I mean, it seems you know people who would know, so I am inclined to believe you.

Buzz on the street is that Fears will be a 24 at a school that has a stud with the same name as a poster on our board that meme's a lot.
I’ve heard Oklahoma with an early lead. I hope he’s getting a bag in which case I don’t begrudge him. If it’s true we probably won’t hear from him again until he enters the portal next spring.

If he can get a bag for reclassifying, then go for it. I don't expect he's physically ready, but if he was planning to leave early for the NBA anyway, no reason not to take money a year early.
This is a development year for him and he will likely get paid well to do so. I imagine we will keep it cordial and wouldn't mind him joining the team in 25-26 as planned if possible.

I wonder if Fears caught word of Jasper Johnson coming??
But there won’t be any good guards available in 2025 now. /s

I hope that’s because they’re feeling good about Jasper bc I’m not NOT heartbroken lol

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
I think he's a 2 year player, minimum. Very, very doubtful he's a one and done. Taking a bag and playing high D1 ball wins out over another prep year. WRT to this season, this is pretty close to a no op.

Dammit! A Fears and Pruman combo is going to be very good. It really, really is...Buzz on the street is that Fears will be a 24 at a school that has a stud with the same name as a poster on our board that meme's a lot.
He's going to Pru U???Buzz on the street is that Fears will be a 24 at a school that has a stud with the same name as a poster on our board that meme's a lot.
Where do we stand with Bryce Hopkins?Buzz on the street is that Fears will be a 24 at a school that has a stud with the same name as a poster on our board that meme's a lot.
One in the hand is worth two in the bush. I get why he wouldn't come as a 24, but there are no guarantees we get someone as good or better. But I sure hope we do.
It was clearly a joke..
Providence???Buzz on the street is that Fears will be a 24 at a school that has a stud with the same name as a poster on our board that meme's a lot.

And as the resident curmudgeon/voice of reason insider that's really saying something.
To break it down again…these are definitely the kind of things I can do without.Ugh, the hurting... Everybody wants to rule the world. I was head over heels for Jeremiah. It makes me want to shout, but at the end of the day, you just have to remember that people run in circles. It's a very, very mad world.

I will readily admit that, I too was head over heels…In fact, I might even shed a few tears for Fears if he bolts…but mainly I feel someone might need to offer some advice for the young at heart, here. I believe in our staff’s ability to do just that…and sow the seeds of love whenever possible. It might be a bummer; but this is certainly no tipping point.
Regarding Fears …
This has been the thought all along that he wanted to reclassify … It was not a secret … The NIL opportunity is too great to sit in HS for him and his family and I can respect that …
They also can read and hear that we have 5 stars coming to visit us … Jasper, Thomas and others …
This is simply a case of he wanted to re class and we got better players than him right now and he wouldn’t have a role … They offered him to enroll at mid year and get NIL and redshirt the spring like I reported here months ago and why Brad kept one scholarship open …
The family ultimately decided with how talented our roster is right now as well as how talented it’ll be next year … Jeremiah wouldn’t have the role they thought he once would … So they’ve decided to re class, get paid and get him to a better spot where his path to shots and a starting spot is a lot easier …
Wish the kid and family nothing but the best …
But we’ll be just fine …

I’m not trying to crap all over the guy, but if he is going to reclass, there are like 7-8 guys on this roster better than he is. Maybe more.
This is true …
Brad also didn’t want to hear the bull when he brought in someone better in 2025 class …
