Derryck Thornton Jr. update. (very positive)

Five-star point guard Derryck Thornton Jr. 'loves' Michigan, considering early decision — UM Hoops.com http://teamstre.am/1mF2Xye Things are looking great to land this elite pg. What's even better is his ties with Battle who is atop our 2016 wing board. These two will make losing out on Josh Jackson very sustainable and continue the newfound tradition of ELITE guard/wing play in Ann Arbor. This could be huge for us down the road. Let's see if we can land him next week!

can't get Winston and battle. I wonder of this will be an offer them both see who commits first type thing we have been seeing. what happens if we get Coleman? Does that mean no Battle?

"John Beilein and his staff are pushing for an early commitment and Thornton is well aware of that fact. So aware that he might consider deciding to end his recruitment early."

The film on the UMHoops page sort of reinforces that idea that Thornton would work out well in Beilein's system. I could definitely see him fitting into that scheme rather nicely. Hopefully, we do manage to get him in Ann Arbor.

We have an ELITE program in his backyard where he can Star in front of all his family and friends....and work towards and ELITE education. Sucks for him though because we will beat him and his Jayhawks in the tourney.
