Hopefully Howard can lock him down. We really need 1-2 players for this 19-20 season. Missing out on Wilson, this one is a must! This next year is so important. Howard is offering some big names, and think some have serious interest in 20 class. However, this first year of seeing how he coaches and how well they play could influence everything for 2020 recruits. Franz is a huge piece. Hopefully he sees that Michigan can help him get to the nba.
Geh Blau!
Go where? Or are you just cheering me on?
Wasn't this always the case?
According to article, nobody really knew where UM stood after JB left. This is first real public article claiming they are still alive.
Your title says he is deciding "soon", but I see no mention of it in the tweet. How soon? Where are you getting this info?
Considering that he took the college boards last week, I think it's been fairly common knowledge that M remained in the running.
A number of other schools contacted Franz after Beilein left. It's newsworthy that he shot them all down.
So how soon? We knew that is down to German pro-team And Michigan....I feel like the title of the thread is misleading
When his German teams playoffs are over. Could be as soon as 6/23 if they lose.
Once Franz finds out Moritz got drafted last night by the Red Wings, he's ours!
That's only your Seider of the story.
Just do it!
Camp Zanderzohn vill puhmp *CLAP* you uhp!
A certain b-ball insider on 247 may be hinting this one is heading towards good news. I say “may be” because he doesn’t mention Wagner, just that a ‘19 class addition is looking likely.
Side note on Wagner. He got the start last night in the league finals game 2. He normally doesn’t play all that much. He went 100% from the field leading Alba in scoring with 14 in front of over 14000 people.
I'm not sure if I should downvote this or not.
Do it. Not that I think this post should be downvoted. I'm just a shit-starter.
I went ahead and did it. I wouldn't have done it If you hadn't said anything.
Good thing Poole was drafted 1st round and Iggy mid 2nd. Looks good for us to Franz and shows that coming to Michigan will get him to the next level
If Poole and Iggy both went undrafted I bet it would've heavily influenced him to stay in Europe
Don’t think it’d really have any influence. The guy that recruited and developed those players is gone. What will get Franz to Michigan is his brother’s experience in college, Saddi Washington and the University of Michigan.
Exactly. There's no reason at all to think that going to Michigan under a whole new coach, offense would help his chances of getting up to the NBA. Unless you're saying there's something in the water.
I mean we do have the great lakes....
Then of course there is Flint....
He should choose Michigan because we have a good fuckn baseball team.
I doubt if Franz lacks for insight or good information where such matters are concerned.
This year is really not that important. The really important year will be Howard's third. That's when we'll start to see his real impact on this program, once the team is mostly his, and not Beilein's. Really good results in Howard's third and fourth year will erase whatever happened in the first two, but if we lapse in years 3 and 4, it won't matter how well Howard did his first two years.
Every bleeping year is important. It was important that JB was able to get Novak and Stu as grinders to start, but that he was able to get Morris for year two to start the PG trend. And if UM is to maintain its current level, or barely drop off, then it is important to get a guy who can enter the rotation this year like Iggy did last year.
Bajema could very well be that guy. He’s got all the tools to be a success here. On the other hand, I would love to get Franz. If he’s anything like his brother’s personality it will be fun to watch. His three point shooting would be a huge boon to our offense.
I think he'd get more NBA exposure in the U.S. He'll probably go Blue. That and combined with Mo's probable influence I think will sway him the college route.
I'm guessing that bagmen are involved.
If you are speaking of luggage and valet service at the airport you may be right.
I'm suggesting that we're in a recruiting battle involving an entity that might be able to offer the recruit financial incentives if he were to participate on their behalf in the upcoming seasons.
Hab is correct.
His mother was send a M cotton T-shirt through underground sources......
That should do it.....
Come on Franz! Just do it!!
September soon
or
Monday soon?
Seems like within 10 days soon.
