Guard Jeremiah Fears, among the top players in the 2025 recruiting class, announced on social media he is decommitting from Illinois and reopening his recruitment.
Fears is a 6’3 four-star guard who comes in at No. 32 in 247Sports composite class rankings. Initially from Joliet, IL, Fears is playing at Compass Prep High School in Arizona, and told reporters back in May he was still undecided about staying in the 2025 class or attempting to reclassify to start college in 2024.
The Illini have an open scholarship but a crowded guard rotation that includes Ty Rodgers, Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn, and Arizona transfer Kylan Boswell. If Fears is wanting to play big minutes right away in the 2024-25 season, reopening his recruitment is a logical decision.
Fears chose Illinois out of a top five that included Kansas, Ole Miss, Providence, and Michigan, although the 6’3 guard indicated his recruitment at this time is wide open.
It is also worth pointing out that Fears’ older brother, Jeremy, plays for Tom Izzo and Michigan State.

Civil liberties advocates have some major concerns about that idea.In surveillance videos of crimes being committed, the perpetrators are often wearing masks over their noses and mouths. In many cases, the coverings help hide the faces and identities of those...
