Michigan State basketball opened its trip to Spain with a thrilling victory over the Madrid All-Stars.

The Spartans led most of the game but needed strong play from point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. in the final minutes to hold off a comeback attempt by the Madrid All-Stars. The final score was 94-87.

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.

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.
