Keep the 5 stars coming :) this seems like a recruitment we can win (Midwest kid, previous M fan + the Juwan factor)
October 25th, 2019 at 8:22 AM ^
If we start getting multiple 5 star basketball recruits we really will be a basketball school
October 25th, 2019 at 8:26 AM ^
Thanks.
October 25th, 2019 at 9:41 AM ^
You are very welcome
October 25th, 2019 at 9:09 AM ^
Wait. Are you saying that by bringing in 5-stars, Juwan is changing the tide of the rivalry. Will Michigan be able to sell jerseys in Ohio?
October 25th, 2019 at 9:42 AM ^
Im saying we take our football home and yell at them we will see you on the hard court.
October 25th, 2019 at 11:00 AM ^
At this point we are a basketball school with a good football team. I don't mean this as a dig, just that our BB success is greater at this point. I was not a real BB fan but Beilein cured that illness and I look forward to Howard continuing my addiction
October 25th, 2019 at 8:28 AM ^
This kid from southern Indiana (not far from Bloomington) grew up a Michigan fan thanks for the likes of Trey Burke. Momentum is a beautiful thing!
October 25th, 2019 at 8:29 AM ^
Can we get Trey Burke on campus to do his campus tour?
October 25th, 2019 at 8:36 AM ^
Sam Webb also reporting it’s possible Hunter Dickinson (4 star center) may be on campus again this weekend as his girlfriend is a track star being recruited by Michigan women’s track and is taking her OV. Nothing confirmed yet but would be a good think coming off his visit to Duke. Our recruits apparently thing we are still out in front for him, per Sam

Is he still 6-1 like his profile says? My god this kid is effortlessly dunking in traffic. Wonder what his vertical is.
October 25th, 2019 at 10:28 AM ^
6'5" with hair.

Anyone else shudder a bit at the "grew up a fan of Trey Burke" thing? I feel old?
October 25th, 2019 at 9:03 AM ^
Yes, yes I did.
October 25th, 2019 at 9:04 AM ^
Those words in quotes still do not register to me as real.
October 25th, 2019 at 9:16 AM ^
Um no, I don't feel old. I also grew up a fan of Trey Burke. Not his fault that I didn't decide to grow up until i was almost 30.
October 25th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
"Hi, I'm Juwan Howard."
"Oh man, my dad LOVES you!"
October 25th, 2019 at 10:58 AM ^
And thank G-d for it! It seems better than the alternative at this moment.
October 25th, 2019 at 11:54 AM ^
Geez, I grew up a Ricky Green fan. Now feel young!
October 25th, 2019 at 3:07 PM ^
And I grew up a Cazzie fan.
October 25th, 2019 at 9:07 AM ^
I hope they have the Trey Burke fatheads all over the place, a framed signed jersey or three up on the wall, and a huge mural of the clean block against Louisville.
October 25th, 2019 at 9:19 AM ^
Just take him on a stroll through Crisler so he can see the NPOY and all of Trey's hardware for himself.
October 25th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
Trey's face says future pro. Keith's face says future convict.
October 25th, 2019 at 9:21 AM ^
I thought I heard somewhere on this blog that he's contemplating reclassifying to the 2020 class, but Howard doesn't want him to. Any truth to this and is a potential deal-breaker?
October 25th, 2019 at 9:27 AM ^
that was reported on 247. basically that if we get Lander, Howard prefers that it be in 2021. no word on what we would do if he reclassified.
October 25th, 2019 at 9:45 AM ^
I think it was reported as "may be possible he could reclassify" but i don't think anything's been decided. I assume we've got Zeb slated as a PG, but I wonder if he's good enough as a 2 that he could slide over? Lander's the #1PG in his (2021) class and a top 15 overall so tough to say no to.
Once X is gone, other than DDJ and Brooks, it seems like everyone else we have is basically a 3, 4 or 5. Maybe you bring them both in the 2020 class and those four guys rotate through the point and at the 2?
October 25th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
This is when a Trey Burke signed The Shot pic should accidentally fall into his papers about admissions.
October 25th, 2019 at 10:16 AM ^
he needs to do something about that hair.
- Penn State alum
October 25th, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
He has really good body control on those layups, great passing instincts, and awesome ball handling skills and footwork. I just love his film. Hope we can land him.
October 25th, 2019 at 10:59 AM ^
Yes, please.
His drives are effortless, and he finishes smoothly with either hand. No idea if he can play defense (and I only spotted a couple perimeter shot attempts), but his hair alone should earn him a scholarship.
October 25th, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
He has the short shorts and the hair. How could he not play for Michigan?
