Growing up in Southwest Virginia, I heard adults say that the same people who welcomed Jesus on Palm Sunday were shouting "Crucify Him" less than a week later. We don't know if they were the same individuals, but the principal makes a point that unfortunately, General Hospital actress Tabyana Ali is experiencing.

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.

Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.
