Watch Jeremy Fears talk 8 assist performance

MSU PG Jeremy Fears talks 8 assist performance

Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo is handing the keys to the MSU team to redshirt freshman point guard Jeremy Fears, and he is ready to take them and run with it.

After an unfortunate shooting incident last winter, Fears has been working to get back to 100% health. He looks like he is getting to that point.

In MSU’s win over Ferris State, Fears scored 9 points while adding 8 assists to the ledger.

One Spartan listed among ‘preseason top 30 sophomores’ in college basketball list

Can you name which former McDonald’s All-American on the Spartans’ roster made the list?

One Michigan State player has been included in a preseason list of top sophomores entering the 2024-25 season. Can you name which former McDonald’s All-American it is?

Jeremy Fears Jr. was listed as the No. 19 player among best sophomores entering the 2024-25 college basketball season. He was the only Spartan to make the list, with many (including myself) wondering how fellow former McDonald’s All-American Xavier Booker wasn’t included.

Fears missed most of last season after experiencing an injury due to a gunshot while back home over the holidays. He is expected to be back to full strength by the beginning of the season and will battle with Tre Holloman for the starting point guard spot on the Spartans.

Check out the complete rankings from the College Basketball Report below:

Look at Jeremy Fears getting back in the gym, looking healthy

Jeremy Fears is starting to look like his old self again:

Michigan State basketball took a major hit in 2023-24 when reserve 5-star point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. was sidelined due to a shooting incident in his hometown on Christmas break. The injury prevented Fears from playing the closing months of the season.

Now, heading into the future, Tom Izzo hasn’t been shy that he is ready to give the keys to the program to Fears, although this will only work if Fears gets healthy and back to his normal self.

That doesn’t look to be a concern thus far, though, as Fears is back in the gym and showing off the progress he has made.

Michigan State basketball seeking redshirt for Jeremy Fears Jr.

Tom Izzo is making a play to get Jeremy Fears a redshirt for the 2023-24 season:

During his press conference ahead of the Spartans game against Iowa, Tom Izzo spoke to the media about his team. A part of Izzo’s press conference was speaking on true freshman point guard Jeremy Fears.

Fears, a former 5-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American, was having a solid true freshman season. It all came to a halt when Fears was shot in the leg upon returning home during Christmas break.

Unfortunately, the Spartans won’t be able to get Fears back on the court this season, and due to the awful circumstances in which the injury occurred, Izzo is in search of a redshirt for the freshman.

Tom Izzo gives high praise to MSU freshman guard Jeremy Fears during Big Ten Media Days

Newcomer Jeremy Fears has already proven a lot to Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo

Newcomer Jeremy Fears has already proven a lot to Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo.

At Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday, Izzo gave high praise to Fears — a former McDonald’s All-American who will be a freshman this season. Izzo said Fears is “one of the best leaders as freshman that I’ve had.” That’s saying quite a lot about Fears knowing the greats that have played for Izzo over the years.
