I don't believe I have heard anyone say he's a Day 1 starter. That lofty designation is reserved for Morez. But I have no doubt he'll be in the rotation. Not like our two current freshman guards.You know it’s so weird now. I don’t much get up for recruiting HS players anymore. It just seems unless they are just tremendous, the first school they attend will not be the one benefiting from them. It just seems it is easier to get high quality transfers and roll out an old team.
For those that know, is the younger Fears a “play first year” type (sorry just have not followed him or HS for that matter), and does Illinois have a shot over Kansas? Thanks all
Has Fears only taken an official visit to Providence? Is this an area of concern?

Orange helmet… Trilly says ILL
Where will Mr Booker be playing next season?Well, I guess now you've heard ... Fears and Morez both will start from Day 1 ... Part of the pitch was the ability for both of them to come in and play right away ...
You don't get these types of kids and sit them on the bench ... Unless you want them in the portal following the season ... (See: Tom Izzo & Xavier Booker)

We appreciate Trilly and his sources.....Trilly has good sources ...

Fears would be a pretty good start to our '25s.
top of our board, I reckon: Fears, Magwood, Love and possibly Alston
sitting pretty well with all these kids it seems. flippin' stoked!
And Moretti?Gonna be interested to see if they take Magwood now too. Good problem to have though. Fears is going to be a fantastic college player alongside Butler and DGL. Sure a transfer or two will factor into that as well
And Moretti?
Any shot at Fears bros given the recent incident and this news?Love, Magwood, and Alston are all toward the top of the list ... Brad has also really started to like Richardson ... Melvin Bell is also an option ...
Chester has been an absolute pitbull with Magwood ... I like our chances ... Even with Fears committed ...
I get tons of messages about Phoenix Gill ... Brad told him there is a spot for him if he wants it ... No guaranteed PT ... Come in and earn it ... Phoenix then went to the media to complain that Brad was not recruiting him hard enough ... Brad does not respond well to stuff like that ... And now the situation is what it is ...
Then the Illini don't need him. Since BU is trying to become elite, it's mind over matter--"we now don't mind, and you now don't matter." He had his chance. Move on!Love, Magwood, and Alston are all toward the top of the list ... Brad has also really started to like Richardson ... Melvin Bell is also an option ...
