Kentucky appears unlikely to land Jeremiah Fears

The Wildcats are not expected to make a major push for Fears.

According to Tipton...

USC and PROV aren't expected to be legitimate options either. Oklahoma though might be big player. ASU might be making a push as well.

Who knows where this is going...

Sounds like the lower tier of power schools. If he does well, I bet he transfers after a year.

Depends on the year...he's a top 35ish player, not sure why he would go to a lower tier school...

Fantasy:

I know it will never happen, but once I really want to see a team sell out with a full court 2 full line system where the other team must earn every point from the foul line or on contested jumpers. No open shots. Use 45 fouls if necessary. Wear the opponent and the refs into submission. This could be that team. Everyone would hate them as they lift the trophies at the end of the season. Glorious!!

I think we tried this once against Arizona....50+ fouls lead to 40+made FT;s for the Cats ( can't remember the year) and a L for the beloved.....no Thanks!!

Playing time. Getting the ball in his hand and be allowed to do what he wants?

Obviously the big schools don't think he's ready for that type of role as a reclass so he will go to the lower tier of power schools.

Similarly Jayden Epps transferred to a terrible Georgetown team where he could put up an incredibly empty 18 pts on as many shots as he wanted without being being benched for it.

He hasn't been on the market long enough to decide his tier...Epps is not similar he was a sophomore in college at Georgetown and Fears is still in high-school...

This would make sense if Bam Bam was disappointing in the early scrimmages and our coaching staff didn't have confidence in him, but I don't buy into that Sleepers Media narrative. So who knows? Maybe we just have a bunch of crazy donors who are willing to open their wallets now before the NIL market gets more regulated.

Sleepers are so overrated. Don’t get why people think their opinions are important. Crazy youngsters.
