NORMAN, Okla. — On some nights, Jeremiah Fears looks like a future NBA star. On others, he looks like a true freshman who reclassified and is still figuring things out. Oklahoma's dynamic point guard didn't turn 18 until after he arrived on campus. Either way, he's moving too fast to dwell on his age.
