Jeremy Fears is headed to Overtime Elite. I don't think Izzo is happy about it.

Glad we can save ourselves from any future hand-wringing over Fears and whether we played our hand there correctly.
Excuse my ignorance but what is wrong with it?
They can do this and maintain college eligibility
They still maintain college eligibility and many other high rated prospects are also doing it

Xavier Booker (#3 in '23 and once an Illini prospect before we seemingly pulled) picks up a crystal ball to MSU...

True. But the incidence of kids going to college after being in Overtime Elite seems to be significantly less than those who aren't in OE. Granted, since OE in new, the sample size is insufficient. And other factors are in play too (e.g., bigs v guards).
Any update on where Amani might be taking his last official visit? Or nothing new to report?
Amani starts an OV to Miami on 7/31. Pretty much a courtesy visit as he has relatives there. Probably down to Maryland, PSU and Illinois. Hearing 2 commitment dates.....soon after Miami visit and secondly, mid September.

Miami, this weekend. That's what's scheduled, anyway.
Oh yeah, and of course it would be hilarious if Fears never ends up at MSU. Just wouldn't lock that in yet but for pure comedic factor it would be great
He's maintaining his college eligibility ... But personally, I'll be surprised if Fears ever makes it to East Lansing
Izzo is probably going to reel in Xavier Booker and Devin Royal though ...

Honestly, he just wasn't that good ... Definitely wasn't a standout IMO
Good info TC ...
I can confirm that Miami is nothing but a courtesy visit and a free trip down to FL for Amani and his family ... If Caputo were still at Miami, they'd probably be in contention ...
He is down to those 3 (MD, ILL, PSU) but it is between 2 ...
I have been told commitment after the Miami visit sometime in the first couple weeks of August but we all know those things are subject to change ...
Jeremy is nice player but I don't think he is remotely ready for the NBA. He needs couple years in college and to develop an outside shot.
I watched LaLuminere game on ESPN last spring
1. he is small for the NBA
2. he showed no outside shot - drove to the hoop every time
3. he did not play PG. The SR 5 star going to ND was the PG.
