Sorry, don't know how to embed the actual tweet. He was choosing between going to college or going pro in Europe, sounds like he wants to come here to play college ball. Had some interest from Duke and UConn as well, per UMHoops.

Thank you sir
No problem.
For future reference (because I only learned this recently), simply copy the "Embed Tweet" url off of Twitter, click "Switch to plain text editor" here on MGoBlog, and paste.
It is incredibly simply once you figure out how to do it. Took me all of five seconds to figure out once somebody explained the process.
Just a tip:
Instagram is kind of tricky. Sometimes you have to uncheck the box that says "include caption" or it wont embed.
What Adidas taketh (closing AAU recruiting doors in America), it giveth (opening them up in Germany).
Adidas Next Generation Tournament (NGT)? So you're saying that he has experience playing in tear away jerseys? Sign him up.
He is a 2015 recruit, if anyone was wondering.
Yeah I should've included that. Updated.
I don't follow basketball recruiting very much, but I thought there weren't any scholarships for 2015? Because of the transfer? Is Beilein assuming LeVert leaves?
I believe Max Bielfeldt is not coming back for his 5th year. If Levert decides to leave, I think we have 2 open spots for 2015.
both cool.
Beilfeldt may not get a 5th year, the potential of LeVert leaving, and the potential of Hatch getting a medical hardship are all scholarship opportunities for this season. I think.
How good is he?
The long-lost fourth Plumlee brother. THERE ARE MORE OUT THERE.
opinion. The Plumlees have long heads. They are the Winkelvosses of college, now pro hoop. .Although the Plumlees must be of English origin, while the Winkelvosses. . . how did I get here.
Here's the UMHoops write up on him. Includes some scouting info. I can't find much else on him.

The German news source that reported that Beilein flew out to meet him described Beilein as a "coaching legend." I like the sound of that.
Goddamit. Your picture makes me chuckle every time.
One could probably fill an entire thread with funny pictures of Tom Crean.
There's one if Levert leaves which is probably going to happen. Two if Bielfeldt doesnt come back which I douct happens since he's been our best big this year.
The plain is for Max to explore his options. It is not set in stone that he won't come back.If Michigan doesn't land any recruits why wouldn't he come back.
Go back and listen again he doesn't say Max won't come back. He leaves the door open either way. If they do not find someone to fill his spot and he wants to come back they will let him.Why in the hell wouldn't they (Max>no one)Beilein wants to keep the door open for possible recruits or transfers but,not shut the door on max without knowing if they will land anyone. It really the best way to play it.
Did he get two senior days?
He actually got some minutes during that game. Unfortunately he was the only one on the team to not get any points, and had his only shot swatted pretty bad.
Box Score:

Highlights of the Alba v Spurs game. Wagner's 'highlight' is at 3:33
I'll take this to mean he's a better and more athletic version of a young Tim Duncan, only with a much better shot who can handle the ball better.
and their cameras suck winklevoss
He has a very slow release, first thing I noticed as well. But he can be coached to release faster. At 6'9, that's a challenge you accept.
Isn't a slow release less of a problem for someone as tall as him?
Whoa, the Burke Steal (tm) at 0:25. He'll fit right in.
Plus we know what his them music will be.
The Furtwängler recording? What a loser.
IKR?
gonna have to get creative to make a maize and blue version of the german flag.
I have a feeling that the Maize Rage may feel a bit uncomfortable waving a giant German flag. Can't quite put my finger on why, though...
It actually would give opposing coaches the chance to use Hochstetter's line - "There is something afoot here. I smell it!" every time Beilein put Wagner in the game.
In all seriousness, he could be an interesting addition to Beilein's offense. I do like that he seems to hunt high and low for potential contributors like this.
