...now we're back on track.
not near 7 feet
...about the 5th leading shot blocker in UM history!
Besides, Asselin is/was 6ft 11; so that's pretty near 7 feet. Smits, Bradley and Moore easily cleared it.

Headline: JON TESKE COMMITS TO MICHIGAN FOOTBALL CLASS OF 2016
Sure it will be fixed quickly, but enjoy while it lasts:

screen cap it.
Welcome to Teske
would be utilized in the red zone then I remembered he was a center.
I remember Leon Hall breaking up a red-zone toss to him. That beats Larry Nance blocking a Manute Bol shot.
Well, as they say sometimes, it never rains but it pours, except when it comes to recruits to bolster programs, I don't think you would necessarily want the umbrella, and indeed, a little rain never hurts but will hopefully help things grow and prosper. That being said, a welcome addition indeed - as Beilein said in the UMHoops article:
“It’s a thing we’ll continue to work on, but I don’t plan on changing at all. It would be nice to have a huge shot-blocker who can change games, but that will come through either in guys we have now or guys who are coming in, like a DJ Wilson will be able to block some shots.”
Welcome to Michigan, Jon Teske!

Somebody is feeling poetic tonight...
But +1 for the quotation. Beilein is great at working with the personnel he has, but give him something exceptional (ala Mitch McGary - f*ck you NCAA) and he'll spin gold.
I hope you stick to your commitment and that you will have a wonderful career academically as well as athletically.
Let's see ... within the last two weeks we've gotten committments from a four-star receiver in football, then a highly-regarded D-III transfer in basketball, then a four-star running back in football, and now a 7-foot shot-blocking center in basketball.
OK, football - your turn.
this gif has gotten recently on here, is beautiful.
I met Jon and his family on Mackinac Island last week. We were eating at the pizza buffet! They seemed like real nice people and he even signed an autograph for my nephew.
Cool story bro!
I hope you were wearing some Michigan Gear.
Great news. I feel kinda bad for Ace having to keep writing these commitment posts.
Sam Webb has previously opined that Teske's committment would likely (but far from certainly) sway Thornton and Battle, who both expressed an interest in playing with him.
Awesome score no matter what, though. Also an interesting changeup from Beilein's typical center recruits from what I can tell.
Wow, one article stated he was measured at 6'11" without shoes, thats a legitimate big man. If that is true then he is a 7 footer in basketball terms. Seeing as he is still young, he may not even be done fully growing either.
one of the few times i hope a kid is done growing.
I Was indeed wearing some maize and blue.
I can't wait to see how he uses Teske. Great pickup.
Also I have a friend who is 6'8" and Jon seemed noticeably taller.
No my tall friend was not with me.
welcome testicles
247 says that he's 17 and 3 months old. Meaning, he'll be 19 and a half by the time of his first game of his freshman year. Is he actually that old?

Too old then.
DO. NOT. WANT.
Just kidding. Now I feel old...
They come in fours?
Cuz I sure did!
