Title says it all. Sam Webb just went out to see Christopher play for his senior night this weekend so I'll link his article about that:

BALLZ ACROSS THE NOSE, OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
February 11th, 2020 at 2:06 PM ^
AM I ALLOWED TO WATCH CHRISTOPHER HIGHLIGHTS NOW!?!?
February 11th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
Only in small doses.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:20 PM ^
NO, wait until he is on campus! Like I am :P
February 11th, 2020 at 2:00 PM ^
Hmm I approve of this development
February 11th, 2020 at 2:00 PM ^
Omg you guys. Is this real life?!?!
February 11th, 2020 at 2:02 PM ^
Is this just fantasy?
Sorry couldn't help it
February 11th, 2020 at 2:08 PM ^
Caught in a landslide...of 5* recruits!!
February 11th, 2020 at 2:28 PM ^
No escape from mcdonald's all americans
February 11th, 2020 at 6:23 PM ^
Open your eyes, look up at the prize and see.
February 11th, 2020 at 7:34 PM ^
I have chlymidua
February 11th, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
It's Happening.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:10 PM ^
Obligatory
February 11th, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
MY BODY IS READY
February 11th, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
Actually, the title DOESN'T say it all because it doesn't tell us who the crystal balls are for.
February 11th, 2020 at 3:34 PM ^
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:44 PM ^
Oh man, that gif gives me chills. I was right there in front of him, directly where he's looking into the crowd. Glorious memories!
February 11th, 2020 at 2:54 PM ^
Me too. I love this gif. (As he was doing it, I thought, "Oh dam, he going to trip over that cord!!")
February 11th, 2020 at 2:04 PM ^
God......April can't get here soon enough. I can't handle the waiting. The waiting is the hardest part
February 11th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
Don't do me like that
February 11th, 2020 at 2:04 PM ^
I think this might be a pretty big deal.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:04 PM ^
I'm assuming this will help keep Isaiah Todd in the class, right?
February 11th, 2020 at 2:07 PM ^
Yes. Also on the recruiting round up yesterday, Webb said that Hunter Dickinson and Terrance Williams talk with Todd often and they're confident in him coming to Ann Arbor
February 11th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
We can have nice things!
February 11th, 2020 at 2:07 PM ^
I like Sam's Blue Ballz. Does this come with a gut feeling, also?
Awesome news!!!
February 11th, 2020 at 2:07 PM ^
If it happens, it will be weird to go back to the days when we have a shooting guard that can actually shoot (like consistently).
February 11th, 2020 at 2:24 PM ^
He's actually probably a poorer shooter than Eli (around 30-35%, so Simpson level, in HS/Circuit play). But 10x the athlete.
Shooting might be the one thing that holds us back next year.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:35 PM ^
Says on Max Preps that he is hitting 57% from 2 and 32% from 3 with a combined field goal percentage of 49%.
February 11th, 2020 at 5:49 PM ^
I was talking 3-point shooting. 32% is not great from the HS line.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:39 PM ^
We should have some decent balance if Franz can hit 40% along with Eli, DDJ and Johns hitting over 35% - assuming Livers heads to the NBA. That mix with the young talent constantly running to the rim will be a blast to watch.
February 11th, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
UM needs a guy that can get into the lane. They should have some decent spot up shooters that they can kick to next year even if Livers is the only elite one. Hopefully Wagner can get there
February 11th, 2020 at 2:08 PM ^
I might soil myself if both Christopher and Greg Brown sign for the good guys.
February 11th, 2020 at 4:14 PM ^
Username...checks out.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:08 PM ^
Sam tweeted that his pick "is different from most of the others." I don't follow things super closely, but I thought many people were leaning toward Michigan, no? That tweet made me think he was picking someone else (But I am not VIP, so I can't read the article.)
February 11th, 2020 at 2:16 PM ^
I took "is different from most of the others" as meaning the magnitude of what it would mean if we got him for the recruiting class and the outlook of the program
February 11th, 2020 at 3:15 PM ^
Sam is cautious about making his picks. I take it to mean he based his on solid information, not guessing based on things like Instagram posts or following the crowd.
February 11th, 2020 at 5:42 PM ^
Has anyone confirmed whether Josh Christopher has a son with a snapchat account...
February 11th, 2020 at 3:58 PM ^
Basically means it’s not a CB based on a gut feeling. Gut feeling = lock
February 11th, 2020 at 4:52 PM ^
Sam said the kid’s a pro already.
February 12th, 2020 at 4:58 AM ^
Just do the math. Sam's is the only VIP pick. 8 balls. Michigan 50% UCLA 50%. 4 balls to UCLA. 3 to Michigan. Obviously the Sam VIP pick is then Michigan
February 11th, 2020 at 2:24 PM ^
Woooooo!
February 11th, 2020 at 2:24 PM ^
Why does Henschke have to wait until Sam drops a Crystal Ball for him to do so?
February 11th, 2020 at 2:47 PM ^
Because usually the pair of balls drop together
February 11th, 2020 at 4:55 PM ^
This is more or less true, but in my experience one always drops a little further.
February 11th, 2020 at 2:51 PM ^
I'm assuming they both put in their crystal balls based off the same intel
February 11th, 2020 at 2:25 PM ^
I just went from six to midnight.
February 11th, 2020 at 3:15 PM ^
Pics or I don't believe ...
er ...
ok I trust you
