Weekend Recap: Dylan Harper’s Heroics, Jeremiah Fears Rising, and Johni Broome’s Dominance

Locked On NBA Big Board - NBA Draft Podcast

In the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and James Barlowe break down the standout performances from the weekend in college basketball. The episode kicks off with an in-depth discussion of Dylan Harper, who delivered a game-winning shot against Seton Hall in another strong performance. In the second segment, the spotlight shifts to his teammate Ace Bailey, who impressed with an efficient first half but struggled from the free-throw line.

Later, Rafael offers a heartfelt apology to James for previously questioning his ranking of Oklahoma freshman Jeremiah Fears at No. 7 on his most recent Big Board. After watching Fears’ recent play, Rafael admits he now sees why James has him as a top-10 prospect.

The hosts then pivot to Auburn’s Johni Broome, who put on a dominant display against Ohio State with a 21-point, 20-rebound performance. In the following segment, they discuss Liam McNeeley’s career-high 26-point effort in UConn’s big win over Gonzaga. Finally, the episode concludes with a breakdown of Illinois freshman Kasparas Jakucionis, who had a solid outing in Illinois’ loss to Tennessee. Despite an off-shooting night, Rafael and James highlight Jakucionis’ ability to still leave an impact on the game.
