If he plays with the intensity of TF on the defensive end, then he will be a heck of a player. I'm not familiar with his dedication on the defensive end, but that is always my concern when talking about bringing in a highly touted freshman guard known for his offense. That said, after the Skyy/Epps fiasco, I assume Fears wouldn't come here if he didn't know he'll have to play his !!! off on D to see the floor.

Seen this kid play a few times. Know the school. He’s legit. Probably going prep/IMG route after this year or next.

Jimmy was a stone cold, baby faced killer. So is Khamenia.
Baby faced or not, staff isn't dicking around
Bryce Hopkins perhaps gets another year and healthy by 2nd semester...
Son finally scored too, what more is there for him to achieve as coach?I think it's funny that Izzo basically said he isn't going to retire because he enjoys coaching his son ... And his kid is out of eligibility after this year ...

Happy birthday, ol’ sport.
With him, as well as Hansberry and Ty back next year, no reason we can’t push similar rebounding results as this year.

How much of that is neck?
About 3
DGL, Moretti, and Fears are all smaller guards. Hawk is a unicorn not likely to be replaced with equivalent. Booty ball and switching will not work. It would appear to me that both offensive and defensive systems must change radically next year. Transfer portal could change that but which players fit next year could be dramatically different than the players that fit this year.
That is an extremely short neck, I'm just sayin'.
