In what would have been a kick to the nuts if he left Fears makes a smart decision for MSU
===
The single most important question of Michigan State’s offseason has been answered: Jeremy Fears Jr. is coming back for his junior season.
Fears, 21, withdrew from the NBA Draft process before Wednesday night’s NCAA deadline. The Spartans’ record-setting point guard is coming back for another run as the Spartans eye a trip to the Final Four at Ford Field.
Amari Allen withdrew for Alabama. That’s big for us next season.
On a side note, cup sales in the B1G just increased exponentially.
Momcilolvic is supposedly getting $7m and Louisville is trying to sway him away from Kentucky. How much does Louisville have to spend? That would be $17m on just three players.
As much as boosters are willing to give. There is no limit.
They are going to be above what Michigan and Arizona paid their 2025-26 teams combined.
Is it Yum Brands money?
Yessoufou got $7m from Louisville. If Koa came back and made himself a FA (he didn’t go into the portal so he couldn’t) he probably could have pulled $8.5m. The money is getting wild. Ten figure deals incoming.
The strategy if you are just trying to maximize earnings potential is to enter the portal and declare and come back when there is late desperation.
And its a joke. No matter what school. No rules equals a big mess.
Big10 players have Tears from Fears.
That’s YesohF.U. money.
