Big Ten hoops analyst expects a 'breakout season' for MSU starting PG Jeremy Fears Jr.
Is Michigan State point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. in for a breakout season? One Big Ten basketball analyst has already called his shot for this outcome.
Former Purdue star and current Big Ten Network analyst Rapheal Davis believes Fears is in store for a breakout season in 2025-26. On Wednesday morning, Davis sent out a simple post on social media platform X: "Jeremy Fears Jr. - Breakout Season."
Check out the post from Davis below:
Fears stepped in as the Spartans primary staring point guard this past season after suffering a season-ending injury in the middle of his Freshman campaign. Fears started all 36 of the Spartans' games this past season, averaging 7.2 points, 5.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game. Fears also became one of the clear leaders for Michigan State and was critical beyond the stat sheet in the Spartans winning the Big Ten title and reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
There are parts of Fears' game that will need to improve during this offseason -- primarily his shooting from mid-range and outside. But if he can improve upon that part of his game, I too would expect a breakout season from Fears next year. It will be needed if Michigan State is going to contend for another Big Ten title.

Texas wins over 5-Star edge, but Texas A&M's recruiting momentum holds strong
As the saying goes, 'You can't win them all.' Texas A&M missed out on five-star edge rusher Richard Wesley out of Los Angeles, California, who shut down his recruitment after an official visit to Texas. If we're being honest, the Aggies were never truly in the running for Wesley. He took 10 visits between Oregon and USC, with Texas A&M managing just a single unofficial visit back in January. Wesley had a viral moment jumping into a pool with Oregon head coach Dan Lanning after committing to the Ducks, only to decommit two weeks later, hilariously. While a high-profile out-of-state recruit like Wesley choosing Coach Lanning wouldn't exactly shake things up in Aggieland, it's a different story when that level of talent commits to your in-state rival. That opens the door for serious social media banter and, more importantly, bragging rights in the recruiting rankings. As it stands, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko is on a recruiting heater, with the Aggies soaring to the No. 2 spot in the 2026 class rankings. Meanwhile, the Longhorns have entered the top 10 after two significant commitments. With early signing day just over five months away, every recruiting win—or loss—carries added weight. While missing out on Wesley wasn't a surprise, the momentum Elko is building in College Station is undeniable. The Lone Star rivalry is heating up, and both teams are racing toward December with something to prove.
