According to Sam Webb, Tyus Battle jumped Josh Langford for the small forward spot. He still thinks Langford could end up here if someone leaves early.  Langford had Michigan and Florida (before Donovan left) as his top two schools. Now it shows Kentucky and Michigan as his top two schools and he may end up at Kentucky by default as strange as that sounds.

Thad needs to realize there are scholarship limits but I understand his concern when we are only #2 in the nation in 2016. We got passed by Virginia for God's sakes and all Beilein does is sit on his ass.

WE .........DON'T.........HAVE...........SPACE..... we really don't have space for a PG which is the #1 remaining priority but will find it via early entry/transfer/ or post-grad year for one of our 16s. The only reason we are keeping in touch with Langford is that he was plan 1A or 1B for PF before we filled it. At least when you are bitching about FB recruiting you have some basis in reality.

We offer tons of people that don't visit for football and even had one commit I believe. Is harbaugh wrong then? It just seems like you're limiting your options when you're so particular that you lose all of the best players.

Hoiberg is supposedly interested in jumping to the NBA, so that may eliminate ISU from contention. However, it seems the consensus is that he is going to either UK or MSU.

Would love to have him, but man do we desperately need a point guard in that class. If we've only got room for one spot, I'd think Beilein is putting full court press on Winston.

For what it's worth, Jamal Murray (a combo guard who is arguably the best scorer in HS, regardless of class) also has Michigan in his Top-5, and he's from Kitchener, which is very close to Michigan.

 

I don't think he ends up at UM (Oregon & UK are supposedly the favorites, but we all know to take that w/ a grain of salt), but he is from Kitchener, ON, which is close to the Detroit-area (relative to the other schools he's considering), and obviously being close to home is of some concern to him, because MSU is also in his top 5.
