Beilein's at it again. (James Blackmon Jr)
Another home visit tonight, maybe another big time commitment to follow. It sounds very promising. http://www.umhoops.com/2013/10/02/recruiting-james-blackmon-jr-nearing-decision-other-notes/

Robinson and McGary are more likely to be here as juniors than Austin Hatch is to be here on a basketball scholarship and not a medical hardship.
Counting McGary and Robinson on board (which they probably won't be but injuries and sophomore regressions can happen), there is one scholarship left in this class.
2014 - 2: Doyle, Chatman
2013 - 3: Walton, Irvin, Donnal
2012 - 5: Stauskas, Albrecht, LeVert, Robinson* and McGary*
2011 - 1: Biefeldt
2010 - 1: Horford

it's zero bc of Chatman's commitment, but JB is recruiting like GRIII and McGary are declaring for the draft after this season. Technically it's zero but it's really 2.
October 2nd, 2013 at 10:54 PM ^
who we have looked at as a possible backup plan, was offered today by MSU.
October 2nd, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
They come in pairs?
October 2nd, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
Blackmon is "arguably the top shooter in the entire class of 2014."
Um.... yes please.
October 2nd, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
October 2nd, 2013 at 11:27 PM ^
To have the top shooter in America in Beilein's style of offense would be crazy.
October 2nd, 2013 at 11:30 PM ^
October 3rd, 2013 at 1:47 AM ^
Him and Stauskus together would cause a lot of issues.
October 2nd, 2013 at 11:29 PM ^
October 2nd, 2013 at 11:29 PM ^
No commit from Blackmon during tonight's visit from #Michigan, so those of you waiting up can get some sleep now. Lol

how most sources have Chatman going to Arizona?

October 3rd, 2013 at 12:27 AM ^
Am I reading too much into that tweet, or is BA saying that we ain't getting him?

can't wait to see how he acts when we face him next year without Cody Zeller and Oladipo.
Even sweeter if we can swipe blackmon

but my brother in law is a coach for a big east team and he texted me last night that our message boards may "light up tonight" but didn't want to ruin the surprise.
FWIW, he told me bluiett was a ucla lock well before he committed.
Pre-submit edit, I just texted him and he said Blackmon wasn't the surprise...he says tune in tonight around 6 pm.
October 3rd, 2013 at 10:42 AM ^
Grantham, possibly?
October 3rd, 2013 at 10:50 AM ^
His decision is set for tomorrow.
October 3rd, 2013 at 10:42 AM ^
Well, right or wrong, you've just made our mornings more interesting.
October 3rd, 2013 at 11:10 AM ^
Grantham it is, then
October 3rd, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
October 3rd, 2013 at 4:59 PM ^
That's what this is about.
October 3rd, 2013 at 11:08 AM ^
If we get Blackmon, damn. That's 3 top notch classes in a row with us looking good on quite a few 2015 prospects (plus our ability to find sleepers/be on guys before everybody else ie McGary, GRIII, Chatman etc). Michigan basketball looks here to stay (not that I doubted that before, but this looks like verification to me).
October 3rd, 2013 at 11:38 AM ^
says not grantham either.
maybe izzo is retiring.
October 3rd, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
but that's not the surprise.
so that's like finding your christmas gifts beforehand only to get a better one you weren't counting on day of?
October 3rd, 2013 at 11:49 AM ^
Just ask him to spoil the surprise...it's only 6 hours away anyway.
October 3rd, 2013 at 1:20 PM ^
October 3rd, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
Must be booker then. Glad that is settled.
October 3rd, 2013 at 11:47 AM ^
Maybe Jalen Brunson? Although that's based on zilch other than no 2014 guys seems to fit and good-but-no-insider vibes on his recruitment. After all, his dad was an NBA player -- those guys tend to mesh with our staff. Plus, Illinois got a top 2014 PG and they were thought to be our major competition. Just to add total internet speculation to unverified speculation, though I hope it's all true.
