Ked's Recruiting Roundup: 2025 PG Fears De-commits From Illini
July 1st, 2024
By Kedric Prince - IlliniGuys Director of Recruiting
Champaign, IL - Early this afternoon, IlliniGuys learned that 2025 point guard Jeremiah Fears decommitted from Big Ten champion Illinois and has re-opened his recruitment.
The 6-foot-3 guard Joliet native, who currently plays at Compass Prep in Arizona, has been weighing this decision for several weeks, apparently right after he spent time at the Ubben Basketball Complex on campus working out and scrimmaging with would-be future teammates Ty Rodgers and Kylan Boswell, among others.
His father Jeremy Fears Sr. emphasized the decision was not a reflection on the university. “I want people to know, and this is factual, my son opening up his recruitment has absolutely nothing to do with Illinois itself, the school, or the staff. Right now, we’re just looking to explore future opportunities,” he said.
