Ignas Brazdeikis Commits to Michigan
(via)
We all got in our cars after the podcast and couldn’t figure out why the bar broke out into a spontaneous OOOOOOOH CAAAAAANDA! This is why. Six-eight Not-Just-A-Shooter Iggy Brazdeikis is in the class:

Informative update tomorrow: We stand on guard for thee.

Go Blue. Welcome Iggy!
(Looking at 247, I noticed that another highly ranked target is likely going to Maryland or Louisville. How can any parent let their child go to Louisville at this point. Coach was buying prostitutes for the recruits. Unreal. I'm glad Michigan is focusing on guys who want to play for the cleanest coach.)
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
buy prostitutes for the parents too?
September 22nd, 2017 at 10:13 PM ^

Putting aside your knee-jerk negativity, your grasp of history is severely lacking.
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:28 AM ^
If I was a kid, I'd still consider Louisville provided they don't have any postseason bans (which I honestly don't know if they're facing). Pitino puts guys in the NBA and has a few rings. Yes, free prostitutes are bad. I don't know if 17-year old me necessarily said that though.

We should put Maizen on suicide watch...

Coach B putting together a real nice class.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:20 AM ^
I realize you are half kidding, but think about it---is there any reason to believe that he is not deliriously happy?
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:01 AM ^
September 24th, 2017 at 6:49 PM ^
Still no five stars.
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:27 PM ^
Welcome, Ignas!
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:30 PM ^
Welcome Iggy! You've made a great choice.
This a big recruiting win by Beilein. Excellent, excellent player coming into the perfect system for his skillset.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:11 AM ^
Absolutely tremendous get!!!! Arguably the biggest recruit since McGary - kid is a stud! His skillset is tailor made for JB's offense and he'll be a match-up nightmare from day one.
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:55 PM ^
He was ranked about the same as Iggy. Iggy does seem like a perfect fit. It'd be great if he can have that kind of impact.
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
We can raise the flag again.
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:57 PM ^
Nice.
September 23rd, 2017 at 1:26 AM ^
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:25 AM ^
Labas, eh?
September 23rd, 2017 at 1:29 AM ^
and recommend someone take out the Maize and Blue Canadian Flag, so thank you for that!!!
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:18 AM ^
Oh CANADA!!!
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:39 PM ^
This is great news, also gives me another excuse to get the Maize and Blue Maple Leaf out again
Now if we could just get that other kid from Misssissauga to commit :D
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:41 PM ^
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
September 22nd, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
OH YEAH!
Go Beilein! Go Blue! Go Ignas Brazdeikis! Go Nik Stauskas!
Who's got it better than us?!?!?! NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET SUBS!!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
September 22nd, 2017 at 10:12 PM ^
Nik Stauskas, only taller.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:45 AM ^
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:35 AM ^
Arvada Sabonis, only shorter, then?
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:15 AM ^
Sarunas Marciulionis, another Lithuanian. Has a much more physical and well rounded game than Nik did coming out of HS.
September 22nd, 2017 at 10:19 PM ^
September 22nd, 2017 at 11:20 PM ^
Others will think he sucks regardless. Guy could bring in five Magic Johnsons and you would hear how the class wasn't balanced.
September 22nd, 2017 at 11:34 PM ^

Nobody in their right mind hates JB. He has his critics, and he can be stubborn in the grandest tradition of German descent.
I think your comment is silly, but I upvoted it because it brings the issue to the surface. JB was one of the best coaches we ever had, and he came at just the right time for us. If there was one person who saved Michigan basketball (and it was many more than one), it would be JB.
Now, if every time he does something right, or has a victory, means to you (not just you, but the rhetorical you) that JB is above accountability or criticism, then you are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Iggy was a great get, and he will fit in here just fine, and if he proves to have Stauskus's talent, look out.
One more real dude in that class, and we are ready to roll again.
September 23rd, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
Title and ANOTHER Sweet 16 appearance Id argue we are already rolling
September 23rd, 2017 at 1:38 PM ^
My goals are set higher than that, though it was a great year.
September 22nd, 2017 at 11:42 PM ^

IIRC, there was a ruffle of concern about Moe Wagner's competence in English. Of course that concern turned out to be no problem. Will there be similar concern with Ignas's ability to speak American after all those years talking Canadian? How aboot it?
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:34 AM ^
This guy reminds me of a smoother skilled Chris Jent.
September 25th, 2017 at 1:11 AM ^
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:43 AM ^
this guy is good. do yourself a favor and check out his film. from what i saw, he basically played point-forward. he is a lefty with a great handle. can go coast to coast. his height and handle creates nightmares at the top of the key. he can shoot, drive and is also great at passing to guys cutting to the hoop or open on the perimiter.
awesome get!
