Hoops Hello: David DeJulius Comment Count

Brian

Michigan's picked up their first 2018 commit, in-state PG David DeJulius. This is an old-school Beilein commit: early and somewhat unheralded, though he is a four-star on ESPN. Most other places have him a three star around #150. This courtship was a quick one, as he was just offered three days ago after Beilein saw him blow the doors off:

Following Saturday’s 98-49 win over Maryland-Eastern Shore, Michigan coach John Beilein would’ve been hard-pressed to witness a better offensive performance.

But hours later, Beilein watched Detroit East English Village junior point guard David DeJulius put on a show with 46 points on 13-for-17 shooting, including 9-for-11 on 3-pointers, in a 79-63 win over Macomb Dakota at Southfield A&T High’s “Battle of the Best” holiday tournament.

That got him his offer and he wasn't long in accepting it.

Ace will have a fuller post tomorrow, when the impending announcement of FL LB Jordan Anthony doesn't overlap.

This indeed is a "classic Beilein recruit", however I would always love to see more "Top End" dudes. That said, let's see how he develops before passing judgement.

Damn, that boy shot 100% in that highlight video.

But in all seriousness, he has that wicked shot-put floater that only one can only develop by living with a ball in your hand your whole life. I loved it.

Nothing better than seeing a kid commit that has always wanted to come to Michigan. He had a huge smile on his face in the commitment video. Go Blue!

Haven't been able to watch a game since the acc challenge loss. Glad to see nothing has changed. Irvin is still horrendous with his shot selection and Duncan still can't play a lick of defense
