Didn't Fears commit for next year though? He only left after he reclassed to this year.That is not accurate.
Fears committed on 1/22/2024, Boswell committed 4/14/2024, and KJ committed 5/28/2024
So we had Fears first and then Underwood chose to recruit over him. I'm sure there were personal issues like Fears wanted x, but this was a choice Underwood made knowing it would impact Fears.
Looking at their stats thus far:
Fears - 17.9 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 4.6 apg, 2.3 spg, 3.9 topg, 49.6/34.1/85.9
KJ - 16.1, 6.1, 5.6, 1.4, 4.0, 46.9/42.0/84.2
Boswell - 10.1, 4.1, 3.4, 0.9, 1.7, 36.0/20.2/71.4
No way to sugar coat it, Boswell's shooting has been a major disappointment. He was much better at Arizona, so hopefully that comes around. I very much wanted Boswell and KJ has been as good as Fears, but fact remains, Fears was committed 3 months before either of the others came on board.
I'd imagine Fears may have some ambition concerns, because if you questioned his talent, then I'd question your evaluation skills. It was a bit strange that he ended up at Oklahoma. But for guys that want to go straight to the NBA, getting 30 mpg and a starting role out of the gates is a big deal.
I watched the from ~5 mins left in game to 1 min left. Fears had about 4 bad turnovers during this time. Michigan had come back during this time and taken the lead, obviously. Turned it off cause I thought the game was done. Also saw only 1 Fears bucket, so I missed all the good stuff apparently.
I will still call Jeremy a friend of ILL since he had major contribution to one Michigan loss.
KJ and possibly Kylan may be in NBA next year. Welcome home Jeremiah![]()
Obvious block/trip. Blind refsXavier just got robbed big time vs Marquette
Other than Ohio State and the cupcakes, their wins and losses are all within five points. Really interesting when you see who they've played, they seem to be stuck playing up or down to their competition.Rutgers loses to Princeton
game lead changed 3 times in the last 10 seconds.Rutgers loses to Princeton
I don’t even know if they’ll make the tournament this year. 7-4 and currently 85 in NET. They do have a Q1 win (currently 1-3), but they also have a Q3 loss, which essentially nullifies that.Other than Ohio State and the cupcakes, their wins and losses are all within five points. Really interesting when you see who they've played, they seem to be stuck playing up or down to their competition.
two refs staring right at it... atrocious.Obvious block/trip. Blind refs
However bad I felt post-Tennessee at least we were competitive. The fact that it exposes Purdue is icing on the cake.Purdue is just getting owned by Auburn.
I know Auburn is good but Purdue just wasn’t that good and appears like a like a mid major playing a buy game. The Way you make it sound like Auburn was 4-5 times better than Tennessee that we played.My point is that Auburn can be good and at the same time Purdue can show up with a mediocre effort.Auburn just did this to tO$U a couple of days ago. Sadly, they are very, very good. The SEC is just loaded. And I think the Big Ten is very, very mediocre this year.
