll get em next time!

@TylerCBBandCFB @michsthoops @CBKReport Learn how to write a proper sentence, with proper grammar before responding to me again little boy. Good luck spreading your college hoops expertise on here😂😂

@Choops15805778 @michsthoops @CBKReport Go on and get you don’t even know the offense your coach is known for and runs and youve been a fan all your life. Stirtz>Fears. Me>You.
