AZ Compass junior Jeremiah Fears is taking his talents to Team USA this summer before joining the Illinois Fighting Illini
Five-star Illinois Fighting Illini commit Jeremiah Fears is taking his talents to Team USA this summer as a member of the U18 group.
Fears announced the commitment on Instagram Tuesday morning with the caption, "Honored and Blessed." He is no stranger to playing with Team USA, winning gold medals at the 2022 FIBA U17 World Cup and 2021 FIBA Americas U16 Championship. The junior at AZ Compass was a major reason for the team's 20-5 record this season. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 14.2 points and 2.5 steals in 13 games. Here's a scouting report on Fears from Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports.
"Fears is the younger brother of Michigan State point guard Jeremy Fears but plays an entirely different brand of basketball. He is a smooth and confident scorer who has no problem finding his own offense within the flow of a game,""A combination guard with a score-first mindset, Fears is at his best in a secondary ball-handling role where he can primarily focus on making shots and creating for himself off the bounce.
Illinois' season was brought to a close in the Elite Eight by the reigning champion UConn Huskies. Guard Terrence Shannon Jr. is much to thank for the postseason push, as he averaged roughly 34 points in the NCAA and Big Ten Tournament. Fears' commitment to the Fighting Illini makes sense because Shannon is a projected lottery pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.Anthony Pasciolla is a sports writer who has contributed to FanNation's Inside the Heat since June 2023.
