Brad thinks a lot of things …

I think Butler, Fears, Morez is a solid class … Not great, but solid … We like to spend $$$ in the portal … Limits what we spend on HS kids …

I do not understand why IU is absolutely dominating us in recruiting but that’s a whole different conversation …

Does that open the door for two Fears on the roster in 24?

Also thinking through the equipment manager nightmare of how to handle the jerseys having two players named Jerem Fears.

Fears is killing it up at MSU right now … Looked better than their veteran guards when I was up there to watch …

Izzo thinks he’s got that “it” factor … Kid is a leader … It comes natural to him … He might fight with his teammates but he does it trying to win and I’d rather see that than the BS we dealt with last year … Part of being a leader is being combative …

IMO - will be a big miss for Brad … Should’ve taken him …

Fears more of a PG or CG?

For Brad … He’d play the Ayo role … More CG until the end of game to conserve energy then let him run offense … With obviously a few plays of him at PG mixed in if there’s a break and we can draw something up (and those plays BETTER show improvement this year) … Sick and tired of chucking contested 3s after we’ve had time to draw something up …

Yes … We would’ve taken him over Butler … He didn’t wanna come …

Yes … But they play different positions …

Absolutely not … Mid major talent right now … But he's a dawg … So much Feliz to his game and maybe when he’s an upper class men … We get him out of portal but he needs to develop more …

everything I have seen Butler is list as a CG - but saw a recent story that listed him as a PG. Picking up a PG/CG is a good choice.

thoughts from others who have seen him play?
