MBB Recruiting: 2017 G/F Christian David
Thought the board could use a breath of fresh air, so I'm tossing out a name for the 2017 basketball recruiting class that many think could be an early commit for that class.
Christian David is a 6'5" Canadian (yay!) guard out of Milton, Ontario, who is tearing things up north of the border. He's rated as the No.1 Canadian prospect for 2017 and is being pursued heavily by Michigan and UConn. He's a lights-out shooter, great passer, and has a high basketball IQ (seriously, he does). Interestingly, he's also of Filipino descent and to my knowledge I don't think Michigan has ever had a Filipino basketball player (or Asian for that matter).

If he comes to Michigan, I'll be seriously disappointed if he doesn't continue to wear #109.

I love the number. I also really liked the step-back (long two) a-la-Stauskas he made toward the beginning of the video.

He only goes by the name Christian on Easter and Christmas. The rest of the year he goes by the name Lemmy.

There's an exception for it, but you have to claim it on Facebook by referencing UCC Article 5.
December 5th, 2014 at 12:11 PM ^
But wouldn't that make him ineligible, ala Aleksandar Radojević? Wouldn't want Beilein to have to get fired over this...
December 5th, 2014 at 12:13 PM ^
Perhaps you had meant UCC Art. 7...

the fans be waving at Crisler every time he steps on the court?

We just have to replace that god awful red with blue or maize.
December 5th, 2014 at 8:39 PM ^
Yes, with maize ... not highlighter yellow!

Damn I hope he ends up at M. Smooth handle/shot, and dat passing tho.
December 5th, 2014 at 11:33 AM ^
Let's see, I wish we could point to a 6'5" or 6'6" Canadian player that has thrived at Michigan and gone on to become a lottery pick.....
December 5th, 2014 at 11:34 AM ^
Is that possible? I've never met a Filipino over 5'8".
Smooth game though. He'd fit well in Beilins system.
December 5th, 2014 at 11:51 AM ^
Everyone else in the video is just really short

"He's a lights-out shooter, great passer, and has a high basketball IQ (seriously, he does)."
i read this and started imagining Nik Stauskas back on the team with glasses and a fake moustache
December 5th, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
It's all well and good that he's a Canadian with those skills, but here's the most important quality to be the Next Nik:
When he hits a crucial three on the road, does he have the appropriate hand gestures for the hostile crowd?
December 5th, 2014 at 12:48 PM ^
those highlights are pretty impressive for a high school sophomore.
December 5th, 2014 at 12:49 PM ^
Go Blue!
December 5th, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
Class of 2017 means he was probably born in (guh) 1999. So we're not all that far away from discussing the recruitment of kids born in this century. Yikes.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:39 PM ^
Looked like he wasn't challenged much in those clips. But his competition looked poor and short.
