#1 overall player Jalen Duren expected to reclassify from '22 to '21
Think he’s from the Philly area
BRING HIM HOME COACH JUWAN HOWARD!
It's about damn time we had ANOTHER Jalen in the program.
/I know DJ Wilson technically qualifies.
This sounds like a...I want to go to college for a year and I want to go pro.
Why don't I say screw high school and go to college for what would've been my senior year...THEN go pro.
That said, I think this hurts Michigan because he's not coming to back up Hunter.
Clingan will gladly do it, his dad has said so...Duren is a starter. Goodbye, IMO.
I disagree.
Jalen Duren can EASILY start as our #4. And we would DOMINATE on the inside by bullying opponents.
With Hunter, Jalen and Moussa, I don’t see how anyone could score on us from within 15 feet of the basket.
How many teams rely on scoring in the paint?
A good shooting Michigan team from the past 10 years would light that lineup up and pray for the best on the defensive boards.
Maybe it turns into that same game we played against UK in the tournament and this team could win, but quiet as kept, that Harrison twin knocking down the 3's is what won them that game. Not Randle destroying us.
He absolutely could. But you now have no spacing offensively.
At the same time, who gives a damn, he's the #1 player in the country.
I said he wasn't starting over Hunter. Never said anything about him playing the 4. But if that's the route you want to go, Juwan could make it work, you can probably even ride it to a Final Four.
With no true backup 5, in your scenario. Start him at the 4 and make Johns the first sub off the bench. Then you can sub Duran for Dickinson and have a true C in the game (which Diabate is not).
