Hello: Spike Albrecht
It's officially official. Per UMHoops, the 6'1" 180 lb Crown Point / Northfield Mount Hermon (Mass.) PG has committed to Michigan. He is the fourth commit that Wayne Brumm, head coach of the SYF Players AAU team, has sent Beilein's way (GRIII, Bielfeldt, McGary).
Also, not mentioned on this board much, but I think he'll be 19 or 20 when he steps on campus since he did a year of prep school. So, while we'll have 4 freshman coming in, three of them will not be true freshman from an age perspective. That's a big deal when it comes to muscle/size for college athletes.
than Trey, either. If he can get six to nine points on ca. 33% shooting (assuming Trey goes) the team should be fine.
This should be a very solid pickup for Michigan. He has experience playing with a couple of the Freshman coming in, he's played at a high level vs. other AAU teams and he's not looking to shoot first. All of this PLUS the added bonus that Beilein and his assistants do a very good job of "coaching kids up".
minutes at the point this year and push Walton for starting minutes next year. Great job by Beilein.
Skip's parents have got to be stoked that their son is going to get a degree from UM.
