My former student, Jeremiah Fears, is crushing it for Oklahoma (he hit the game winner this week).

I'm very proud of the young man. I was hoping UK could get him in the portal after this season to be our third guard (he's close with Jasper Johnson and he also loves Mark Pope), but he might not be around next year if he keeps playing like this. He's now averaging 18 pppg, 4 rpg, and 5apg while shooting 50% from the field, 34% from three, and 86% from the foul line. He should be a senior in high school. He reclassified.

He hit a four-point play this week and scored 30 points for Oklahoma to take down Michigan. The young man is surpassing my expectations. We're all very proud of Jeremiah. Check out the last minute of this game:

I know me too! He isn’t on any mocks that I’ve found so far, but it’s way too early to tell. I’m kinda hoping he gets overlooked so we could have a shot to get him in the portal. He is a baller.
 
He had a great game but the foul call on the last 3 pointer was a BS call. There would have been no contact had he not thrown his hands and feet into the defender. That kind of crap drives me insane and refs calling it only contributes it happening more and more.

If you watch closely I thought the same thing. The second defender(guy to his right) hits his arm and that’s what they called I believe. I had to replay it a couple times because I thought he sold it at first too. Probably a little to close guarding when at worst he just tied the game.

Coach K was the first to teach this flop style maneuver and it worked his entire coaching career.

I did not watch closely enough to see if it was truly a foul, but I appreciated that the ref made the call before the ball went through the net (that was how it appeared on my phone). There did not seem to be any influence by whether it was made or missed. The leg buckle move after the shot, however, did have me skeptical.
